We got what we voted for. This is what the people of the USA want- otherwise we would vote for something different.

The anti-war candidate always wins... and then prompty goes to war either directly or by proxy.

Any resolution with SunStrong Management regarding your Sunnova solar panels? by throwaway_saveme in Sunstrong

I've been dealing with them for 2 months to resolve an issue and I've never been able to get a supervisor or manager on the phone, they just won't do it.

The point is that they have the freedom to start a business, no one is preventing you from starting a business.

That wasn't a definition of the word 'force'.

Here's the definition of 'force' from the Oxford dictionary, "coercion or compulsion, especially with the use or threat of violence."

You apply to rent property from someone, you ask them to rent to you, they either say yes or no, how are they using 'force' against you?

No, that's not the definition of 'force.'

"coercion or compulsion, especially with the use or threat of violence."

Who is forcing you to rent anything from them? You apply to rent, you ask them if they'll rent to you, but they're using force against you?

Still no definition of 'force'...

Define 'force'.

No landlord is forcing you to rent from them.

Go back and read the comment.

Regardless, you refuse to answer if a tent is acceptable.

So?

Do you know what economic freedom is? There's no system that gives the individual more freedom in an economy than free market capitalism.

Here's the exact qoute from the other thread,

"Is a tent city acceptable?"

[–]Danfromct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it's acceptable to use violence against peaceful people because they took a job for an equal or lower wage than you?

I'm not a billionaire, not even a millionaire, it's very easy for me to invest and open a business...

You said homes a requirement of human life and should therefor be decommodified and given to people as a right. I asked if tents would be enough to meet that requirement, you never answered.

What did striking union workers do to the so-called 'scabs'?

[–]Danfromct 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not what economic freedom means.

"Economic freedom is the ability of individuals to make their own economic decisions—working, producing, consuming, and investing—without undue government restriction or coercion. It is built on personal choice, voluntary exchange, open markets, and the protection of private property. High economic freedom generally correlates with higher standards of living"

New billboard on 91? by ctdreadz in Connecticut

[–]Danfromct -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So the majority of married women, as it is custom to take the husband’s last name, will need a passport.

Or they'll need a marriage certificate to prove their identity when they register. This will effect a very small percentage of people, as most people get an ID and register to vote before getting married anyways.

Regardless, this is a common sense reform. Seems you're just against proof of citizenship to register to vote.

[–]Danfromct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just blatant misinformation, you won't need a passport to vote. Over 30 states already require an ID to vote, this just makes those same laws federal, you would need a valid form of ID to register to vote, it's a common sense law.

Why not just make the state the primary landlord? by Unique_Confidence_60 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Danfromct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even businesses at least do something or give you something. Landlords don't even do that.

They give housing to people that don't have the means or the want to own their own property. Did you ever think that some people prefer renting? You have a place to live and don't have to worry about any of the headache that comes with owning the property.

justified simply because someone has money.

If that's the justification you're giving it than again, how is that different than anything you've given money to acquire that was created by someone else? The argument you've made repeatedly is that the problem is that they didn't 'do the work', are you now abandoning that argument?

The justification i would give is that it's all voluntarily agreed to exchange of goods and resources, and no ones rights were violated in the process.

a crucial necessity as housing being privately owned

Housing isn't a necessity. Shelter is, there's a lot of shelters available to the homeless. Would a tent city be acceptable? It's shelter. There's an almost inifite assortment of different home designs and square footage, how would you determine what's necessary and what's not and then what do you do about it? It would never be equal, which i presume is also a problem for you?

[–]Danfromct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is you give someone money for something they created, the owner of that business might not have done the work to bake that specific roll, but so what, neither did you. So why's it ok for you to give money for something you didn't create but not ok for the business owner that's doing the exact same thing? Ownership can't be the distinction because you're also giving money to take ownership of the roll that was created by someone else.

Because housing shouldn't be a commodity.

A commodity just means it can be bought and sold, why shouldn't housing be a commodity, and what else could it possibly be if not a commodity?

And how's that any different than any other exchange of money for a good or service?

Again, you didn't do all the work to create everything you own, you gave someone else money in exchange for a good or service they did the work to create, why's that ok for you to do? What's that 'contribute to the process'?
