How is this legal.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

In a word, corruption.

In two words, legal corruption.

In three words, blatant legal corruption.

In four words, United States political system.

It's the same here in the UK, unfortunately. Is that neoliberalism? Or just a rehashed kind of feudalism? I don't know, I'm mostly a gardener.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, it's pretty much a defining aspect of Neoliberalism. Just like turning the corruption up to 11 in both severity and blatancy is a hallmark of the economics of fascism.

How is it legal that people buy property and rent to those who want to rent instead of buy? My question to you is why wouldn't it be legal?

those who want to rent instead of buy?

Who actually wants to spend 1/3 of their paycheck on something every month and not own it?

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Biggest plusses people argue in favor is not having to maintain the property yourself and being able to move much more easily. If you are one of the people who would prefer to buy, I highly recommend you do so. Maintaining your own stuff is quite nice, as it lets you keep it up to the quality you desire.

Lmao this guy thinks landlords maintain the property.

Great, you can move more easily to another overpriced unmaintained property. You will own nothing and you will be happy about it.
