This is a nation of convicts who aspires to become wardens.

I don’t have an issue with people owning multiple properties, but doing so should be subservient to the provision of a core component of subsistence.

A broad proposal I’ve been mulling is the realisation of profit anywhere in the real estate industry (construction, (re)development, ownership, management, etc.) should only be tolerated contingent to the size of the social housing wait list.

As a broad example, if the wait list is over a year, tax any profit above 5% at 50%. The figures are arbitrary, the point is to make it the responsibility of the group to fix the problem they’ve caused.

Clearly this is from the pasta mines. They needed child labour to extract from the tight spaces where the rich veins were under Italy.

Advertising needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.

It indiscriminately pollutes whatever environment it’s conducted within, and causes secondary harm to non-participants by incentivising hoarding of PII in the cheapest and least secure manner.

One could enhance it into an art installation with thermite.

It’s not an internet thing, or even a technology thing. This is an example of the general debasement of society wrought through half a century of rampant sociopathic neoliberal shitfuckery.

One place I’d like to see this start to be corrected, is treating what is currently understood to be intellectual property as the intrinsically abundant resource it is, instead of the artificially scarce, zero-sum concept it’s currently encrusted as.

I’d posit both statements are true and fundamentally complimentary.

A broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.

I’ve kept my account because it’s a sought after username. Deleting it would allow some grifter to take it over. It also predates both Elmo’s and the original Twitter accounts.

I’ve not posted anything under it since the third party apps were blocked.
