  • If the market is adequately regulated they wont be shittier landlords. There somehow is this romantic idea of smaller scale landlords to be like the good old guy that want to help a family find a good place and accept a modest profit. They exist, but the majority are just equally cutthroat like large corpos. Difference is that large corps have more means to be strategic about it and accept risks like 5% of tenants suing successfully while the rest just accepts the illegal treatment.

  • The running costs are not only insurance costs. The insurance "crisis" e.g. entirely predictable results of climate change affects everyone and why would the tenants have to foot the increased risk of damage to their landlords property?

    Finally i doubt that it will just be swept up by actors like Blackrock. If the profit is limited due to the law, then the value of the property will reduce until equilibrium at which point each solvent market actor has equal opportunities. Because of the 10 Million property values now at 6 Million, the insurance rate will react accordingly.

  • That is an oxymoron. Israel is a fascist settler colonial empire. Like the Nazis expansion into the East for "Lebensraum" There can be no Israeli Lebensraum without first killing the people living there.

    The project cannot be finalized as long as Palestinians exist as a people, even if they are displaced. Especially not as long as the number of Palestinians alive remains significant.

    Look at the US genocide of the native Americans.

  • Note how there is worthy and unworthy victims?

    We get a detailed story about her to humanize and empathize with the Israeli victims. There is nothing wrong with that. However we do not get these kind of accounts for the tens of thousands of Palestinians murdered by Israel. We do not get these detailed accounts on how being raped and tortured in Israeli "administrative detention" aka Israeli hostageship destroys children, women and men.

    This strategy is used to justify the atrocities against the one group by dehumanizing them, while humanizing the group of the perpetrators. This is fascism in real time. And it will be the moral, political and ultimately human downfall of all of the allies of Israel.

  • Because it is victim blaming bullshit to justify the genocide against Palestinians. Whatever Hamas is doesn't justify the atrocities committed by Israel especially since Oct. 7 but also the Decades before. Did you know more than 500 Palestinians were murdered in the Westbank since Oct. 7? There is no Hamas there, but now that the Israeli fascists can get away with it, they enjoy their impunity as they murder, rape and pillage.

  • Isarel: Forcibly displaces people again, again and again, cramming them into less and less space.

    You: Why is Hamas surrounding itself with Civillians, that is so evil!!!

    Israel: Lets use aid trucks to bring our fighters in and slaughter random people. It is a clear warcrime to abuse humanitarian infrastructure to transport combatants, but who cares.

    You: Oh my gosh. They did so well with their war crimes. It is totally justified because i am closeted racist, so who cares about women and children being murdered if they aren't part of my group

  • That is bullshit. The reason why 90% of the Palestinians have a refugee status is because 90% of them were forcibly displaced by Israel. The few Palestinians that don't have a refugee status do so, because they were already living in Gaza or the few remaing parts of the occupied Westbank and East Jerusalem that weren't forcibly evicted and settled by Israeli terrorists yet.

  • They didn't calculate a fixed number. They adjust the numbers depending on what allows them to throw enough bombs that day. And if they get to distract or don't face political backlash over it, which we saw in the past months getting especially worse, with how the US, UK and Germany to maybe throw some words, but otherwise go hellbent on full support of their crimes.

    For all matters of reason the value of a Palestinian life to the Zionazis is 0. Heck we see them murdering women and children out of boredom. We see them counting how many women and children they murdered and bragging about it on Tiktok.

  • While i agree with the principal statement, this also requires two things to work:

    First: The scope should be defined properly, so people can contextualize what they are actually doing and reviewing.

    Second: If the scope is subject to change, or parts of it are unclear, there needs to be room to consider, develop and try different variants

    This is were good management is crucial, which includes giving breathing room at the start. What we tend to experience is the expectation of already good detailed results, that can be finalized but still work if things change significantly.

  • Gradual shifts can snowball into huge shifts. a few years ago Linux gaming only existed for the dedicated crowd, that somehow managed to make it work. Now for many it is no different from their Windows experience for most games, sometimes even better.

    Think of it like bubbles pressing against each other. It matters not only how much pressure your own bubble has, but also how much pressure the other bubbles have in finding the equilibrium. The Windows bubble isn't only weakening itself, the Linux bubble is getting stronger and stronger

  • Meanwhile the German "center" and "center left" are actively doing everything to push more far right extremism. Following their racist tropes, spreading lies about immigrants. Increasing police violence and general authoritarianism. Employing austerity measures throwing entire city-districts into poverty while wanting to cut the income tax for the highest tax brackets and refusing to implement a wealth tax.

    DW as the government run foreign media of Germany is incredibly rich to deflect from their normalizing fascism in Germany by pointing at other countries. This is not to defend Hungary or Italy. It is to clear up about the motives and actors here, which is a political class in Germany once again enabling fascism instead of fighting it, using minorities for virtue signaling, while actively bringing on their demise.

  • The Pier took 2 months to build. It took two weeks to repair. So claiming this to be an "insanely short time span" is already wrong. And it is not enough. The US would need to build another 5 of the same piers to bring in enough aid on that route, ignoring the need to distribute it, which Israel again is blocking. So would you rather build piers for ten months instead of stopping to send arms to the people who block the available land routes?

  • You are either completely unknowledgable about the situation there or arguing in bad faith. But giving you the benefit of the doubt. There is more than enough aid waiting since months just outside the borders. Israel took over the Rafah crossing to Egypt, murdering two Egyptian soldiers in the process. There also enough aid is waiting.

    By stopping to arm Israel the US might not provide food literally tomorrow, but within short time. That pier took over two months to build. More than enough time for the US to pressure Israel into behaving.

    Again Israel could let in aid today if they wanted to. They could stop bombing hospitals, ambulances, aid workers, refugee shelters right now if they wanted to. The US could make them want that. And if simply cutting weapons wouldnt be enough the US could declare a no fly zone and break Israels chokeholds on the border crossings by force if necessary. The US could threaten and employ a sanctions regime that would threaten to vaporize the Israeli economy, making any government resign within days.

    But the US doesnt do that. The US doesnt want that. The US wants to cover for this genocide and just pretend doing something about it, which is why they build an expensive pier for months that doesnt deliver aid and then breaks apart, while watching the single attempted aid delivery to be denied by the Israeli genocidal forces.
