  1. And when you own 200 houses. On paper. It makes more sense to keep half those houses empty. To artificially increase demand which increases the "value" of each property. Definitely a cool a normal thing to do in a society That doesn't care if everyone has access to basic shelter.

  2. The largest landlord in the U.K is the literal king and they are vexed why housing in the U.K is perpetually buggered.

  3. ​@jimbojimbo6873Your access to the basic necessities of life are artificially and perniciously paywalled to make a few already wealthy people slightly richer. You not being able to imagine anything better than that for the society you live in is peak serf mentality.

  4. A lesson the U.K learns the hard way over and over again since at least 1700

  5. You can't guilt people who have no shame. Woke is done specifically to keep the rabble from focusing on economic issues.

  8. Alone you are powerless. That's why you taught individualism so much. It makes you much easier to exploit. Organize with your fellow poors or you be condemned to poverty for the rest of your life.

  9. ​ @shahankhan7685 the middle class doesn't actually exist. You are either 3 months of no pay away from crippling poverty. Or you own so many real estate properties you've never bothered to see them all.

  10. The U.K's largest landlord is their literal king. So I doubt the U.K workers(serfs) are going to come together against their king and literal lords.

  11. Chinese government. Do nothing. Keep winning. Western governments. Do nothing. Keep losing.

  12. How could a nation where the literal king gets their position through birthright possibly consider itself meritocratic?

  13. The game goes on until the board is overthrown. Something the Brits haven't done for several centuries.

  14.  @sprinkle61  the largest landlord in the U.K is the literal king. Of course housing is a political issue. The U.K still hasn't stopped doing feudalism.

  15. No it isn't ​ @pondeify

  16. I wonder what made that time range different. Maybe it was USSR being a constant reminder to the U.K poor what life could be like if the house of lords didn't treat the U.K poor better​ @nics4967

  17. ​U have to ask what made that time different. Spoiler. There was a standing alternative model on the world stage the U.K poor could look to.

  18. Mortages for normal people at this point are just a form of rent control. They are loans that never get fully paid off.

  19.  @candorsspot2775  Tell me you've never ridden a bullet train without admitting you've never ridden a bullet train. You live like a caged animal and you are too trapped to even notice

  20.  @candorsspot2775  Cool. Now try 10 years in an American prison and report back in 2045.

  21.  @craigrethman5014  that is the insane logic of the rich. Real easy to be selfish once you've stolen enough wealth from others. I'd say read charles dickens but apparently no one read him anymore.

  22. ​ @hamishbegley1127 the market is deliberately and artificially made more complex to keep the rabble from easily seeing how they are being robbed.

  23.  @hamishbegley1127  Finance bros learned that investors will just assume a pile of $h!t big enough must have a pony underneath.

  24. Korea is a puppet of U.S imperial capitalism. Ask their pensioners how their hard work has been rewarded. Spoiler. They have more old people sleeping rough than the U.K, but the U.K is catching up in that respect @paullegend6798

  25. Minus the technocratic part you were spot on!

  26. ​ @gossipmongersaunt774 Rich people decided to defund the NHS so you can't access free medical care.

  27.  @candorsspot2775  Landlords don't produce housing. Stop simping for your masters. They will never love you back.

  28.  @candorsspot2775  You only say that because you are a serf that can(and haven't) left North America. Housing is not something to artificially and perniciously paywall away from you. It's a basic necessity that is easily provided for less money than you can imagine. Stop promoting feudalism and get back to work. Your landlord needs their monthly tithe.

  29. ​ @kevinsyd2012 you don't have to be the lender to have ownership of the debt

  31. It's interesting seeing the city of London as the global bastion of tax evasion. But the people in the U.K are increasingly being forced to live like the peasants of old.
