Rent is robbery... But your landlord is poorer than you? What?
People with diverse skills or able to remote work, move to the Midwest and rural mountain states. Swing them blue and get all the mcmansions you want.
So your building mechanic, accountant, and one liable in case anything goes wrong who is just as poor and destitute as him huh?
Doesn't sound like a landlord problem does it?
Yes, yes they are. Which is why you pay for their services.
If a you pay a mechanic to fix your car, and it breaks down on the way home, you take that shit back and tell them to fix it.
If you pick up your car and the mechanic complains of an overdraft fee from the bank, because everything hinged on you picking up your car at noon instead of 3pm, that isn't your problem.
No one said that landlord's are poor, landlord's quite literally leech off of their tenants pay checks, making them even richer than they were to start, without lifting a finger, or contributing anything to society.
It sure sounds like the cases you're talking about are landlords who are building mechanics, accountants, and living just as paycheck to paycheck trying to stay afloat just like all of you.
We get it, you're a leech.
Sounds like a rich people laughing at poors fighting each other problem to me.
But yeah, keep blaming your neighbor and the one who you literally have to work with to live in your overpriced city. That'll really change things this time you fake ass propaganda pushing gullible sap.
Dude, you're name is joking about native American genocide, stfu
Blankets with smallpox is made up history mate. Go read.
The British repeatedly gave blankets they new had smallpox. Todays evidence is that nothing happened, the virus was already dead. But it's worth mentioning that from a Native American perspective this still happened, they received blankets and shortly after they had an epidemic. Whether they contracted it from the blankets or not is sort of besides they point, they intended to infect Native Americans with smallpox and local tribes ended up having a smallpox epidemic shortly after. Maybe they found another way, or maybe someone got infected by coming in contact with the British during one of the conflicts. But does it really matter? With or without blankets they still murdered millions (thought to be the largest genocide in human history) of native people on their own land simply because they wanted to steal all the land. They didn't need smallpox to do that, they did it with guns, and forced starvation.
You're welcome to Google or read my profile rather than just pretending like you know everything rather than contributing to false history and slowly changing your statements into ones I've already made lol.
It's literally whitewashing the reality of native deaths. And you accuse of me of making a joke of it? My name is there for a reason.
I'm not the person who first responded, I accused you of nothing...
Huh? You're the one who replied to me lol.
I'm saying I'm not the one that accused you. You're confusing me with the person who responded before me.
Ohhh got it, just the end portion. Yeah that was more for... 1nk.
Disregarding that, what you said is untrue. As I told the other person, you are welcome to just Google or search my comment history. I reply regularly with the same thing when white folk get reminded of their white guilt then have to white knight my own race without realizing how blankets with smallpox was never a thing lol.
