over 100% rent increase, epic. it's only so long before the mass homelessness boils over
'the capitalists will sell the rope we hang them with'. short term profits are never seen as a part of a wider material reality that radicalises people, but just as one individual acting in self interest to get ahead
Like the other comment said, mass incarceration
- Criminalise homelessness
- Make more people homeless
- Privatise prisons
- Profit!
The end goal is nothing more than that of leeches in a pond. Suck blood from the productive inhavitants of the pond.
It is not the leeches concern that too many leeches may kill all the fish. None of them individually have the power to affect that.
They simply have the power to leech. So they leech.
There is no end goal other than "accumulation". Any other externalities are, as Matt Christmas loves to say, a "YP" not an "MP".
Accounted for, private prison corporations have been brainstorming this for a while. Think of the possibilities for growth!
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
Cue the "Mom and pop landlords aren't always bad because I had a good experience with mine" comments from last month.
No see I only own one slave. Plantations are a whole other thing. I just bought a single slave at the same auction where they bought 10 with their slavery profits.
AKTUALLY most southern farmers only rented slaves from the big plantations. Totally a different thing.
Lmao wait is that a thing that people say, somehow I've missed that one
It was a real thing, according to encyclopedia.com about 20 percent of slaves in South Carolina were being rented every year by 1800 and the process was outlawed in 1845 based on a fear that slaves on smaller farms would get used to the relative freedom they had there. The average elsewhere was about 5%, so it was never more than a niche practice for a certain class of white landowner that couldn't afford to buy a slave but had enough land to benefit from hiring one temporarily.
None of this in any way detracts from how horrible an institution slavery was. (I don't feel like I need to say that on this site, but just in case)
I hit my limit on feeling horror about the physical abuses of slavery a long time ago, like after you hear how they transported slaves to the Americas in the first place every other horror is just like “yeah sounds about right”
Every time now I feel a new horror about slavery it’s because I hear something about how mundane it was. Like at the American history museum in DC (which is gross) there was a sign from a slave auction and it just proudly proclaimed something along the lines of “Our slaves never run away!” And the idea that you could just say that, with no reflection, is horrifying.
Every time now I feel a new horror about slavery it’s because I hear something about how mundane it was.
I get that with Nazi Germany
Literally I only rent ONE SLAVE out to people. Just ONE. I got that slave from my dad, I don't need them, I just rent them out to make a bit of extra money. Why is that such a bad thing???? Just because people can rent out 20% of slaves in South Carolina using the money they make from renting out one slave to buy more????
A company called Invest Idaho Management is probably not a mom and pop landlord.
What's the point you are trying to make? Mom and pop landlords aren't bad? Idaho Management not being one doesn't mean mom and pop landlords or business are not bad.
Why are you trying to put words into my mouth now? I didn't say any of that. I had a pretty simple point and I made it two posts ago.
there's literally one good landlord, he was an ex national squash champion, only housed students who wouldn't be buying anyway, he was very kind, he personally fixed things for tenants (and did a good job too), charged the lowest around for a pretty nice place, forgave bills if you really couldn't pay and also paid people to find new tenants when they moved out. miss ya paul
This sort of shit doesn't get included in eviction statistics, either.
Oops oh no, how did all these nails get flushed down my toilet. Dammit. Shoot.
Wow I wasn't counting on escaping to Boise but now it's really off the list
Boise and the rest of the treasure valley has been a bastion of white flight for nearly the last decade, people with hotdog necks and botox filled faces move here from Orange County with their 8 identical children named some variation of -adly or emily.
As soon as they enter the state they immediately buy a ugly ass cookie cutter home in Meriden and buy either a 50k truck or suburban based on who’s more dominant in the relationship. They spend most of their time either killing the environment burning gas in a traffic jam heading towards caldwell and meridian or in a Chick-fil-A drive through.
Fun activities for these invasive species includes screaming at servers at Boise area restaurants, pretending to be in a militia by buying a Glock and open carrying it, and most recently invading school board meetings to become their true sense of ID, a complete and total asshole.
I like Idaho and Boise, but we’ve become Mecca for the worlds shittiest white families who think California is some pink gulag for Liberty loving patriots who just want to wave the American flag and share Pinterest ideas about how to make thermonuclear gender reveal bombs to blow up in your local national park. At this rate I may have to move despite my roots here, southern Washington or Oregon might have to be home for in a couple of years.

Nice to see a fellow Idahoan!
But I gotta ask where the hell you were paying 700 dollars a month in rent? Everywhere I look it was in the 1000s range, cheapest I saw was at 900 waaay the fuck off the edge of Boise on heading towards Eagle.

This you or what's the source? I want to talk to the landlord on facebook but I don't want to out anyone.
WHen I was a student, if you were late paying rent, you were charged an extra £12.50 per day of the rent being late. It was whack.
