Same people were making 'fuck your landlord' posts last year when Biden said they didn't have to pay rent. Squeezed out the small 1 or 2 property owners for corporations who could withstand the income hit and afford the legal fees.

It's predatory by nature, whether its Uncle Bob the landlord or a faceless megacorp

Mao was wrong about a lot of stuff but not this

This issue boils down to what people expect. People expect to work some dipshit job for 30 hours a week and live in a nice two bedroom apartment with pool, gym, security etc.

Work a low skill job part time and you will live in a shit dump. Which is totally fine, what better motivation to get off your ass and apply yourself. Tired of seeing people shit in your alley? Tired if your kid hearing gunshots at night? Work harder and don't buy shit you don't need.

All the whining about costs is bullshit, it boils down to expectations of applied effort.

Clean. Your. Room.

Last time they got upset all the Democrats think there was an insurrection.

Yeah the occupy movement is totally bullshit.

To be fair you’re describing America between 1950-1980

But oh well, life today is fun and chill!

We’re not on the brink of a Civil War or a world war or a depression or anything.

This is all poopoo_86 just Internet talk.

If the interest rates go up so will the banners of war.

We can’t ask the poor people to make up for all the success the rich people had during the pandemic.

Something is going to give.

The most out of touch boomer nonsense I have seen all day, thanks for posting

Just work harder lol. You have never experienced the poverty you are so broadly dismissing and it shows. Poor people having three jobs means they are lazy to Homesteaded, very cool

What's different now? Poor people who work low wage jobs have always had to sacrifice. No one wants to sacrifice now. You see it all the time, people working low wage jobs often have the best phones, new cloths. They are not sacrificing because they have come to expect more than they deserve based on effort. This hasn't changed, what has changed is morals are from society. We're all taught that everything is okay and all ways of life are equally respectable. None of this is true.
