@nickirich14 This is not even remotely true

I need people to understand that about 60% of homeless people are employed but just don’t make enough to afford housing and that’s the real issue

@SadgeMcMutton @XueJia24682 No, I’m not a coin clipper. I’m Catholic. Are you thinking of a specific example or scenario in which your property won’t be restored to you by the courts?

@quantballs @XueJia24682 I appreciate the explanation, and I agree with it except the "I WILL get my property back" part. Oh yeah, are you jewish?

✨🇨🇳 Many young Chinese people post online videos showing their homes before and after purchase and renovation. China currently has the highest rate of homeownership among young people in the world.

“You’re ignoring massive problems with America as if having a littler more rights than China negates that” You have absolutely no idea how bad the system is under the ccp lol I run 7000 multifamily units in the Midwest. I’m very intimately familiar with real estate law and our rights as citizens in our system. I have a mortgage on a very cheap house. I’m 27 and make just under 100k/yr. Im explaining who I am and what my experience is because I’m going to go through these 1 by 1. it seems like you’re actually interested in talking about these things and I happen to know a lot about them. Squatters happen in every system. Only a select few states make their removal difficult, and while the execution is poor the squatter laws have one invaluable purpose: to get properties with a dead chain of ownership (think land owner is dead and no heir is alive or present to take possession) back in to circulation. Otherwise someone could die and the land would never be back on the market. Homelessness is an addiction and degeneracy issue, not an issue of property rights. Section 8, while I don’t agree with the premise, is a reasonable approach to getting people that can’t afford shelter into shelter. It’s a program that pays most often private (sometimes public, but often public housing projects are something different. The laws get weird when section 8, part of the federal fair housing act, interacts with state law) landlords part of a rental rate and the section 8 resident pays the difference. You having something of a valid point on squatters rights infringing on property owners rights, but only to the same degree that a non-paying tenant can infringe on a property owners rights. We have eviction laws in place that allow us to pursue legal remedy when our rights as owners are infringed. As best I’m aware, Chinese lessees don’t have the right of exclusion like we do in America. In all 50 states, if someone is using my property in breach of contract or without my permission, I WILL get my property back. The only variable is time. China has a documented pattern of breaking the lease with the lessee and siding with the tenant/squatter. This is because they do not have rights. No, im not a boomer. I just understand that our system is objectively superior to the Chinese system.

Did a Chinese girl break your heart or something? You're completely ignoring massive problems with America as if having a little more rights than China negates that. If we had proper rights, we wouldn't have squatters, and section 8 and homeless and all that. We wouldn't get priced out of our own home if property taxes or rent go up. Are you a boomer? Do you own a home and have lived there your whole life or something?

@SadgeMcMutton @XueJia24682 Are you saying that you are subject to US laws but somehow don’t have elected representation? Do you live in Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands or Guam?

@quantballs @XueJia24682 That's the most ridiculous thing I've read all day

@SadgeMcMutton @XueJia24682 Apparently more so than you. You don’t seem to understand how our government works at a fundamental level.

@quantballs @XueJia24682 Are you even an American?

You have rights as a property owner in the United States that you don’t have as a lessee in China, in fact there are five. Possession, Control, exclusion, enjoyment, and disposition. These are all guaranteed to property owners and vigorously defended by a rich, multi-century long history of precedent law cases. Not one of these is guaranteed to a lessee under the Chinese system. Your assertion that the United States “restricts ownership” is certainly subjectively wrong in the context of a comparison between the U.S. and Chinas systems. You’d have to take as an fact that what few restrictions we do have on property ownership which are almost exclusively limited to usage (zoning laws) are tyrannical in order to even argue there are any restrictions on property ownership in the US, but that’s a losing argument on its face because every reasonable person agrees there should be rules keeping a slaughterhouse from being built on the half acre plot next to their house

@quantballs @XueJia24682 You're arguing America is better than China because China restricts freedoms to own property. America does the same thing. Whether it bothers you as much as when China does it is on you. Lots of people would envy your ignorance to such problems.

