  • No. It’s not large companies. It’s a sickness inherent in the system and exactly what this is taking about. The only service being provided is leveraging their own credit to get a mortgage from the bank and then paying that mortgage and taxes with rent. They do that because it will decrease supply and increase value. And that’s a parasitic practice done not just by large companies by any means. In my city they even subcontract for maintenance and also pay for that out of the rent. If we’re doing this shit, why exactly aren’t we just letting the renters own their equity for paying the goddamn mortgage. It’s a disgusting system.






  • Here’s the thing. You said “vegan luncheon meat is spam.”

    Is it in the same USDA classification? Yes. No one’s arguing that.

    As someone who is a scientist who studies processed food, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls luncheon meat spam. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.

    If you’re saying “luncheon meat category” you’re referring to the economic grouping of the USDA, which includes things from Armour Treet to Great Value to Swift Prem.

    So your reasoning for calling a vegan luncheon meat spam is because random people “call the one in the tin spam?” Let’s get King Oscar and Chicken of the Sea in there, then, too.

    Also, calling something meat or spam? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how nutrition classification works. They’re both. Spam is spam and a member of the luncheon meat category. But that’s not what you said. You said luncheon meat is spam, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all tinned meat spam, which means you’d call prem, treet, and other luncheon meat spam, too. Which you said you don’t.

    It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?
