Wow damn. I hope they have something to read.
I’m glad you specified Russia’s Putin, so I know it’s not one of those other Putins.
Why did the court agree with Greenpeace?
Strictly speaking, the USA will defend Israel from Iran whil Israel exacerbates tensions.
Not a moral complaint. Just a clarification.
Yes, if things were different then things would be different.
is there a way to approach being a landlord in an ethical and community-minded way?
One landlord may be more or less “ethical and community minded” than another, but being a landlord is 100% about profiting from somebody else’s precariousness. The best you can say is, “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.” I appreciate a landlord who fixes the broken pipes and doesn’t totally gouge me… but that always feels like Stockholm Syndrome.
Would being transparent with the renter about the total cost of owning the property, like the mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance, etc., then basing the rent payment off that total cost plus 10% or something be ethical?
I don’t see what difference that would make. They still get to set the price, and you can either take it or leave it.
I also recognize that many people don’t want the commitment that comes with purchasing a home.
I suspect that this number is extremely low.
How can the need for those people be met without landlords existing?
Easily with far (far far far) fewer landlords.
It’s genuinely ridiculous to paint “rental homes” as some boutique service offered as a choice to home-owners who have money for a house but just don’t want the “commitment” (?!?!?!?!?) of not throwing a huge portion of your money away every month. Absurd.
I don’t hate small landlords. We all have to betray humanity to avoid being homeless. We work at unscrupulous companies, because what other kind of companies are usually hiring? But we don’t have to contort ourselves to the point of breaking every single bone in our bodies to morally justify profiting from the unfair precariousness of people terrified of homelessness.
It’s almost delicious.
I didn’t realize ISIL was still a thing.
This is why remote work is bad!
I bet some very lucky American contracting companies will be hired to assist in this monumental task. Maybe even contracting companies associated with US politicians.
She’s borderline brain-dead even though she’s in her prime. I genuinely hope Biden wins AND lives for another five years.
If he dies do William become king or does Camilla the Usurper become queen?
Neanderthal!
Hey, we have tanning salons!
I think that’s fair. And I hope you’re right about WW3. Maybe the existence of nukes will deter the kind of factions that led to the first two. But the escalating global tensions (already an understatement) don’t give me much comfort.
Are we genuinely worried there might be a big war with Russia? We’re basically talking about WW3 here. Shouldn’t this issue be confronted at a deeper level than “whether to do conscription?” The (perceived) necessity for conscription should be resolved.
A soldier and veteran with documentation vs some video dude’s speculation.
So no, your video doesn’t actually explain anything. It just throws shade.
The Taliban kicked the US army out of Afghanistsn. America left in a disorganized panic.
