@djlink Yeah… this is a weird headline. Like who are they trying to make feel bad? Lower rent for people wanting to live is a good thing.
@khalidabuhakmeh but the poor stock holders tho! 🙃
@davidjayindie The irony is these folks want the rewards of taking massive risks, but not the consequences. That’s how capitalism works :P
@khalidabuhakmeh @davidjayindie that is not capitalism - it is mere greed. It seems I see the word ‘capitalism’ used extensively these days to mean nothing of what it really is. It’s like using the word ‘woke’. Anyway maybe look the word up next time.
@Scotts @davidjayindie I know what it means, but clearly (whatever you want to call it) the system has gone sideways and is not serving the majority of the folks that live in it.
Thanks for your pedantry. It’s appreciated. 👍
@khalidabuhakmeh @Scotts@universeodon.com @davidjayindie the problem is what we have is ersatz capitalism
@voron @khalidabuhakmeh @davidjayindie
"Real capitalism has never been tried"
@voron @davidjayindie @khalidabuhakmeh Yeah, that was the joke
@pieist @davidjayindie @khalidabuhakmeh pretty much like real communism
