Antiwork

So because they were here first, and stole all the land from the people, by "buying it" for trillionths of pennies on the dollar, we should respect their theft because they did it first?

No. The Commons must be respected, or The State must provide affordable housing such that a citizen pays a fixed percentage of their monthly income. Said fixed percentage should be between 2% as is the case in Estonia and Latvia, or as high as 5%, as is the case in multiple Nordic and Eastern European countries.

Meanwhile the rich, and corporations, aren't allowed to make dynasties by purchasing land and intellectual property rights in perpetuity. You have never had an original idea, and neither have I. The vast majority of people don't. All ideas must enter the public domain within 30 years.

The real problem you have is that the government under Clinton outlawed the government from owning more than a specific dollar amount of residential property. Meanwhile, the federal government owns more than 1/3 of the land in the country, and could totally create housing for those "undesirable tenants" that you can't leech off of.

Landleeches must be regulated. You fuckers caused the housing shortage in every modern developed country in the world.
