That's nice that you found a place to stay after traveling the world, that you found some personal benefit from a system that leaves more than half a million people without proper housing (at least in the US). What does that have to do with anything that I wrote?
This sort of landlord apologia isn't necessary and is actually harmful to the reputation of landlords like your parents, the OP's aunt, and their beneficiaries. You even managed to sneak some resentment towards tenants in there. Maybe after expenses the rental income was disappointing to them sometimes, but at the end of the day your parents owned other people's homes. Just be conscious of your station and have some quiet dignity about it.
Don't take it personally, but landlordism is fundamentally parasitism. It's a matter of fact that private property, whether it's a townhouse or a factory, enables its owners to extract value from working people. If people personally resent landlords like your aunt, it's probably not so much because that's where the theory guides them as it is that almost everyone has had a bad experience with a landlord or knows someone who did. Landlords have earned a bad reputation.
It was a pleasant experience for me here in NJ. The building had WiFi and a quiet area with desks for anyone who wanted or needed to get some work done. The staff ran a tight ship, but they were friendly about it. It was very easy to get dismissed for various reasons, which is what happened to me. I'm glad I wasn't because it was a murder trial with a young defendant, which would have been a bummer.
Yes, thank you, I think I am IRL. But I'm giggling to myself imagining an indecent scenario in which President Trump asks Hunter, as he's about to sign the pardon, "who's your daddy?".
If it were me I would absolutely pardon my rival's son as both a matter of class solidarity and also to rub his nose in the fact that he's being a shitty father.
Well, I'm pretty sure they're not yellow jackets. Those and bald faced hornets are ones to fear around here. Other wasps and bees are usually pretty chill in comparison. Fortunately, there's no danger to me in squishing some pupae; just yucky.
Maybe the dads are supposed to work double shifts.
I think even just getting rid of at-will employment for expectant parents and people with dependents would provide safe incentive for having more kids.
How does threatening women with forced hysterectomies even make sense? Is the solution to increase birthrates not as simple as implementing policies that just make having a family easier, like better job security and shorter work days/weeks/years?
