  1. Such legalized crime. So sad. I wish more families knew how their money was really being spent when they send their loved ones to these places thinking they're going to get a high standard of care because they're one of the better ones. For-profit care facilities should not be legal. It attracts psychopaths who do nothing but cause incredible harm to their vulnerable guests and patience and pocket millions collectively for their efforts. It's legalized plunder.

  2. The majority of people have been cheated in this country. Not all, but most. By paying shit wages employers have gotten away with stealing the vast majority of the fruits that workers produce. And then they have the gall to say they earned it. The majority of business in this country has always been a swindle. It's nothing but a softer form of feudalism. I appreciate that some founders do work hard and do risk some money to start up a new business venture, but that doesn't entitle them to all of the profits in perpetuity, just some. We need a huge value shift in this country. It starts with declaring that everyone matters not just elites, and LABOR deserves empowerment and reward. We need a labor movement NOW more than ever. The large majority of people in this country are either barely getting by, slightly comfortable, or very poor and why? Well there's a combination but chief among them are terrible wages, no labor laws that matter, a devaluation and soft enslavement of Labor in general and refusal of these scum who hold political office to pass national healthcare. Everyday I become redder and redder (ie communist) and I couldn't be more proud of myself. There's MORE than enough to go around- but if we let the elites take all of it what does that say about us? Should a given economy work for everyone or just the top 10% who are fortunate enough to win the birth lottery or to get really lucky??? There's room for everyone to have their own little bit of wealth and for some groups to have a bit more than others, but nowhere should there be an elite class that is hoarding obscene amounts. Nowhere. I know my values, principles, laws and policies would fix everything but will I ever get a chance to push my agenda? I don't know - I'll try but I doubt the forces united against me will allow me to get very far. My vision is simple - an excellent quality of life for everyone. It could be done easily. You control the elites, and you control big business. You provide enough support through government programs and you control the private sector so that everyone gets what they need. If they want more they can work for it but they'll always have enough to keep a roof over their head, decent food in their fridge, and a modest amount of creature comforts to ensure enjoyment. It's actually extremely easy but when government is owned and operated by and caters to the infinitely rapacious 2% elite, everything gets thrown out of balance and the bottom 2/3 are thrown on the sacrificial altar for that top 2%. It doesn't have to be this way. No one deserves to be sacrificed for the greed of anyone else, that is my first human rights and economic principle!! NO ONE! My second is that anyone who would seek public office has a moral duty to put the general welfare of the general public first and foremost over their own selfish petty concerns and over anything that a special interest or an elite person would demand. My third is that giving a shit about others is a virtue and a privilege. If we all have a little bit of regard for others in our community and they do the same for us, that is a lot healthier and more enlightened of a society then that where the opposite is true. Neoliberalism tells us that we all should be happy to sacrifice ourselves for a dollar. That's not my value system. Money makes a good servant but a rotten master.

  3. They truly are shacks barely papered over. And people fall for it I don't get it. As soon as the wind huffs and puffs it'll all get blown down, figuratively speaking. I wish buyers were more aware or cared more about their bottom line. If I had those kind of means I sure as hell wouldn't let myself be kind by shady builders giving me warmed over shit in a gilded package.

  4. If this isn't a massive criminal racket and an incredible crime against the vulnerable I don't know what it is. People should get 10-15 years minimum if found guilty of such a scheme.

  5. SNFs should ALWAYS be publicly funded and publicly run as part of a broader comprehensive full national public healthcare system. Clearly there seems to be nobody in the private sector who has morals and is willing to provide the proper level of care that staff and patients require for a dignified and acceptable existence.

  6. Towns should know better than to trust a crooked corporation. Common sense. Lol it's sad. There are legitimate companies out there and if they fail to deliver on their promises, then literally just take them to court. Good god.

