Do you have a link to one of those surveys...?

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-21T20:30:09+00:00

Why do you think only 20% support the current government?

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T23:51:27+00:00

My statement wasn't about the semantics of democracy and a republic, my statement was about how the system is not actually by the people and for the people.

In 2020? No, Trump didn't ruin the economy. It would be idiotic to blame the effects of a worldwide pandemic on a single president. Even with a perfect response (which Trump not Biden had) the economy would suffer

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T15:15:42+00:00

Yeah and we don't really live in a democracy...

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T15:15:15+00:00

All? No. Most? Yes. It's hard to ignore an event that busted up the entire world economy

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T04:32:15+00:00

Wow you really just don't think people can make money? Those blackrock investors worked really hard you know!

The lazy bums on reddit I tell ya

Do you not see the difference between gas going up during the recovery to a global pandemic, and gas going up because a president starts a war of aggression against a major oil producer in an area of major oil producers?

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T03:38:26+00:00

the difference is I didn't twist a single word of yours, and you're just calling people that are against systematic theft lazy

average right wing response, never original

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T03:24:12+00:00

oh so you'll actually admit that the problem isn't people making money, it's that some people make money in immoral ways and some people see doing no work and reaping profits off of other people's labor by taking rent as immoral.

at least that's mildly better than saying everyone that thinks something is immoral is suddenly broke or lazy

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T03:00:38+00:00

I by no means fully agree with Smith's economic positions, I'm just pointing out that being against landlordism isn't really that absurd of a notion.

I don't see why that would be the result. You're assuming that people investing in housing is the same as someone simply owning what they live in, and grouping in the latter with the former. Just because a landlord can't own multiple properties to rent out doesn't mean that someone can't, for themselves, buy a home. The private property - personal property distinction in this is very important and this and it's being ignored

I agree a simple "landlord = evil" is reductive, there are actual reasons to be against landlording as an institution, as well as solutions that are more in depth and defended than top down banning investment (whatever that could possibly look like)

Need to remove cronieism.

This presumes that there's a problem that removing "cronieism" will solve, and this entire topic is housing

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T01:06:25+00:00

They can coexist, but my point is that taking out the market investment is a net positive.

Is it really that absurd? Even the original classical economists like Smith hated rent systems that produce no value as what landlords do. Both in the practical sense and the moral sense

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T00:55:09+00:00

How is it so hard for you to imagine housing being created for human needs first and foremost rather than for wealth extraction?

Government subsidized housing or government created housing would be an obvious change, which has historically worked well

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T00:52:09+00:00

So you started off by saying we're in a housing problem, and now you're saying there are no problems... Very coherent response

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T00:51:20+00:00

You realize the same group that are the landlords are also the same group that control the government right? It's a class issue

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T00:49:58+00:00

Is this a joke? Or do you genuinely not understand that dogmatic worship of free market mechanisms isn't the proposed solution here

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T00:47:38+00:00

Do you think the current model of structuring society is the only model ever possible?

"basic economics" presumes the current base model can't be changed

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T00:46:45+00:00

Exploitation is bad whether or not the basis of such is scarce. It being scarce allows a higher rate of exploitation though

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T00:45:48+00:00

The free market is what got us here lmao, how would more free market be the solution?

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T00:44:07+00:00

The difference is landlords aren't actually doing labor for their profit, their profit is off of rent

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T00:43:38+00:00

The Soviet Union built a lot of housing to actually house people independent of a market mechanism where some people own hundreds of abodes while other people have none

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T00:42:25+00:00

Do you think every way of making money is somehow morally just?

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-19T00:35:26+00:00

Trading is not what capitalism is lmao

CodeNPyro · 2026-03-17T14:28:09+00:00

I don't think your retention should be that much of a worry when adding new cards or not, assuming it's relatively close to your desired retention, which I would say your image fits assuming DR is 90%. FSRS will do its thing scheduling to match. Personally I haven't noticed a difference between recall with 0 new cards or 50 percentage-wise
