Various companies have been talking about this since Katrina practically which was almost 20 years ago and they haven’t done anything yet. This is the equivalent of vaporware in gaming at this point.

Yep, pretty much. They’ll never issue a real fine.

Agreed. Corporations should not be allowed to own housing. It has zero benefits for the public and little to no drawbacks for the corporation.

Seriously. They act like it’s 1924 not 2024, when ~$3,000 was the equivalent of ~$55,000 today.

Gentrification: the process whereby the character of a poor urban area is changed by wealthier people moving in, improving housing, and attracting new businesses, typically displacing current inhabitants in the process.

It literally is gentrification. And yes they are NIMBYs too. It’s both. It’s the same coin.

Pretty much. Gentrification in action. They’re pricing out workers who work these jobs and then the rich people who move in pitch a fit about how there’s long waits and “no service” and how “no one wants to work anymore.” You all did this to yourselves. You chased away the workers. If you have a problem with the environment you created, perhaps you should stop doing that or go work these “great” jobs yourselves?

Good. Let’s issue warrants for all current and former presidents too as they’re all war criminals.

I hope they fine all of them trillions and jail the top level people. They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this BS. There’s been rampant price gouging, fixing, and collusion going on in this country for a long time now across industries and it sure would be nice if someone would do something to stop it.

Right? There’s people still spouting that “all of that money from the pandemic” is somehow still sustaining the lives of thousands and thousands of people 4 years later.

There is no “God’s Law,” because there is no God. God is a figment of society’s imagination. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, ghosts, aliens, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster are all more real than “God.”

Also, we don’t have a state religion despite these fuckwads’ desperation for a christofascist theocracy. Can’t they just all fuck off to some uninhabited island and live out their stupidity there?

Don’t you just love rent/housing? Oh, sorry you don’t make enough money to qualify for a mortgage. But hey you can pay $1,500/month+ to pay your landlord’s mortgage!

It’s almost like we have no money and don’t have a choice because having ridiculous luxury items like FOOD, requires you know, money.

Hmm, interesting. Maybe I should try that sometime.

On lemmy.world you click the little clipboard looking thing underneath your community’s name on the right side of the screen.

Where exactly did I say to vote for Trump?

My saying doing the same thing over and over and over was perhaps too vague. I meant we shouldn’t keep voting for Republicans AND Democrats and expecting them to fix things because neither have any interest in doing so. They only care about making themselves rich and their donors rich.

Venus? Neptune? Alpha Centauri?

If this doesn’t help convince people that Democrats are Blue Republicans, I don’t know what will. She’s literally part of the other party.

Keep on licking boots. That’ll fix things. You’ve been doing the same song and dance for 40+ years and what’s happened? The rich keep getting richer and everyone else keeps getting worse off. You’re not going to get the results you claim to want by doing the same thing over and over and over and over.

I respectively disagree. IMO, they’re centrists, Neither are communists nor socialists.

Both campaigned on being left. But what have their actions been since they got into office? Campaigning and in-office actions are not always the same.

In Bernie’s case he used to be left, but when Biden got in office he has bent the knee and been milquetoast centrist. And AOC is Pelosi 2.0. Doesn’t care about anything except making money and protecting her own image. She’s full of shit. In any other country she’d be right wing.

What an asshole this guy is. Fuck off with your gaslighting Darren Woods.

Yes, because that’ll certainly help things. /s

Didn’t we already try little to no regulations at least once in this country? Deregulating doesn’t generally help anyone except the rich.