  7.  @junkequation  you were correct until the end... the majority of wages are not very livable right now when you take into account the inflexible cost of living, ie not lifestyle spending that can be curtailed at will. We do live in a Land of huge abundance and plenty and that's why it's a crime against humanity that we have any poverty at all! It's being hoarded buy those at the top or wasted through poor policies throughout the supply chain. We don't have a production issue, we have a distribution issue. Unfortunately you can't see the big picture the way I can. It takes massive change in laws and public policy to do the redistribution necessary and put the labor laws in place and the rent control in place and the cost of living limitations in place to stop the runaway extraction that at the moment is only making the very rich richer and the poor and precarious, poorer. Because right now the top 2% has run away with near everything, and the laws have allowed them to do so because frankly they have bought the laws, it's that simple. Of course there's still the middle class with its varying degrees, that hasn't gone anywhere yet, but the problem is a good 2/3 in this country are not making it; barely making it, or very precarious where just one setback that isn't immediately resolved could start them on a negative self-reinforcing downward spiral. If we lived in a civilized country that wouldn't happen. You're falling for the personal responsibility mantra- it's a con. Sure sure sure we can all do better , we can all make smarter choices that goes without saying, but it really comes down to public policy. Without hardcore changes in laws to at least move us in a strong socially Democratic direction, more and more people's lives will be seen as not worthy, expendable, easy sacrifices to be thrown on the altar of greed of those at the top. I can post a follow-up reply where I try to summarize all my points in brief bullet format of what needs to be done by LAW to ensure prosperity for all for the foreseeable future. I wish you were correct I wish all it took was changes in our individual atomized personal habits, but while there's a place for those, it's not going to solve the systemic issues that start at the very top. I'll post more- just stay tuned.

  9. 100% Some luxury housing is actually very nice, but by and large they're just slapping that label on everything now. It's such bullshit. They're passing off trash as luxury it's amazing. I guess they think people are too desperate or don't have eyes or don't trust their lying eyes.

  12. This is exactly what an ignorant Boomer would say. I completely disagree and all those parties you mentioned ARE the reason that the bottom 70% in this country are just one wrong move or one act completely outside of their control from possible ruin. There is a massive systemic issue and I don't know why you have blinders on. Do you have an inability to see the truth? Is it more palatable to you to see those who aren't swimming in money as an individual responsibility issue and not a systemic governmental policy issue? And if so, why??

  15.  @edhcb9359  he's better than you I'd wager. So only business owners deserve wealth and prosperity? Wow you've bought the BS too I see. Madness.

  16. No. And by the brilliance of that concise explanation surely by now you're convinced. Allow me to rephrase. Um.... nO. Look I'm in general very supportive of business but if you think workers are something that can be screwed around with I don't know what to tell you. You're just wrong. I don't know if you're independently wealthy or if you own your own business but God damn we're all workers out here! These aren't robots you're talking about. These are our lives. Jesus man. FUCK free market nonsense. Labor always comes first! WE DO THE WORK!!!! That includes the thinking and the elbow grease. The c-suite doesn't do shit! Why do you support shareholders and not the people who do the work!? I'm honestly curious. I mean were you born into wealth because your attitude seems to indicate a disconnect from having to work for a living. Labor should be first and foremost. Without it we all suffer- the only people who profit is a narrow elite class of moneysuckers. Of course businesses need to make a profit but you're acting like businesses can't profit unless they have their own slaves? Analyze yourself.

  17. You forget that workers are human beings, and as such, deserve the (almost) full return of their labor. You are denying workers their justice by this kind of attitude. You must come from wealth. Otherwise why would you default to this attitude that justifies worker use and abuse? You can't justify soft slavery! Do you want to be a good person or not? Would you want to run a business that used to child labor? Exploited labor? If so you're not a good person. You seem to forget that workers are human fkg beings like you and me. I am a WORKER. I AM ALSO A HUMAN BEING WITH RIGHTS. People that default your attitude to seem to not understand this. Why? Don't you want to do right by your fellow citizens? Wouldn't you feel better if you knew that everyone was getting their fair share??

  21.  @meee2014  fair enough but clearly private equity is siphoning off the vast majority of the resources that patients and nursing care workers need. If that's not theft I don't know what is.

