Somehow the "free markets provide stuff efficiently" bros never seem to be interested in examining how landlords just raise rents without needing to cover increasing costs.
Gemma@windupgemma
My last rent increase was because the landlord noticed that the market rate for the area had gone up Not because his costs went up, but because other landlords were charging more in my area and my landlord felt left out and thought I should pay him more for the same thing
English
@Kramburglar @flpcharthiatus So much for the free market, am I right?
English
@flpcharthiatus There is software designed to automate this, using what would normally be proprietary information to algorithmically collude on rent pricing
It's even part of the terms of using the software that you can't undercut fellow landlords, you have to agree to collude on higher rents

If only left wingers would bat away false accusations of antisemitism with the kind of confidence that right wingers bat away genuine evidence of bigotry.

Update: A Reform UK spokesman says Kenyon's comments about women driving were "locker room banter made more than a decade ago" "We simply don't care about establishment hit jobs. We fully back Rob and are confident he will be an excellent MP for Makerfield"

Become A Saint@BeSaintly
Karl Marx once said “Thus Heaven I’ve forfeited, I know it full well. My soul, once true to God, Is chosen for Hell” This is the craziest cope, and I have no clue why communists even care to attempt to convince people of it

@CyclingKent101 I commute on a motorbike (and also cycle regularly) and see assholery on the road almost daily. I just keep a safe distance and deal with situations patiently. It's been a long while since I got in a serious conflict with another road user; it's really not that difficult.
English
Is there a perfect driver? I don't thing so. I'm certainly not perfect.
My problem is with those who have little or no regard for others - the ones who lack empathy for other road users.
It's surprisingly easy to be cool to one another when using the road.

"If Burnham will commit to backing proportional representation for the next general Labour election manifesto so that it is in place by the election after next..." Assuming Labour would honour the commitment *and* assuming they'll win the next general election is just unserious

🟢 EXCL: Senior Green Party figures have urged Zack Polanski to consider stepping aside for Andy Burnham in the Makerfield by-election if the Greater Manchester mayor commits to introducing proportional representation Green councillors, activists and former party leaders have signed a joint statement warning that the party should approach the contest with “trepidation” The letter, whose signatories include Jonathan Bartley, who led the party between 2016 and 2018, and Rupert Read, a former Green councillor and author, says that Burnham’s election presents a “unique opportunity” to secure reform “In all reality this is not a seat Greens can win. It will be a straight fight between Labour and Reform. But it’s no ordinary by-election. Labour’s candidate, Andy Burnham, is looking to return to Westminster to lead in parliament.” “If Burnham will commit to backing proportional representation for the next general Labour election manifesto so that it is in place by the election after next, then on this unique occasion we don’t think Greens should run a full campaign against him,” the letter says Full read in @thetimes 👇 thetimes.com/article/16d6ba…

@BareLeft Why would you even want to enable another chance for Labour? Let them be stuck with Starmer and let him burn down the party.
English
Again - there's a reason why the Greens barely went anywhere before last September.
Prominent figures from before then need to shake off the follower mentality, and realise the Greens are here to replace Labour as the major force of progressive politics in England.
Alexander Louis Sallons@sallonsax
Bartley has been back for around 5 minutes and he's already undermining the party.
English
@daisyeastlake The Green's should oppose Burnham if for no other reason than to sink Labour faster. They don't deserve a second chance anymore. Especially not with someone like Burnham.

@dylgriggs @ValforNevada Which is a ridiculous argument even from a financial standpoint because of how expensive it is to move and how difficult it is to claw back your deposit.

@Ian_Fisch @hawkofkrypton @CantEverDie Him instantly begging for his life is like 1000% in-character and it's baffling anyone would not understand that given how thick they're laying it on from start to finish of the show.
English
@hawkofkrypton @CantEverDie I think him instantly begging to suck Butcher’s dick, within 30 seconds of losing his powers, didn’t feel real to me. It felt like a joke.
In Macgruber it was a joke.
English
still so funny to me so many far right people heavily personally identified with homelander, a character who was only ever calm when he was able to drink breastmilk of women in his life and act like a literal baby with them

@DeuceTheUchiha Fr. I enjoy watching it, but the pacing is all over the place and the vast majority of the show is just entertaining and not much more.
English
Invincible isnt a bad show but it keeps getting undeserved high ratings 😭 not a single episode past season 1 is a 9 but theyre all rated in that ballpark
Cartoon Base@TheCartoonBase
Invincible simply can’t miss.
English
@IRapeIDFTroops @Kristo67501283 @nikicaga The obsession with overanalyzing review scores is also something we should get over as a society. It just displaces all the actually interesting things there are to say with debating some numbers that don't even mean much.
English
@Kristo67501283 @nikicaga It's like we have lost the concept of something being "6/10, just fine" as a society.
Not everything needs to be a 10/10 or 0/10, nothing wrong with having bang average slop out there.
English
Maybe because the Boys finale is getting review bombed by people who thought Homelander was the tuffest guy ever and people who decided like 5 episodes ago that this finale would be bad
Cartoon Base@TheCartoonBase
Invincible simply can’t miss.
English
@KeasarNor It honestly feels like Starship Troopers discourse, but at least the writers made it absolutely clear which side the show is really on.
English
I think the right-wingers are reacting so strongly to this because suddenly they were held up a mirror to themselves, for what is hiding beneath all their bluster and bravado online as long as they can pretend to be strong.
And it terrifies them to their core.

@BareLeft Greens should oppose Labour in every election even if for no other reason than to sink this wreck of a party as fast as possible.
English
Uniparty latest.
How many of Labour's dwindling voters elected them to do deals with the Tories over the Greens?
This is exactly why Labour needs to be replaced. We already have MULTIPLE conservative parties, we don't need more.
Ben Phillips@benphillips76
Labour imposes ban on working with Greens, forces Labour councillors to partner with Tories.

I so hope that the Greens tank Burnham's election. Fuck Labour. Pathetic little briefcase wankers

@the92ndone @RyanMcGinty02 @RMike1820 @CPBritain Especially polls, which are almost always bourgeois political propaganda in some shape or form.
English
@RyanMcGinty02 @SSmit1986 @RMike1820 @CPBritain Well do you think that Labour can't be saved by any leader, or do you agree with the polls that Burnham would win back votes to election victory?
The idea that the role of a communist press should be to just report the bourgeois news without its own perspective... baffling
English
Headlines this week of the "communist" paper connected to the @CPBritain both boosting the campaign of the Blairite, war supporting, Zionist, privatiser Burnham. Reheated popular frontism on the agenda
Better to get the unashamedly Communist paper
