Landlords see a bucket of white latex paint and go, “YOOOOOOOO!”
This reminds me of the weird partial cabinet around my gas meter that came with the house 18 years ago. The paint is the only thing holding it together and I’d need a real carpenter to replace it.
You're blaming landlords/homeowners? Just blame lazy humans as a given and be done.
I've bought a house nearly 80 years old and the poor girl has had so much paint put on it, if it was makeup, it would be a rubber mask.
And it was done by tennants! Not the landlords, not the owners, the tennants! The answer was putting on a fresh coat of paint every year. And preferably in different colour from the previous.
The result was a mess of a house I bought for a really low price but needing a ton of love and maintenance. With 80 years old prime woods covered with paint that never belonged there to begin with.
It's not before vs after?
I have to say that I've seen this same level of effort on the left from homeowners.
So while landlords should be banned (not just from painting, but from existing, especially as they are permitted to operate today), the "paint everything" is an idiot owner problem that is not landlord exclusive.
Might as well be tenants, of the last two places I rented one landlord redid the whole bathroom because of a few mold spots and the other one repainted everything white between tenants, making sure to remove everything they could from the walls and taping everything that shouldn't be painted...
But when you don't own the place anyway? Why bother, paint everything, not your problem.
Human parasites.
Everyone is like:
"Ban Landlords"
"Ban Private Healthcare"
"Fair Wages"
I'll do one phrase that just encompasses everything:
"Ban Capitalism"
I like the idea of making capitalism unnecessary through automation. Eliminate jobs, eliminate customers, eliminate profits. Make the system produce what we need all by itself. The rich have a similar system already, they call it passive income - set up some deals and money starts flowing to you all by itself. We can do the same with everything - passive prosperity.
Lol. If you don't get rid of capitalism, you'll just be jobless and starving while the rich reaps all the hard work resulting from the robots that the working class have built.
I mean, just look at how the UBI idea get repeatedly shot down every time its proposed.
Dude, getting rid of capitalism is exactly what I was describing. Sorry I didn't craft it into a meme for you.
You don't have to be a landlord to be a moron or not a good caretaker of your space.
Look at your floor. Can you see dirt visibly on it? 🤷. I'm judging you way more for that than having a painted door.
True, but personally I'd judge someone who painted right over the entire doorknob more than someone with dirt on their floor 😭
Yes, I blame my dog for being a messy eater who is resistant to my efforts to get him to use a place mat. He keeps grabbing a mouthful of food, walking over to the carpet, dropping the food, then eating off the carpet.
Happily, our carpets are washable. I just don't wash them every time I feed the dog.
