There are as many houses as people want but not all the the quality or location they want. Manufactured homes can be dropped on lots for a fraction of the price. People live in the central valley and commute so they can have a home for much less. The world will never have everything everyone wants the way they want it. Thats not this world.

If them buying it denied other legitimate buyers with the same purchasing power from doing so, then yes. A home is too unique a purchase to be scalped though. It’s like art in that the house is the only 1 one available exactly like it. The same exact house built on a corner or further in on the block have different values.

2 pairs of the exact same sneaker treated the same from the same production run are practically identical. Market manipulation through scalping is the only method to raise it’s price at the time of market sale.

Tickets have a limited duration they hold ANY value so their prices can be manipulated through scalping too.

Houses just shouldn’t be in the same conversation.

A home is 1 form of shelter. The luxury form. Much in the way a Ferrari is a form of transport vs a bike. The meme doesn’t show shelter in the context of a basic right. It’s showing a luxury good among other luxury goods.

What the hell does that have to do with luxury goods? The house is the only thing you Might not consider a luxury good because you need housing but, owning your own property and not sharing walls with a neighbor is in fact, a luxury.

I wouldn’t have realy thought so, but since you are getting the downvotes, I guess you are right! I’ll upvote you since you’ve apparently found a taboo subject.

We going to Medieval Times!

I think you are probably right but I always imagine it like wind in a sail. It’s strong enough to push a ship but not rip the sail due to surface area. I can at least pretend that’s the case. 😆

Yeah I just don’t like the feel of dirt grit and bugs in my teeth.

He’s a self professed degenerate, and wealthy to boot. He doesn’t give a shit what any of us think.

It’s nice his dad called and gave him shit though, since his audience is more toxic than he is and he shouldn’t be feeding them like that.

I’ve seen enough of his content to know he’s usually pretty quick to shut down talk just like what he got in trouble for so I don’t know what got into him that day.

The more well known something is, the more criticism it will receive. Also with movie prices going up and Disney reminding everyone each year how little they care about fans, it’s not a surprise people have cooled on their decade old properties.

They are also spending more to make objectively less exciting projects. When the first Avengers movies were coming out it was impressive how well they brought comics to life. It’s not impressive any more with so many examples, so they aren’t pushing the bounds of expectations anymore. They have to wow people now with writing and performances.

I think the decision makers are also making more diversity choices (in the wrong way) and have the PR teams talk too much about how proud they are of their DEI choices instead of how they like the movie they made.

Black Nick Fury is best Nick Fury. Black Panther was incredibly well received. I felt like Moonknoght was better received than I was expecting. Miles Morales was a very popular Spiderman iteration. So I don’t think it’s just racism.

They just need to acknowledge who’s actually buying tickets. It sometimes feels like the same complaints people make about the WNBA not making a bunch of money.

The best example I can think of where the race choices really got stupid to the point of offensive was the first “The Last Airbender” movie where the director race swapped the entire fire nation to Indian, made the water nation white when they probably should have been Innuit or something similar, then chose to mispronounce the main characters name to make it sound more ethnic when the source material was in English, so they knew exactly how it should be pronounced.

Then for whatever reason, people got mad that the main character was white when it was the only character animated in such a way they could be white, and the tribe was a nomadic collection of people making it somewhat possible albeit not relevant to the nation theming of the other nations.

Anyways, this triggered my annual Last Airbender rant, so sorry about that.

They are correct. I’d do it myself but there’s alot of spam in 1 can for a pizza or even 2. I’ll have to set some aside next time I make Spam Masubi. Of course that means a few less servings of masubi… life is full of hard choices…

Once unskippable warnings and ads appeared on DVDs I bought, I became a lost cause.

I’m generally against “sin taxes” but I have to admit that the $2 bump per pack after I quit smoking made it easier to not look back. It’s now about $5 more (I think, I haven’t actually looked for a while.)

After 18 years of smoking, I am glad I quit.

As a person with 3 cats, I get what you’re saying. You’re getting down voted, but we all know cats can devistate local wild life populations.

Rescuing them and making them indoor cats is the responsible thing to do, but I don’t think any vegans would argue with that.

I think its after those establishing facts that the discussion is taking place.

I personally am not a fan of any breeding programs when there are so many cats and dogs available to rescue, but that’s just me.

I totally agreed when I was younger but over the years I’ve grown to appreciate when the game makes me play a “suboptimal” class/job. I learn to love some of the quirky characters because they make me try them.

When I’m given all the jobs I compulsively try to level them all because I’m broken that way.

Yes. It’s making fun of people like me who are completely incapacitated for a day when I get a migrane/fever but get hit by some random thing and start bleeding and just shrug it off.

Women get lots of practice being miserable and carrying on with their menstrual cycles, while guys like me generally feel fine for monthes at a time, with normal aches and pains, then just fall apart with the sniffles.

It’s a relatable truth/joke in alot of relationships.

The restaurant is not Disney owned, but a business located within a Disney property. Think like a panda express at a mall food court. The person’s estate is suing the mall because the restaurant didn’t follow their allergen guidelines. Those guidelines also being posted on the mall website.

It was so wild! Mine looked like a stone with an emerald hue. I was not expecting the green at all. It was a time when I went to burger King more frequently to meet a friend who was sick so I tried it with no advanced notice of the repricusions.