  22.  @meee2014  do you work in PE?

  23. All private equity should be illegal. This is mass grand theft and robber baron-ism on an industrial scale. The amorality is beyond compare. This is criminal and those responsible should be in prison. I knew it was shameful but I didn't know it was this bad .

  26. Here's a pro tip: if local municipalities hate having homeless in their locality so much here's an idea, mandate that financially accessible housing is a human fucking RIGHT, because it IS. You can't set the minimum limit at $2000+ when a statistically significant portion of residents barely earns that in a month!!! Not every household has multiple income earners letting alone those on fixed income or benefits. All rent should be income-based outside of genuine elite properties (there are some that actually are). I set my limit at no more than 15 or 20% of a tenant's income up to a local set maximum. The legal maximum to the tenant will be whichever is lower. THIS IS HOW YOU GUARANTEE EVERYONE HAS A MOTHERFUKING HOME. Actual rental protections Actual homeowner protections Or maybe we can all just ve grist for the mill of wall street demons. HIGH RENT SHOULD BE SEEN AS A CRIME BECAUSE IT IS- IT'S A CRIME AGAINST MY HUMANITY AND MY SECURITY!!!!!!!! And yours! AND IT'S A FORM OF FINANCIAL SLAVERY. It's a form of grand theft- because instead of saving or living on that money I have to give it to a POS who didn't work for it. Fair rent is fine. High rent is not. PREDATORY LANDLORDING AND SHOULD BE SEEN AS A PERNICIOUS CRIME THAT ROTS OUR SOCIETY- BECAUSE IT DOES! Nobody outside of college age is going to live ten people to a motherfucking two-bedroom, and if that's what policymakers THINK we should do they can off themselves NOW. Everybody has the right to afford a reasonable, non-luxurious functional space to themselves well within their budget!!!!!! The day livable accessible housing exists for everyone is the day local homeless populations disappear. Not quite entirely, because there are other causes of homelessness, but to a very large degree. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE DEMONS WHO SIT IN OUR ELECTED CHAIRS KNOW FULL WELL THEY ARE CREATING THE PROBLEM AND YET CHOOSE TO PUNISH THOSE WHO ARE THE VICTIMS OF IT. It's almost as if they love evil. I'd say the Right is always worse, but Dems do this as well. Central, regional or local, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter which party, they're both trash. I'm just tired of living under enemies. I deserve better than that and so do you. I've delineated some proper attitudes and actions in response in other comments.

  27. For-profit care facilities should not be legal. It attracts these financial psychopaths who do nothing but cause incredible harm to vulnerable guests and patients, not to mention staff, while pocketing millions. It's legalized plunder, medical negligence and worker abuse. It's evil, but so are our politicians, which it's why this can happen.

  29. Ah, a liar. That's right let's just profiteer ourselves all into an early grave. Oh wait we already are. What a great way to run society You're either a slave or a moron. Which is it?

