First of all: "Just asking questions" is not an argument. It's disingenuous at best and done by people who have a strong opinion on a subject but can't articulate why. They feel they are correct and think they are cleverly avoiding having to actually defend their stance by never actually stating what it is.

And why shouldn’t they buy the house?

Because the necessities of survival shouldn't be a source of profit. Companies shouldn't be allowed to purchase all the air or water and force you to buy it from them for inflated prices because "what else are you going to do?" In the same why they shouldn't be allowed to buy all the property and force you to rent from them because "where else are you going to stay?"

What’s the limit on houses?

That's exactly the problem. There should be a limit on houses, and we're seeing the consequences of a limit not existing. People are calling for a limit to exist.

Personally I think it should be illegal to rent out a property you don't live on, and any property you own beyond the first should be taxed at a much higher rate.

I live comfortably in a 2 story, 3 bedroom that I own and I'm able to put enough into savings each month that I'm easily able to afford any emergencies that come up.

Looking at local prices, I would not be able to rent of a much smaller unit where I live.

The actual 'need' for rent could be easily covered by people renting out their basement suite or having a boarder. There's no benefit to society for allowing people to purchase properties they don't live on just to profit off someone else's rent.

It was direct to TV Galaxy Quest before Galaxy Quest.

'Use Info from TV Inputs.”

Well that is an incredibly misleading name that sounds like something I would want to keep enabled.

"If some idiot wants to pay for it..."

Not everybody lives their lives based on political cancel culture.

Just the people who tried to cancel Rock and Roll, Heavy Metal, D&D, The Dixie Chicks, teaching black history, books, trans people, gay people, abortions...

I don't care about Karma, I care about comments being sorted by general usefulness.

Right, that's why you being a "straight male" is so important to this discussion that it's the first thing you brought up.

I may be wrong about incel because I don't know if you can call it involuntary when you're choosing to be abhorrent, but at least we agree on antisocial closed minded bigot.

Isn't it funny how your opinion on the subject literally doesn't matter at all? You've made it clear that you only ever talk to people you work with, which explains why you're an antisocial incel. If, as you say, you will never actually interact with a potential trans person in your life then your trash opinion literally does not matter to anyone.

You just wanted to let everyone know you're a closed minded bigot, and we heard you the first time.

everyone else I don’t care to talk to

and we all appreciate your service. Unfortunately you're talking to me right now and you can only take my word that I'm a male.

You don’t know what you don’t know.

And when you don't know what genitals someone was born with how do you address them?

I respect people when they’re capable and honest.

Glad to know you don't respect yourself any more than I do.

So when someone says to you they are a woman, how do you determine if you refer to them with feminine pronouns?
