Remember when California was burning down and people found out all the water was owned by one guy and the fire fighters were prisoners? Insurance companies didn't want to pay for people houses and a firm bought up the burnt land?
You got poorer they got rich
that's capitalism.
@BloggedByRain @Axolotltwit In fact I used to live by public housing in south central LA. Still go there every now and then. They’re not perfect but I’ve seen them get revitalized without displacing the black community because rent can’t rise arbitrarily. They can get revitalized without displacement
@BloggedByRain @Axolotltwit Unfortunately it’s true, any attempt at revitalizing a neighborhood ends up gentrifying that area. But it’s not the revitalization that’s the issue, it’s how those with power over your rent choose to exploit that revitalization
It’s incredibly irresponsible that a lot of major media outlets are eulogizing Charlie Kirk and describing him simply as a moderate conservative. There are lots of people who are first hearing of him and are seeing good faith representations of his fascist politics/platforms
@MorePerfectUS@ProtectOurCare One of the biggest manufactured fears around socialized healthcare was that it would overburden the system. Turns out that fear is being realized under the private system, except we still pay way too much for nothing in return.
