  • You can sell, but you'll get way less for a house that has a tenant, because the new owner can't kick them out. I know someone that bought a house for a really great price, because it had a tenant that had lived there for 50 years or so. It was basically a 10 year waiting game until the tenant died (he was old when this person bought his place). But after that he sold the place for almost double what he paid. I do have to add that in those 10 years the housing market also went up a lot.

    I want to add it might seem I like landlords, I don't, but if we want to get mad at someone it should be the system we accepted as a people.

  • Maybe but there is a market for it. To me it's crazy people (students) in the Netherlands pay 15 euros a month for a bicycle, while you can find a working second hand one for about 100 euros.

    Same goes for cars, I always save and buy second hand, I would never even consider borrowing for a car. Rather have an older model than debt.

    But some people are different and don't mind to pay extra for less hassle, like the bicycle thing. They replace it when you get a flat tire for example.

    For some people that's also what they like about renting a house, roof has a leak? Landlord has to fix it.

  • That's not really true, one of my friends rented an apartment for about 2 years specifically because he didn't knew if he wanted to live abroad or in a different city. Same goes for my sister she really didn't want any long term commitments to have the freedom to go anywhere. She didn't even wanted a 1 year phone contract.

    Lots of young people rent because it gives them more freedom and less burden when they want to move.

    Also about the premium cost, it really depends on the laws, like in the Netherlands after you have rented a house for over 1 year, the landlord can only raise the rent a certain percentage. Some people have been renting the same apartment for 30+ years and pay a ridiculous low rent.

  • I know this will be downvoted to hell, but this whole let's rally against landlords is kind of stupid in my opinion.

    You can say the exact same thing about a bank that gives you a lone, they do zero work and get money.

    Or a company that leases or rents out cars.

    For a landlord you can make the argument that a home is a primary life necessity. But when you borrow money from a bank it's pretty much the same thing.

    Some people don't want to stay in a place too long and like the option to rent. Also it's not like a landlord hard zero risks, you can get tenants that are horrible and trash a place.

    Just to be clear I'm not a landlord myself, but also not someone that just hates them because it's a thing now.

  • I don't care about these games and not even about steam, but a payment provider having any power over what content a service offers is really bad. It's like your supermarket checking if you eat your food they sold you with cutlery.

  • I also had the Nexus 6P, great phone, loved it. Had some phones after that, but a few years ago I "upgraded" to a Pixel 6 Pro. That phone was a lot shittier in many ways, like no headphone jack or SD slot. But also Googles own software felt kind of buggy. My Nexus had very little problems with USBC but my Pixel somehow was a magnet to dust. I needed to do a tooth pick cleanup every other month.

  • My world is so much better because of immigrants

  • I would say make sure people have a clear way of becoming legal immigrants. If they are legal, make sure the labor laws are enforced. So no paying under minimum wage, make sure the workplace is a safe place, etc.

  • I'm not an expert but I think frite sauce is basically mayonnaise with cheaper ingredients. To call something mayonnaise (at least in the Netherlands) it must contain 70% oil and 5% egg (yolk).

  • Kapitalism

    Jump

  • Exactly, this is why strong laws are needed. In the end we (the people) all benefit. Maybe a small example but when the EU started to push for usbc as the only standard, it made things lot better. If you are older and still have a drawer with 15 chargers all with different plugs, voltages and amps you known what I mean. Back in the day before cheap chargers from aliexpress, just replacing a simple charger from the manufacturer could be a pretty expensive thing.

  • Raise prises and if legally possible even lower wages, hey we are the only bakery in town so it's getting paid peanuts or have no job at al.

  • Kapitalism

    Jump

  • In a classic example you have a village with 2 bakeries, one of the bakers came up with a machine to kneed the bread, so he can make more bread and sell it cheaper. This is sort of the story people tell to show how great capitalism is.

    But we have reached a point where that one bakery now owns a chain of bakers, adds ingredients to the bread to make it more addictive, skips on actual ingredients needed for bread and replaces them with sawdust, made donations to the current political party so any competition has to jump through hoops to get a bakery license, etc.
