When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?

  • Well aside from what I already mentioned, it's possible for the manufacturing of consent against socialized medicine to be halted out of fear leading to M4A finally being adopted. It's possible that this will lead to non-violent protests that agitate for change. Certain politicians might be able to leverage this in the near future to get a bill passed. It could happen that it'll lead to a sudden increase in community aid and health facilities accommodating such.

    I'm not saying what is and isn't likely to happen, all I'm saying is that we don't know. Anyone who thinks they know what will happen is an idiot or a liar, possibly both.

  • Owning a home isn't a job. If you hold onto a property and prevent the occupants from purchasing it because that makes you more money, then that makes you a parasite. Living off other people's paychecks.

  • There's a lot of did ways the situation could develop positively that doesn't involve more assassinations. Most likely, the industry pushes for legislation that disallows some of the scumier practices while allowing the bleed to continue.

  • This dude shot and killed a health insurance CEO. After about a day, insurers stopped denying coverage arbitrarily to people. The longer-term effects have not yet been seen, but I expect more to follow.

    Edit: bunch of people think it's wrong for me to say that we can't perfectly predict the future.
