If we’re going to have a made up system with no rules, it might as well be well ordered.
No, it doesn’t. Whoever says psychopath is speaking Greek. They should stop that and speak a language they understand.
Psychopath doesn’t mean anything in Latin.
Lots of homeless people have cars. Often, they live in them. That said, it would be better for them to get to work by walking, cycling, or using public transportation.
Retail stores are dying because of cars. Every time the data shows: parking spaces decrease business, bike lanes and train stations increase it.
Stores are failing because the land they’re on isn’t useful. Cars have poisoned it.
You’re comparing apples and oranges. The apples being the capitalist housing market, and the oranges being the entire housing economy. Across the entire housing economy, demand is the same. It’s just that more of the demand is being met by socialised supply. So no, in terms of the entire housing supply, this proposal doesn’t limit demand.
Their “issue” is that they think it doesn’t benefit them personally, and they think everything ought to be about them.
You mean like it bankrupted the Soviet Union when they built all that public housing?
Qui-Gon explained it best:
You and the Naboo form a symbiont circle. What happens to one of you will affect the other. You must understand this.
When more homeless people are in public housing, there’s less demand for rentals.
When there’s less demand for rentals, competition falls and rents fall too.
When rents are low, landlording becomes less profitable.
When landlording isn’t profitable, investors move their stock to higher growth assets.
When investors sell their houses, the price to buy a house falls.
To put this in simple terms: a rising tide lifts all ships. Housing the homeless improves the lives of everyone except landlords and billionaires.
The soulists want to abolish gravity and make the laws of physics into suggestions. The flat earthers think Newtonian physics are a conspiracy by the government to hide the truth.
Any example of an apolitical thing you can give, I can explain why it’s political.
Things like the abolition of capitalism aren’t serious business because they’re political. They’re serious business because they have huge consequences. You’re missing the reason they matter, and that’s a problem we can solve by admitting everything is political.
Firadin explained how banning politics hurts trans people. Everything is politics, and everyone is part of everything. Everyone’s identity is political. Trans people’s existence is political, and that means you need to be okay with politics. It’s part of being pro trans rights.
Who on earth uses a lemmy.blahaj.zone account to spout that kind of transphobic nonsense?
No it shouldn’t, it’s a shit name. It means suffering soul. If we mean people with ASPD, let’s speak English.
I vote we take away the power of the word psychopath by using it to refer to ALL mental illnesses and disorders. And if someone says psychopath when they mean ASPD, we tell them to speak English.
The word psychopath comes from the Greek words psyche, meaning soul, and pathos, meaning suffering. So in Greek, psychopath means suffering soul.
What a shit name.
Fortunately, English speaking doctors invented a better name. Antisocial personality disorder.
Everything is political. You guys should remove every single post in this community or you’re hypocrites
Your dad thinks that people earn money by working for it. In other words, he’s what would be a normal person in a socialist society.
All you have to do now is teach him what capitalism is.
What’s this nonsense? Why don’t you just say “they” like a normal person?