  30. (While the entire issue sucks and is entirely man-made and can be entirely fixed with simple changes if it weren't for our trash political class, if I could just briefly make a social commentary-) As far as the part of the issue regarding municipal governments desiring on average higher home values because that leads to higher property taxes I say this; (and thus are presumably hostile to the proliferation of smaller size and lower-valued homes that could be built much more cheaply and go a long way to providing everyone with a positive desirable affordable home;)- And while I don't have a ton of sympathy for homeowners with net worth of 1M+, however; As a principle, the truth is as I see it, that residential and land property taxes are WRONG and unacceptable. Absolutely morally wrong- for every obvious moral reason- and we shouldn't be basing any housing-related public policy on the practice of collecting property taxes!! THERE ARE OTHER SOURCES OF PUBLIC REVENUE! RIDDLE ME THIS- WHY SHOULD ANYONE HAVE TO PAY THEIR LOCAL LORD OR GANG OF LORDS FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF NOT HAVING THEIR HOME TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM ON A WHIM?!? THE HOME THEY WORKED FOR, THEY EARNED, THEY BLED FOR!!!! THE HOME THEY OWN. TO WHOM AND WHY DO I OWE A PORTION OF MY BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS THAT I WORKED FOR REGARDING MY ONE AND ONLY FAMILY HOME???? IS THERE A GANGSTER I FORGOT I HAVE TO PAY OFF FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF LIVING IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD SO HE DOESN'T COME BREAK LEGS???? IS THAT IT!?!?! Business taxes I can understand, residential property taxes, NO. THOSE ARE THEFT. THEY ARE VIOLENTLY TAKEN UNDER THE THREAT OF EVEN MORE VIOLENCE. THEY ARE WRONG. They are doubly evil that they used as a tool to take your home for debt collection. To uproot and even destroy your life in the short- or long-term. DEBT COLLECTION SHOULD NEVER RESULT IN THIS KIND OF ABUSE! IF ONE IS CURRENT OR RECENT ON THEIR MORTGAGE THAN THEIR HOME SHOULD BE SACROSANCT!! THAT IS ALL THE VAST MAJORITY OF US WILL EVER HAVE!!!! Will someone kindly explain to me how and when this criminal process of home seizure got started!!? AND WHY DO WE STILL DO IT??? WHY DO WE ACCEPT THIS!?! Because it's very wrong. IT IMPLIES THAT PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERSHIP NEVER FULLY PROTECTS US FROM A PLUNDERING OUTSIDE FORCE. NOW I KNOW THAT'S WRONG. A government gang is hardly better than a criminal; why work for something when you can just steal it right!?!? The way of the gun, is that it!? Just because someone is in arrears of a modest amount of tax or any other debt does not entitle ANYONE to commit grand theft and gross eviction on an OWNED PROPERTY. It doesn't matter the remainder is returned after the sale; the whole process is criminal. Some things are just wrong. HOW has this become normalized?!? Or are we so used to gross evil and US State violence we no longer blink an eye? It shouldn't matter WHAT average local home values are regarding tax collection purposes because residential property and land taxes SHOULD NOT EXIST! They should not be used as a source of judgment regarding any type of negative policy towards the proliferation of homes evolve varieties at all income levels. Everyone deserves a safe affordable home- from size tiny to very large if that's what they can afford. So let's be clear - YOU DON'T OWE ANYONE A KICKBACK FOR THE RIGHT TO OWN LAND OR PROPERTY ON THIS PLANET !!!!? LET'S GET IT THROUGH ALL OF OUR THICK HEADS RIGHT FKG NOW!! PROPERTY/LAND TAXES AND PLAY THAT YOU NEVER TRULY OWN ANYTHING AND YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR LORD FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING YOUR OWN MASTER!! FALL BEHIND A FEW MONTHS AND FORGET IT THEY GET TO TAKE WHAT IS YOURS, AND CLAIM THIS IS RIGHT. THE FUCK IT IS!!!!!!!!! If you bought land or a home fair and square from a seller or a bank, you don't owe anyone one red cent on top of that!!!! IT'S YOURS UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO GIVE IT AWAY OR SELL IT. THAT'S WHAT PRIVATE PROPERTY MEANS! WHERE THE HELL ARE THE PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS IN THIS COUNTRY GOD DAMMIT!?!?? THERE ARE A THOUSAND OTHER BETTER AND ETHICAL WAYS TO COLLECT PUBLIC MONEY THAN VIOLATING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. I still can't believe any of this is "legal". You never truly free in this country if Big Brother demands residential property taxes. A man's home / land is his castle the one place he can be truly free on earth. So long as he's not harming anyone else (or animals) he has the right to live as he see fits and owes no one obsequious obeisance, or money!!!!!! SO WHILE I CERTAINLY SUPPORT A ROBUST PUBLIC SECTOR, NOT THIS WAY!! BIG BROTHER NEEDS TO GET FUCKED AND GET OFF MY PROPERTY, AND YOURS!!! I get so angry just thinking about it. Look I love to support my local community in so far as my personal means world would allow but not this way!!!! Other ways yes, but not this way!! OTHER taxes, but not this. Wanting higher property taxes from a municipal district has got to be one of the grossest objections to the human right to afford a home of one's exact choosing and financial ability therefore like all the other shameful objections, it must be shown the full contempt it deserves and rejected. As always, our twin enemies remain local/state government thugs and Wall Street/big business. Talk about getting nailed at both ends. As always, a match made in hell which, as ALWAYS, serves to fuck over the lower 80%. [The top 20% will always be okay no matter what's happening in the public sector. They are not relevant to this discussion. It's the rest of us who matter here.] A human being has the RIGHT to live in any type of home or dwelling they so choose, insofar as they keep it within their own designated private property boundaries and commit no harmful behavior on it; whether at the high, middle, or low end of the value scale; the fact that ANY local or regional government groups would oppose this shows their true degeneracy and moral bankruptcy. As always, government filth only want to serve the rich. The bribes and favors are just better. We have to show them that we matter too. They aren't the only foe in this fight, but they ARE a big one. I'd be shocked if I came across any local municipal and County governments that are openly and aggressively favorable towards affordable rental housing and affordable homeownership of homes of all sizes and styles. I live in Southern California and haven't seen it yet. If someone thinks I'm overlooking something by all means please enlighten me. If I'm overlooking a few bright spots of progress, please correct me. SO THE FIGHT FOR HOUSING JUSTICE AND RENTAL JUSTICE CONTINUES DOESN'T IT. fucking hell. The vultures continue attacking and we have no choice but to continue to fight for OUR RIGHTS to live well and above all, affordably and with dignity and stability. (the end)

