He/Him, aspiring VA, sometimes I do stuff, but usually I just post random thoughts, and communist propaganda (more of the former tbh)

@cooliochicky @loopy_loon1443 @StefanFrancisci @UntalkativeOwl No? I'm not doing that? It is just absolutely a fact that housing companies do this. Whether I can demonstrate that it might be more profitable for them to not do this is irrelevant. They still do it. Also, rent has increased 65% in the last decade alone.

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@charliereif @PeakStatism Then I feel it is a reasonable assumption that it is likely that Z is, in fact, a stand in for T, or, to translate, money is a stand in for capital. Especially when you're trying to argue that communists don't understand how necessary capitalism actually is.

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@charliereif @PeakStatism As I said, you could delete the government and all of the things I described would still have happened, solely because it was profitable for them to happen. If your thesis is "X is Y, Z is NOT Y" but X is actually a stand in for Q...

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@loopy_loon1443 @StefanFrancisci @UntalkativeOwl The supply is fine. This isn't a supply issue, not really. If a rental company leaves 40% of their houses and apartments vacant, intentionally, to drive up prices, that isn't a problem with supply. That's a fundamental problem with the way rent works as an economic model.

@NixORiley @LinkofSunshine I see, I misunderstood. Aure, some would. I doubt it's quite enough to increase NYCs population by a staggering amount though. While I, too, am someone who would consider it, at least anecdotally, basically everyone I know openly finds moving to NYC abhorrent, costs aside.

@bird_hmm @HGoyin26045 @jngo_alt @aidaknx @sigmahamster2 What exactly is "reddit" about calling somebody saying something genuinely evil out on having said something evil? Do you think that saying children should be happy is cringe? Because that's actually just fucking stupid dog.

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@HGoyin26045 @jngo_alt @aidaknx @sigmahamster2 Bro, what the fuck are you talking about? You replied to someone asking if a child has a right to childcare with "no". That has literally nothing to do with slavery. Absolutely crazy thing to reply with in context.

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@charliereif @PeakStatism Ah yes, the banana republics didn't experience any aggression due to money. Haiti wasn't penalized financially for the populace freeing themselves from slavery. The US hasn't been in a political quagmire in the Middle East due to THE COST OF OIL for half a fucking century now.

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@NixORiley @LinkofSunshine No, they wouldn't. The idea that the unhoused "travel for benefits" is a myth, and a frankly deranged one at that. The reason so many aren't from the area they live in is they moved there for work, lost their work, lost their home and had no support network nearby to help.

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@SirBensalot @KoeteXia13 Ignoring that we have plenty of housing RIGHT NOW, no it doesn't. This is an absolutely crazy thing I keep seeing people say. Landlords not immediately being able to buy up new housing developments does not suddenly mean new housing developments won't be built ever.

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@HGoyin26045 @jngo_alt @aidaknx @sigmahamster2 I almost have to applaud you for thinking saying something like this doesn’t make you ontologically evil. Like, whatever other opinions you may have, saying that children don't have a right to be raised in a happy healthy environment is actually just fucking evil.

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@Jondaphemp @Lady_Misift @endabortionmeme And hippocampus means "seahorse" but we don't have a literal seahorse in our brains that keep track of our long term memories, do we? Even if that was literally the correct translation (it isn't), that the latin word we use means that has zero bearing on anything.

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@ConnorElderJr @headinajaro @ZacharyZorua @MomsPostingLs How would you prefer I categorize people Connor? Non-trans, non-queer? Because that's literally all cis-het means. It's like being mad that someone called you white. Or are you such a special little guy that you refuse to be put in a basic demographical category?

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@ZJMQVoid @SocDem_Erika It shouldn't be. People should be able to buy their own homes, nevermind that rent is approaching levels that are fully just unlivable.

The reason more renters don't buy is they cannot save for a down payment, because... rent is so fucking high. This isn't rocket science man.

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@ZJMQVoid @SocDem_Erika Why would fewer people be willing to build housing in the long run? There are plenty of ways we could easily solve that hypothetical.

Rent is already higher than mortgage rates, so yes, anyone paying rent in NYC could afford to buy one of the now cheaper homes given a few months

[Jacob Chamberlain @ImTotallyaVA]

@headinajaro @ZacharyZorua @MomsPostingLs Didn't say school, I said mass. Feel free to provide me an example of a school shooter who did it "because they were trans" though, if you're just talking about them. If there's this epidemic of trans school shootings (there isn't), you should also be able to prove it.

@NervousNeander1 @DanFriedman81 As for lives ruined, even just in his personal life, he has done everything in his power to destroy his own child. He routinely fires people for trying to push back on his idiocy. He oversaw the largest layoffs of critical staff for the park's service since it's inception.
