One problem at time. Using the overwhelming tactic is just that, a tactic. Just because there are other issues we face, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t fight this battle. But at the end of the day the answer is yes- we should review all existing items that one can buy. Have you seen the state of the environment lately?

I would love a co op

No one has a right to own multiple properties

If you buy it, live in it. That’s not communism, that’s taking control of a crisis. Feel free to rent out part of the house while you live in it, in fact some places are incentivizing exactly that. But owning multiple homes for profit is the problem, whether it’s by corporations or “mom and pop” landlords. It’s a problem we can and should fix.

Owning multiple homes for profit is a large part of the current crisis. People shouldn’t be able to withhold homes and hold them ransom.

That makes no sense at all.

And becoming wealthy by withholding human rights from others isn’t “survival”.

Correct, but only one mountain can be climbed at a time. We have more reliable food sources than housing sources right now.

Those rentals should be a social project not a profit driven one.

I said achieve wealth. These people aren’t generating large amounts of personal wealth by withholding a basic human right from someone

Choosing to use a basic human right as a form of income is scummy. All landlords are scum, whether they are rich or not.

You should never achieve wealth by the oppression of someone else. Housing is a human right, not a salary.

The rent that pays the mortgage he couldn’t afford to pay. All rent is is paying someone else’s mortgage.

If you buy it, live in it. Stop contributing to the housing crisis. Greed got us here, it certainly won’t get us out.

Rentals should be socialized, not owned by corporations or private citizens.

So you’re keeping home ownership away from someone who can afford to pay your mortgage is what you’re really saying.

It’s also Canadian Labour Day

I feel like you watched me grow up. For a long time I was smart enough to pick things up naturally, I was even offered to skip grades.

Then the math got complicated and I didn’t know how to learn it. I went from being the smart kid to being the stupid one in remedial math. Being smart was all I had at that point, so when I “lost” that, I lost everything in my eyes. I was stupid and I was never going to be anything because of it.

I ended up getting my GED as an adult and I now have a promising career in insurance- so I didn’t really lose everything, but when I was 15 it sure felt like I had.

Canadian confirming that the angry party leaves the bed. Usually me because I need time to think it through, get pissy and maybe a little childish, get over being pissy and childish and then go talk about it once I’ve realized how I was probably wrong or have come up with a way that accurately describes how I was wronged and why that makes me angry or sad. My husband is also the type that needs to think it out before talking so it works, unfortunately his process is way slower than mine.

I don’t know if it is a healthy way of dealing but it works for both of us and neither of us had healthy examples of any relationship in our lives so we take what we can get

I see they know my ex husband before the additional 300 lbs.

Their current symbol looks like a painted over swastika, so I’m sure their future will continue be a painted over swastika.