  31. ​​ @thedude5040  just because someone has a housing voucher doesn't mean they're not a normal human being with the same rights as you. What makes you so special? Why are we judging people based on their income anyway? You think there aren't trash rich people? I've met people on the street who had hearts of gold and were more or less normal, just going through a tough time, and I've known people of great means whom I wouldn't want to spend one more minute with. Pretty ignorant to prejudice someone just because of their income.. it literally has nothing to do with who they are. It just means they're either on benefits because of a disability or age or don't work a high income job. If all jobs paid well and comfortably and then I guess no one would need a housing voucher now would they? So it's not the person's fault is it, it's the system as always! So please, put the blame where it belongs... Same thing for proper rent levels. Nobody should be getting ripped off out here; rent should be a fair function of one's income (up to certain local maximums), not one penny more. Why do you feel the need to feel superior to others? You shouldn't.

  32. Yes it's crooked and needs to be made illegal. Not like that label means anything anyway anymore. It's a joke. We have shoddy quick built housing passing itself off as high-quality. It's a big scam.

  33. I mean technically, the slaveowners were job creators too, but I wouldn't call those jobs they created very desirable. I don't think that the workers forced to work in these jobs felt very blessed by the creation of such. So simply calling someone a job creator alone to me it says nothing and shouldn't be seen as a positive. What KIND of a job are they creating?, should be the more germaine question.

  34. Nobody should have to be bled dry by a landlord just to survive. This is definitely an extreme felonious crime and until it is recognized as such we're all going to be at risk. This is really what gets me after everything. That anyone thinks these bloodsuckers have the right to suck you dry just to not starve or camp on a sidewalk is a wild never-ending mindfuck to me. But I guess that's what happens when demons rule; when all wages are compared to pocket lint and deemed acceptable. Unless you're in that top 20% bracket you're probably struggling affording one or more of your basic needs right now. Anyone who thinks this is the right way is a sociopath or a cult victim. My temporary housing costs are bankrupting me right now. I'm working on alternate plans and options, but it's a big problem. I need to act fast because it's not sustainable. Of course if it's not housing, it's medical needs. The unholy union of government and Wall Street in this s-hole third world country is going to fuck you one way or another. They're going to get you either coming or going. Which is fun, no?? If you don't die in debt you'll die flat broke- welcome to today's America!!!!! It's called usury, penury, peonage and modern slavery. 80% of incomes are not wealthy. We're either just getting by or somewhere in the middle (or possibly already on the street) How did we get to here?? Policy-wise I mean?? Well speaking generally more or less it's always been like this to some degree... Exploitation and enforced poverty is baked into the evil system from the start. Comfortable modest homes and comfortable reasonably-sized standard apartments shouldn't come at the price of a trip to Mars. I just want to know how we got here Modern pseudo-slavery takes many forms- rental slavery chief among them. For the record - fair rent is fine (although I support free housing when appropriate), high rent is NOT. Fair is anything under 20% of my take-home, up to a local set maximum (set by an independent board of analysts with local citizen input). The tenant will pay whichever is less. AND THAT'S THAT. We could be debt slaves, rent slaves, and (excessive) work slaves forever or we could unite and make a change. People deserve better.

