On one hand there is a looming creep of fascism, disproportionately rasing cost of living, car-centric hellfrastructure, and everlooming threat of medical debt, the concept that is baffling to anyone from any developed country. On the other hand the encryption of your phone is regulated slightly tighter and you need to diy it if you need.
Well, I really don't know what to choose.

Take this oil-baron founded Q nonsense out of here

Living time is not working time though. That we just should normalise more. Shitty employers are trying to make people work overtime regardless, so the solution for that is the same, no matter where are you physically.

Yeah, and dying in prison because you disrespected the glorious leader is worse than living under the bridge because you can't afford a rent working three jobs.
But if we were to think of a system that will be an improvement, switching from barely regulated ancap dream to something managed not by profit but by desire to give people necessities is better for society. And it will have to involve a government.

US is default on the internet, that's just how it is. I'm not from US either but still living in this paradigm.

I’m just saying making the government the landlord wouldn’t necessarily be any better

Yeah, obviously it wouldn’t necessarily be any better but it's hard to be worse

Yeah, we know, you are that unicorn that rents out your properties for the cost of utilities and don't profit massively from it. Even if you are not lying on the internet (I know, preposterous), you are that unique one. If everyone was like that the problem wouldn't even exist.

In the democracy the government can be influenced, working for people, and providing utilities and not trying to profit on every interaction.
US democracy is very much broken so you can't see how it would work, but that's the idea.

Obviously not. The "movement" wants to remove profit intensives from the whole process

I wonder why people are in no position to buy, when homes are treated as a source of revenue for corporations and some people. I wonder why people have to jump through hoops to be able to have a roof, if the property are bought as an investment.
Yeah, maybe you aren't lying and not making a profit out people's suffering, but even you should see that it's not the norm, otherwise your benevolence wouldn't be needed at all. The whole system is cruel, and everyone who participates contributes to it, some more than others.

Scalpers are investors of sorts, yes. Doesn't make it a good thing that we should have in society

Governments are not immune to corruptions, but in the democracy there are ways to influence the government. Private companies that buy all the property are doing the corruption by design, in this case it's not even called corruption, it's normal profit-driven business, it's supposed to be like that. And you can't do shit about that, there is no ways to influence them

There is enough empty property to house every homeless person 30 times. Some of those empty property are summer houses and shit, but even then the problem isn't the lack of housing, it's treating homes as a mean to make money out of people's basic needs. You can build the best walkable city in the world, but if it will be bought by professional landlords immediately it will not solve shit.
