Is that the standard package they all receive? All of them? In every industry everywhere?
Let's calm down on the "everyone on a board of directors probably needs shooting" energy. There's am awful lot of medium size companies staffed by regular every day people for every fat cat evil corporate overlord. The guy with a 3yo Audi on a lease is not the same as the guy who has a driver for his Maybach.
The only reason that medium sized company exists is because it hasn't yet had the opportunity to grow into a behemoth, or it hasn't yet been taken over by one. But that's the goal of every firm, small, medium, or large: ever increasing profits, over all else, even over human well being. Some firms are just better at achieving that goal, often because they were first into an industry. These massive corporations didn't start out massive, they grew from much smaller firms. The executives at giant corporations aren't exceptionally evil, they've just demonstrated enough acumen for increasing profits to catch the eye of some giant corporation's board chair (that and maybe they both went to the same business school and play golf together). And since ever increasing profits is the goal of every firm, every firm has to try and capture as many markets as possible, and that means the small and medium sized firms will be captured eventually, unless they are able to grow into a massive corporation themselves.
You're more of a Reddit/Facebook kinda guy, you know.
Don't waste your effort. You see similar in every discussion on this site about landlords too. No nuance allowed.
The local guy renting out his late parents' home at below market rate is just as despicable as the slumlord lackeys of the investment companies that don't do any upkeep.
1 house for everyone before 2 house for any seems like easy math.
It is. But if the world and life were so simple we wouldn't have anywhere close to the amount of problems that exist.
Houses require maintenance over time, and there are people who need a place to live but can't afford sudden repair costs, which can be absorbed by a landlord. There are people who prefer not to own for a variety of reasons. Maybe they like being able to make repairs someone else's problem, or they like the freedom of being able to uproot and move easier.
I have an uncle that makes fucking bank doing contract work all over the place who falls into that last example.
I agree that everyone who wants a home should be able to have and keep one, but there are bigger fish to fry (CEOs to shoot?) before it's worthwhile to start in on smaller scale landlords etc.
The rich want us squabbling over differences of wealth at these lower levels. It helps distract people from the biggest offenders.
Where is the nuance in who a billionaire exploits for their wealth?
There is a clear difference between someone with 1-3 rentals and someone who owns half a town. Should there be landlords at all? No. Are the small scale ones evil? Probably not.
That being said, fuck it, god will sort them out. we need the energy this has brought up and I don't want to see a god damned thing tempering it.
It's not about nuance, it's just running defense.
Wouldn't bet on it.
There's a difference between tempering, and making sure the artillery is aimed at the most valuable targets.
We need this energy to stay pointed at the 1%, and to not get mixed up in the weeds. The last time we had energy like this was Occupy Wall Street, and the momentum was killed by attempting to expand the scope from the initial target of the 1%.
Very good points. Don't want to cause infighting.
It's the same problem with the same solution, parasite.
Nah fuck them, its fake internet points I dont give a shit.
Squeeze from the top down, not squeeze everyone with more than me. Thats the attitude that pushes the middle class to conservative voting and we can either advocate for sensible changes or scream into the void.