  44. I don't mean to keep belaboring the same point and saying the same thing over and over again it's just really bothering me today. I understand why the business ruling class is a psychopath but I guess I'm still somehow taken aback by the fact our ENTIRE elected political class hates us and wants us dead. Local, regional, state or congress - all the same. Im pretty sure they want us all dead or in a prison cage. Otherwise, why would they be going out of their way to try to destroy most of us by making sure we can't afford to live, even if we live like a flagellating monk? Depopulation agenda at work? I think so. I suppose they feel that we are all expendable and they hate humanity. Otherwise they would be working hard to regulate us out this mess and guarantee a basic humane standard of living to all citizens. Nothing luxurious just very basic but reasonable. Proper housing, clean water, public transport, public ed, healthcare, youth support, childcare, elderly support, etc. Job rights and Labor rights. I sure wish politicians weren't strange freaks who hate us because WITHOUT public policy change I'm not sure the way out of this. They are intentionally making survival impossible and then criminalizing those who have to break the rules usually in extremely minor ways just to survive. My only question, is why. Why do they hate humanity so much??? Why don't they want to do better??? Why won't they respect an inherent human beings right to survive and live with basic dignity?? Why are they full of hate? Why do they want to take on the devil's agenda? I would put these questions to every mainstream politician from main street up to Wall Street up to 1600 Penn right now. I'm honestly academically curious about the answer- Because I mean this is just insanity for Insanity's sake. Price the bottom 2/3 out of survival- then watch what happens?? what is this like some kind of gross way they get their jollies?? Anyone else's theories are as good as mine. Just wondering why we can't get some humanity into public policy in this country.. Most people just want to survive and live simply and save a little for a rainy day. Just enough to be modestly comfortable nothing more. Its the minority that has huge material appetites. Why can't this be allowed???? I'm just goddamn curious. I've seen it get worse almost every day of my life for the past 44 years... Keep waiting to reach that inflection point. I mean people are fired for giving bags of donuts to homeless that would otherwise be put in the trash why is moral depravity racing like a virus throughout our society today??? I mean I could go on and on about this... Where is our conscience? I mean it is an honor to serve our communities in whatever way we can and treat our employees with respect, so everyone wins. WHY ARE THINGS SO UPSIDE DOWN THAT THIS IS FOREIGN? Sometimes I'm just rather at a loss to understand the intentional sociopathy, like today. I bet everyone who has a story of workplace abuse or exploitation, or being jerked around by their medical insurance company. That isn't okay. Can't we do better by each other?!?! Or are we all just a bunch of savages???? Corporations are killing us all out here; boy oh boy are they out of control. Madness. Why our political class wants to aggressively enforce their complete rule to crazy extents is beyond me. I mean I know they get paid for it but come on.... Even those crazies have to know it's not sustainable. Nobody should have to voluntarily accept violent corporate rule in every or ANY area of their life. We all deserve better. by all means enjoy your iPhone or android but those are not absolute necessities, they are commodities; you have a choice to consume them. But Wall Street and other exploiters wants to totally dominate all of our necessities as well. The politicos seemed only too happy to help them. Sure hope in my lifetime things can change. All of this is wrong. I'm not against private business but I am against unregulated big business.