@SadgeMcMutton @XueJia24682 You are absolutely represented in our system. Both at the local level (property taxes) and federal level (your senator and house rep)

@quantballs @XueJia24682 No amount of taxation is ok without representation

@SadgeMcMutton @XueJia24682 You can’t just read what I say then say a bunch of completely irrelevant shit and expect a coherent response You can’t keep your shit straight

@quantballs @XueJia24682 If they cared about safety and wellbeing, they wouldn't have let 20 million migrants into the country. They wouldn't have enacted the "Civil Rights" bullshit where they forced us at gunpoint to integrate with blacks, dooming our country to ghettos with 50 murders every weekend

@SadgeMcMutton @XueJia24682 Dude you’re retarded and you’re arguing in bad faith. A >4% tax on your property is not a burden. Property taxes do not pay for housing or welfare programs, they pay for EMS and other local funding needs. If you’re going to make an argument, at least keep it on topic

@quantballs @XueJia24682 LOL "taxing you to death is necessary for all the welfare and housing and cash benefits we give to the illegals we let destroy your country from the inside while we fuck it up from the outside"

@SadgeMcMutton @XueJia24682 No, a vehicle registration fee isnt so you “can be robbed”, it’s because vehicles are 5000 lbs missiles and people are retarded. We did in fact try a system without licensing or registration, and people kept doing dumb shit and killing other people.

@quantballs @XueJia24682 Just like you buy a car, you have to keep registering it every year, new plates, new tags, even though you paid off the car. It's not for security. It's so they can rob you at gunpoint.

I don’t pay any attention to a media that’s impeached its own credibility time and time again You pay tax on your house to fund schools, police, fire/ems, and other services that are fundamentally necessary for a society to function. The way our system is set up puts an undue burden on owners and needs to be changed, but claiming a tax is the same as a lease is flat out wrong.

@quantballs @XueJia24682 Then how come you have to keep paying tax on your home after you've bought the home? And the government will come take it if you don't? And how did you not see the CNN poll, Trump talking about the poll, the White House bragging on X about the poll, etc.?

Let’s assume your numbers are right and total each accident to 100k each You’d have to prevent thirty accidents per year in a stretch of road 30 miles long centered on this overpass (because the overpass isn’t useful to animals that don’t live near it, they’d just cross the road like usual) That’s an accident every 12 days in that one single 30 mile stretch of road

@quantballs @BenjiBacker $15 million is not a lot of money in this context. Let’s say a deer is struck by a car. That’s maybe $5k of vehicle damage. Other state expenses like animal control and police involvement is easily $10k. But the real suck is traffic. Wasted fuel and time is $100k+ each.

Colorado built this wildlife overpass last year for $15 million. It’ll pay for itself within five years from the avoided collisions. California spending $114 million on a failed wildlife overpass is absurd.

You’re listing things we could and should improve in our country but you’re not somehow proving that you don’t own land in the U.S. In China, the owner of record is always the state All buildings and land is owned by the state The closest you can get is a 99 year revocable lease In the U.S., you absolutely own your land outright The CNN point is weird. Not only did that not happen but it has absolutely nothing to do with land ownership

Americans can't even sell the milk from their own cows on "their" farm. The farm the government will take from them if they don't pay property taxes. Planned obsolescence, incredibly high taxes, can be imprisoned for criticising Israel, the list goes on. 100% approval rating on CNN for the Iran war? LOL

@CeliVice @GreysonW98 @XueJia24682 People who take out debt to buy things that aren’t houses or cars reap what they sow honestly

@quantballs @GreysonW98 @XueJia24682 They probably mean endless debt. Granted everyone is ultimately responsible for their own financial decisions but given the low IQ of many people (by design) they cant make sound decisions so they end up owning nothing.

@GreysonW98 @XueJia24682 Who is renting their house or car or music or tv or appliances in the US

@quantballs @XueJia24682 Yeah like just like in America where you rent your house you rent your car you rent your music you rent your movies you rent your TV you rent your appliances you own nothing here

@SadgeMcMutton @XueJia24682 I’d love to know what you think you mean by this

@quantballs @XueJia24682 Kinda like America

@DeeTaylor102 @XueJia24682 No, not at all like property tax in America. China operates with 99 year leases. There’s no such thing as land ownership.

@quantballs @XueJia24682 Kind of like property tax in America?

@PnishdMythMason @Reptolord The U.S. doesn’t even raise a majority of its cattle in feedlots Like 96% of all cattle globally grows like this

@Reptolord yes? Basically 100% of cows in europe just walk around fields. The US is not the only place on earth

Imagine being so illiterate that you think this is where industrial beef in the quantities people consume comes from.

@Reptolord I would love to know where you believe it comes from
