@harrapasabhyata @RotIdeologist You want to elevate every communist into a position of power from which they can spread the revolution and massacre reactionaries? Sounds great Vladimir

@RotIdeologist My Goal is to Troytsky every Communist

The goal is the communist revolution and someone to love

@BobWhencer @puppy_stomp @root0cosmo the gouverment restricts the amount of rent in can charge for the units (assumed since their 'low-cost') it's definitionally rent control. Rent control doesn't care if the units being restricted are private, non-profit or state owned.

@melfmaster @puppy_stomp @root0cosmo Not meaningfully. It may also be affected by rent control, but it is not definitionally rent control.

If you say the state should seize the unused housing supply and make it public, or build more public housing, liberals procede to have an aneurysm.

@BobWhencer @puppy_stomp @root0cosmo It's definitionally rent control, if the landlord who's rent raises are getting restricted is private, a non profit or the government doesn't matter to the policy.

@melfmaster @puppy_stomp @root0cosmo So it's not rent control, it's adding low cost housing (also tends to be bad policy).

@puppy_stomp @root0cosmo Building low cost housing is rent control on said low cost units

@root0cosmo and that isn’t rent control. what i was getting at is that your idea is more appealing to me than rent control.

@Dewott1 They can say he's 10, but he def. wasn't portrayed like it. The prior changes were smaller and made him look older, at least that's how it seems to me. (1st ash -> 2nd, 2nd -> 3/4th and 4th -> 5th) So Sun and Moon portraying him correctly like 10 again looks like a break imo

@melfmaster @MoltenSteelTube @Liam_introverti X and Y also had an artstyle change that's why I'm confused They also directly call him 10 in XY that's not something Sun and Moon retconned

Vous êtes de quel côté ? Et pourquoi ?

@MAGAShrugged @MikeHudema try to keep up buddy

@melfmaster @MikeHudema Why do you think this debate was about Northern Europe?

Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands plan to build four artificial islands to quadruple offshore wind in the North Sea – the equivalent of 30 nuclear reactors. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #climate #energy #tech #GreenNewDeal

@MoltenSteelTube @Liam_introverti It's not that sun and moon are bad, its good, it's that the continuity seems weird due to the art style change. By XY they portrayed ash like a teenager, then in S&M he's 10 again Given before we saw him stay the same or grow, that probably turned ppl off so they never watched

@Liam_introverti Why are xyz fans so embarrassed of sun and moon? The fights were literally Better in sun and moon then xyz 😭

@MAGAShrugged @MikeHudema Why would Northern Europe try to power the entire world?

@melfmaster @MikeHudema Do you think all the power in the world can be produced in the Baltic Sea and North Atlantic?

@MAGAShrugged @MikeHudema Having no wind across the Baltic sea and north Atlantic is physically impossible due to atmosphere dynamics, not a single documented case. Worst case some portions wouldn't get wind

@MikeHudema And when the wind doesn't blow?

@spetsnaz9999xy @ripplebrain Chances are the little blonde is a guy too lol

@ripplebrain honestly what do you think will happen when you put a young little blonde in a tiny space for 6 months with 150 men...

And don't forget the rape lists!

@Linus200712345 @actsmaniac @HeSBK It decreases supply if applied to new construction, if not it obviously doesn't lol sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Try reading the studies that supposedly support your opposition to it, then again you can't comprehend comically basic sentences so I can't expect you to read papers

@melfmaster @actsmaniac @HeSBK This is not a coherant sentence. Rent control has been modelled and then emperical studies have been done that confirm those models. It decreases supply

Nothing sadder than a young person lost to evil

@Linus200712345 @actsmaniac @HeSBK >Guys this problem is almost entirely caused by thing, i'm sure we can model the problem correctly while this thing

@melfmaster @actsmaniac @HeSBK "Le economics is not advanced enough in this area so it must be wrong on this other completly unrelated thing"

@DavidPeabo41657 @sebbi @radioactivered Blackmailed by who lol Nuclear was far more entrenched in energy than renewables, only reason they get adopted is cause their better in most scenarios

@sebbi @radioactivered The problem is that renewable arent the most efficient, we have just been blackmailed to beleive that they are better for the environment, birds across the world and whales on the eastern seaboard disagree with windmills, and apherently the landfills do too. They also freeze

Unlike nuclear which produces a small, highly contained waste stream that is tracked and stored safely for the long term, wind turbines create massive composite blades that currently have no widely adopted recycling solution. Most end up in landfills, taking up space for decades and while other parts like steel and copper can be recycled, the sheer volume of materials needed for turbines (especially for large wind farms) creates a significant environmental burden. Wind turbines can also pose a threat to wildlife like birds and bats that sometimes will collide with the spinning blades, leading to injury or death. Nuclear waste is challenging but concentrated and engineered to be isolated, whereas wind turbine disposal is diffuse, growing and largely unsolved. Also, smoke does NOT come from a cooling tower like that. Good morning, you’re already the radiophobe of the day, congrats.☢️

@MMerlos6 @chflorelius I'd urge you to do the same, most negative effects depend entirely on how rent control is implemented i.e controlling rent in built up areas will obviously not affect new construction Similar caveats exist for most other negative effects

@melfmaster @chflorelius I urge you to get into the literature on this issue rent ceilings and freezes just aren’t the way to go.

Neoliberalism rots your brain proof #59742

@MMerlos6 @chflorelius Scarcity already exists, all your doing is making sure landlords extract as much profit as people can pay. You can (and should), build as much new housing as possible, but that won't change the mismatched demand for inner cities which are already built out.

@chflorelius If you want lower prices either raise supply or lower demand. It’s not complicated. Artificially lowering prices just creates scarcity.

@meteotek @Liskaarm_ TIL that Drilbur/Excadrill is actually a Rattata line. The actual Rattata would be Patrat/Watchog imo

@melfmaster @Liskaarm_ When I play Pokemon I tend to enjoy using stuff that isn't the regional Rattata and Weedle lines but thanks for the suggestion

I don’t know how to enjoy a completely new game POV : « PLZZ HELP ME I NEED MY GENGAR WHERE MY LUCARIO ???!! OMGGG LACK OF OLD POKÉMON THESE GAMES SUCK I JUST WANT THE SAME BURGER I’VE BEEN EATING FOR 15YRS » Please this will always be the most ridiculous reason to hate a game

@meteotek @Liskaarm_ All of these evolve in the mid-game / level 30s, plenty more to pick from too

@Liskaarm_ Well see the problem is in Unova you're either using ugly ass Pokemon like Seismitoad and Zebstrika or you're waiting until you're at the Elite Four before your baby Pokemon evolve into something actually cool.

@Yo807009248227 @fredsoda You stop owning it if you stop paying lmao

@fredsoda Property tax is a tax you pay to the city hall to keep everything clean, secure and in good conditions, not a rental of the land, you own it for perpetuity. Anyway if you speak to any libertarian they would say that is a leftist policy 🤷🏻‍♂️

cope

@actsmaniac @HeSBK HANK models only started becoming popular pretty recently, we can talk once policies start reflecting them instead of the previous generations. (And while much better, they can still fail at capturing the high share of wealth in the 1%)

@melfmaster @HeSBK Heterogeneous Agent New Keynesian models (HANK) exist. Households can differ in their characteristics such as wealth, income, information etc

@actsmaniac @HeSBK Actually looked at some of those and, ofc, none of the papers included economic models You can find plenty of studies on wealth distribution but, like I said, economic models themself generally arent accounting for it.

@melfmaster @HeSBK of course it gets studied there is a massive amount of research on it. Rent control is a microeconomics question though
