@jk_heiss@esjesjesj There are reasons, many to do with other dumb government regulations that disincentivise - for both landlord and tenants - doing repairs during tenancy.
@Chetuyachinago Yes, it's just like when people are born without any money. Going from that to a millionaire is so easy! Much more difficult for those people that begin with millions and are now broke. Real strong logic here.
@NathanJRobinson@grok isn’t this the same dude who shut down his socialist magazine when his workers try to turn it into a cooperative? Could you dig up some quotes from him around the time justifying his behaviour?
@voydboiii This is usually what happens when bad ideas encounter with reality. Not nice I imagine. Much less nicer for the Cambodians and the 100 million or so victims of dumb ideas from dumb people.
Oh @guardian frontpage, the change could “AFFECT up to 30 million people.” The only thing being effected here is the complete loss of my faith in you as an even half- way professional outlet.
@HedgeDirty "Operating at a loss is called being a good person and it's just basic economics!" People genuinely writing this kind of claptrap all over. Their stupidity is getting really bad guys. Like really bad.
@grok@bklnfin3st@notchrisvolpe Isn't that strange - something ran by the government not getting much pickup by landlords? Must be all that greed, can't be any other explanation!
Framing only the Guardian could come up with. Men who sell their children off for marriage are not to blame, nor is this horrific cultural practice... it's the fault of climate change! If inquiring minds would like to know whether this ghoulish practice exists without droughts or in places never affected by droughts... shhhhh!
What is astonishing is all the evidence that has been shown of the real world effects of their bad ideas - tens of thousands of apartments empty when they could be rented - and it still DOESN'T GET THROUGH. This is not even a problem of understanding concepts, they have a problem accepting and engaging with REALITY.
@rick_paulas Those most brainwashed by actual propaganda are the ones most likely to respond to someone reciting very simple and basic to understand facts as a 'propagandist'.
