It’s mind boggling…

If they do, they get down voted.

Mine is basically dead. One person periodically posts a news article but no one comments.

Both Lemmy and Reddit are mostly echo chambers. If you don’t agree with the hive mind, you’re down voted.

Wages have not kept up with everything else.

There’s nothing wrong with that.

At this point, presently? People acting like they are experts on Marxism without ever delving into Marxist theory

If you rent at cost or even a little over you’ll go broke. People won’t pay their rent and trash the places. Non-profits are finding out that they can’t even support what they’re trying to do with housing because the actual costs are more than what you think are “at cost”.

So you’d choose senseless violence. Good thing you’re not getting any money.

It’s an extra monthly fee to cover the cost of extra cleaning and repairs needed due to tenants having pets and the damage they cause.

Just ban all cigarettes. They’re not good for anyone.

Maybe this means we need more female detectives.

It’s easier on someone’s ego to blame someone or something else rather than admit they have faults.

Everyone is in control of their body but it’s not legal to commit suicide.

When people like you start name calling it’s because you have nothing intelligent to say.

Because more and more, people (at least in America) are feeling entitled to get free stuff without contributing to society.

It’s been such a turnaround in attitude. Back in the WWII era, people went all out to support their community and the country. People would help their neighbors when needed. People wouldn’t want to go on welfare unless they had to. Then they worked hard to get off it.

Nowadays it seems that people encourage each other to get government money and don’t want to do anything for themselves. They’ll have children they don’t care about just to get more money from the government. It’s ridiculous.

I’m not talking about people who need a temporary leg up. I’m talking about able bodied people who just don’t feel like contributing to society. Everyone should just give them free money so they can sit home and play video games all day? (For example)

That would be something you’d have to take up with the government. Maybe start local because every state can set different laws.

It’s people who have nothing intelligent to say that resort to petty insults.

$7.25 x 2080 (number of working hours in a year) / 12 = $1,256 A 1 bedroom can be rented for as little as $500-$600 in my city, even less if you have roommates. (Example: $800 for a 2 bedroom means it’s only $400/person and each person gets their own bedroom) Maybe the minimum wage should be increased since it hasn’t since 2009? You keep talking about just giving people a house. Have you given your house to a homeless person? Let them have it for free? Then you could walk away and buy another house to give away to another homeless person.
