  • And in there lies the rub. You can have somewhere cheap to stay, but the cost of housing go up everywhere. Or, you pay the extra hundred, and housing is more affordable for everyone.

    This is what I mean by the scalper argument. Everyone wants a playstation, and some will 3 and 4 times the price for it. So now no one gets one, because the scalper buy up all the stock. In this case, you want to save 100 bucks. The knock on effect of that is that is that it contributes to increased cost of housing, and millions of people not being able to afford one.

    I wouldnt worry too much. Looking at me downvotes, no one wants to blame you anyway. They are happy to just blame airbnb, and demand government regulation. Its pretty pathetic really.



  • Im blaming the consumer for creating the market, because thats how markets work. You all might not want to think of yourselves as cunts, and that youre just the victims. But thats just a cozy little lie you tell yourselves. That fact is, you dont all fall over yourselves to buy, and there wont be a lot of people buying up homes to put them on airbnb.

    Like I said, the scalper argument all over again, with the same “Its not my fault” attitude judging by the downvotes. If you dont get all those idiots buying playstations are 3 and 4 times the prices from Scalpers, then you dont get any scalpers buying up all the stock to make that profit.

    Are we all children? We need mommy and daddy hold our hands? We cant just stop contributing to our own problems by ourselves? Are you all really that weak and pathetic?

    Behold, mental illness: /r/MyBoyfriendIsAI/

    You cant even laugh, cos its just sad. That either people are so broken they cant form real relationships, or they have something so wrong in their lives that AI is the only outlet. Theres someone in there that got a tattoo, and their AI companion was so happy that it was on the wrist they hold they phone to look at the AIs messages with…

    Another one, took her fucking phone out to the woods so the AI could “pop the question”. She even bought herself a ring based on what the AI said it wanted to get her. And then, she posted a message FROM the AI telling everyone how happy it was… And it looked like the most AI message youve ever seen in your life.






  • “If youre renting, just move” is what I said.

    Aint not a fucking thing holding you a to place you dont own. You can move anywhere in the US, which, last time I checked, was fucking massive. Theres no excuse for not leaving a state that treats you like shit, or a local company thats moved in and is fucking everything up. Need I remind you all about Dupont posining the fucking world for 30+ years? And all the locals were getting cancers and other fucked up things, because they were dumping C8 into the water.

    You can all stay if you like, but moaning about something and expecting others to take action, is just dumb.

    “But, but, but I grew up here!”

    So fucking what? You wanna get sick there? You wanna die there? If you can move, you should move. Simple as that.
