Space Cowboys!

I was thinking Space Cowboys!

I watched all of it in 2 days, and when I was done I felt like I was waking up from a dream and it made me sad 😅 1000/10

Omg, for real though, I was having a breakdown on my couch and then laughing hysterically the next second 😭

David bought both of us his shirts that say Abolish ICE! Brody King is good one ❤️

5/5 Solutions need to be presented to hold the people at the top accountable, but our government and the people holding all the money don't actually care about those at the bottom who get shit on every single day by the people at the top.

4/5 little point that keeps getting left out of discussions on rent control.

As a final point on all this, capitalism is evil and there are no ethical million/billionaires. People like myself live paycheck to paycheck, barely managing to get by, and others are flat out homeless.

3/5 Even in Maryland, where there is no state mandated rent caps, landlords don't give a shit about the properties they rent out. Conditions are abysmal with or without rent caps.
Part of the solution HAS to be holding landlords accountable for corrupt practices, and that is a convenient

2/5 atrocious practices from landlords who would take advantage of being able to raise rent however and whenever they want.
I would also like to add that rent caps leading to a lack of incentive to maintain properties is bullshit. I have rented my entire life, as have many of my friends.

1/5 I did a lot of reading, from both perspectives, including from Dr. Rupert. No one is trying to say that this is not an incredibly complicated issue to resolve.
However, getting rid of rent caps is not necessarily the solution, and in the current state of our country, is an open door allowing for

The Dark Order is just amazing in every way 😂

Supporting the renters means NOT making it harder for them to afford housing while we try to get wages to a liveable level.

You say "why not go after employers" as if 1. We aren't trying to do that already and 2. As if you are on the side of people who can't afford housing. If you're on the same side but you aren't supporting the renters in their fight for liveable wages, then you're part of the problem.

Genuinely asking: if owning property and keeping it up is SO expensive, why own so many properties?
