  • I can't speak for OP but I think in general the idea that "landlords shouldn't exist" or whatever doesn't just stop at eliminating rentals. There is more than enough housing in the US to house everyone here (and probably the world? if not, there's enough resources to build housing for everyone), and it seems unjust to let people be homeless or exploit their need for shelter due to artificial scarcity.

    I like to think that most of us could agree that everyone deserves the dignity of having shelter regardless of what luck life has dealt them, even if we can't immediately agree on how.

  • ...what happened? I'd have to guess it immediately blew the fuse on the 110v circuit on the power supply and the computer shut off. I'd also guess that if you switched back to 220 it would still work? Unless the power supply divided the 220 in half and used the same 110v circuit...

  • This is honestly why I keep leaning further and further left. I have worked my ass off, and I have achieved a lot. I put myself through school and got a master's degree and have a decent career. I have an awesome partner and my kids are doing well.

    I grew up very poor. My parents were religious nut jobs resulting in a perfect combination of abuse and neglect. My first marriage was also abusive.

    I'm angry about what I've had to sacrifice and how hard I've had to work to overcome so many things that were completely out of my control. I'm also a white cis man in America. So, so many times people have said things to me about women, other races, LGBTQIA+, etc, as if it would be the default view, that there is no question that there is a ton of bigotry out in these systems. And then I think, what would the experience be of someone in one of these groups and otherwise a similar situation to mine? How much more would they have to sacrifice? How much harder would they have to work? Would they even ever be able to get as far as I have?

    This makes me even more angry, and I think this shit needs to change.
