  • My parent is also raised me to avoid alcohol, partying, and sex. Which is why I moved out at 17 and started living on my own terms. And I will absolutely never respect anyone who stays at home for money when their parents impose rules on them. If you’re an adult and your parents still phrase things in the imperative when they speak to you, you’re not actually an adult.





  • Yeah. Fuck it. Let’s blame immigrants. Any ol’ port in a storm to avoid acknowledging the role of commodified housing and bipartisan neoliberalism for forty fuckin years amirite?

    Supply and demand mean nothing in the market unless someone can use them as an excuse to price gouge. That goes dou ly for housing. Build hundreds of new units every month and rents still don’t fall, because landleeches know that “every seller in the market wants too much, I’ll do without until prices fall” isn’t a valid choice for housing.

    I read earlier today about a study that showed rents have gone down in areas that ICE has targeted.

    Go ahead and drop a link to that study here, we’ll all disembowel it for you and have a good laugh at how gullible you’d have to be to attribute it to fewer immigrants and not to the massive loss in desireability for a neighborhood where masked secret police are disappearing neighbors in the middle of the night.







  • it’s a mistake to conclude that every employer the world over is the same.

    Nah, that’s a 100% correct assessment. Every single employer is looking to exploit someone’s labor by paying them a fraction of the value they generate. That’s where your profit comes from.

    To that end, every employer will, to one degree or another, deliberately make their hiring process more difficult than it needs to be tonweed out anyone not sufficiently desperate to accept whatever ridiculous low-ball offer the employer intends to make.

    I get it, you didn’t invent capitalism or wage labor, but you’re sure as hell profiting from it. So pretending you’re doing the people you exploit a favor or that your time is more valuable than that of the people you exploit is more than just a little rich.
