In defense of landlords

We play ice hockey. I haven't heard of snow hockey. Besides, I've recently put my dock out on the lake right in front of my house. The dock and my boats took over the location the ice rink I made this past winter was.
You don't play snow shoe hockey.. hoser

It's interesting when things go south for workers by no fault of their own, society tells them to invest in themselves, get a better job, improve their base of skills, pull themselves up by their bootstraps, etc. When things go south for landlords, it's imperative we get them a taxpayer funded government bailout so that they don't go under and all the people they employ don't lose their jobs.

When poor people need help, our society shuns them and denigrates their livelihood and chastises them for not thinking ahead and setting aside the money necessary for unforseen downturns. When giant corporations spend all their profits on stock buybacks to increase shareholder profit, instead of investing it back into the business for unforseen downturns, big government bailouts to the rescue..

What I find sad is the amount of people who buy into it allowing them to get away with it. It's very clearly socialism for the wealthy and rugged capitalism for the poor. Privatise the wins, socialize the losses.

And you think it would be better with a Biden at the helm?

Naive at best, complicit at worst

It's the system that needs change, not who runs it

Lots of those people just decided not to pay because they heard if they give a letter to their landlords they don’t have to for a few months.

Everyone is going to be fucked when they spend all Their stimulus money on booze and bullshit
You heard people aren't going to pay their rent because they assume they don't have to for a few months, then you assume everyone is just going to spend their stimulus on 'booze and bullshit'. These criticisms are so on the nose I wonder what color of skin you think the majority of these people have..

People aren't going to pay their rent because they can't, because they're not working.. They could barely pay it before when they were working.

Uh huh, all that Sea of Green and you end it with 'but Biden' like he is anywhere near the level of corruption as Trump. He went his entire career in DC as a Senator/Congressman living off those wages, and not a millionaire until after 8 years as being the VPOTUS and could get hundreds of thousands for speeches.

Our country is under attack and you are going to try to get people to believe that Biden is 'the elite'? I guess Trump's trolls did get people to believe a middle class woman and a Black man were the 'elite' against a 'billionaire' who got all his money from daddy (although lost it all and then had to wash money for foreign dictators), so maybe it will, who knows.

This is an accurate statement, but needs qualification.

To make personnel adjustments within the existing framework as you imply, is not real change. Realigning who gets what within the existing system is not real "system change" either.

It is simply a forcible redistribution arrangement rearranged within a system which would still systemically rely on forcible redistribution. (try saying that really fast 3 times in a row! ) In other words the gun simply gets pointed in a different direction.

If it doesn't have a systemic basis in voluntary human interactions as the norm, it still has a systemic basis in involuntary interactions as the norm. Until that changes, the sentence above still applies.

assisting those too big to fail with bailouts is not capitalism, it's socialism..free market my ass, it doesn't work that way. they're supposed to go out of business- the american way so others can come up behind them giving us better product; less cost.

the dinosaurs don't want to leave..who would with that kushy set-up?

Yes, it is. Voters are clueless and some are worse than clueless. I am not endorsing this phenomena, I am simply observing it.
The first $10,000 from the ppp hit my account this morning. Just waiting on stimulus and pua now

isn’t that great?
