I use this site to correct myself when I’m feeling TOO good about the world.

@kvfrlvr @Goji_Saurus You don’t need an exact height measurement for that.

@outlanderagain @PaulWescot @AtarCaligine @morematerial I literally gave you an answer in the last post.
My answer is “I don’t know and I don’t care. It would get figured out.”

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@PaulWescot @outlanderagain @AtarCaligine @morematerial Idk what you’re referring to when you say “less than 1%”. Number of people living below poverty level is ~10-13% of US population.

Always better to have something and not need it, than to need it and not have it, I always say.

My mind won’t change on this, my friend.
Thank you.

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@PaulWescot @outlanderagain @AtarCaligine @morematerial If it is a *basic* type of necessity within the categories of food, shelter, and clothing (not luxury types like cakes, or sunglasses or entire houses) then yes, you’re correct.
Basic needs shouldn’t be for profit.
Will that ever happen? Not a chance.
But one can dream.

@PaulWescot @outlanderagain @AtarCaligine @morematerial “Almost no one” isn’t “no one”. And “practically giving away” isn’t “giving away”.
Thank you for your time.

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@outlanderagain @PaulWescot @AtarCaligine @morematerial You’re just moving the goalposts every time. But to play along with you, my answer is “I don’t know and don’t care. It would get figured out.”

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@outlanderagain @PaulWescot @AtarCaligine @morematerial You’re too stuck on one type of item.
The question originally was basically “should necessities be free?” to which I/others said “yes”.
Luxury-type of necessities could be sold for money, like cakes or sunglasses, but the basics of each (bread, plaintshirt) should be free.

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@PaulWescot @AtarCaligine @morematerial Yes

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@TrueSlazac @TheMadG02461987 @HenryForLA Sincere question: why could housing not be built without deregulation? What’s stopping them from doing it with regulations? Do we not want safe, quality housing without cutting corners?

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@LinkofSunshine @Beepisboopis Non-starter argument due to landlord having to pay for repairs by law or get sued.

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@uzzelien @MaceAhWindu First off: source for your claim?

Second: Again, if you can’t afford to maintain a property, then you should not be a landlord.
So in those cases, yes, the state should take over that property if landlord is blatantly breaking tenant laws.

Any other questions/concerns?

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@uzzelien @MaceAhWindu You also ignored where the mayor said if a landlord would actually struggle due to this, there is a fund they can apply for to help. Simple as that.

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@uzzelien @MaceAhWindu By “less profit” I mean “less profit”. If you can’t afford to maintain a building, then you shouldn’t be a landlord. It shouldn’t be a main source of income in the first place, that’s just poor financia planning on their part.

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@uzzelien @MaceAhWindu Landlords have to maintain properties by law, get sued if they don’t, So thats a moot point. The argument is “but landlords will make less profit!”, which, yep 🤷🏻‍♂️ oh well. They still make profit. And the video states there’s a fund for landlords who will be closer to margins.

@buckysbiwife I’d put money on the concept of “anchor beings” never being mentioned again and it just being a one-off reason to get Wolverine into the MCU.

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@pumtepego @SoraGold_2302 The same ailment was happening to the mom, it’s not a visual metaphor. It’s a side effect of being in the painting too long. I forget the actual name of the ailment.

[Theprofessaur @TheProfessaur]

@LordGrunkis @maellestarr The people in Maelle’s ending aren’t the same versions we played as though. You see Gustave is back in the theater at the end, but he’s been dead most of the game. It’s implied they’re now forced to be Maelle’s slaves, basically.

@ArtofPhantomX @GoofTesticles Except for being nothing like Rise of The Imperfects 🤔

@toughcustomer2 @LauriceF @E_Laawn @thebiologistisn @sir_not_this @RichardHanania It’s happened plenty of times I’m sure, most recently with Tulsi Gabbard at her confirmation hearing just earlier this year iirc. Doesn’t matter if they lie if no one brings actual consequences.
