Idiot of the Day

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.....

 

@entrepreneurson.tt

A UK property investor who owns hundreds of properties argues that landlords and developers help solve the housing shortage by adding more homes to the market. When challenged about profiting from housing, he pointed out that he is currently building a block of 48 houses. His argument is that without private investment in new homes, supply would fall further, putting even more pressure on rents. The debate highlights a real tension in the housing market. Investors need a financial incentive to build, but when housing becomes too expensive, renters can struggle to save enough to buy a home. The challenge is increasing supply while keeping housing affordable. Follow (@entrepreneursonig) for everything related to entrepreneurs. Media: IGV Studios

Those damn capitalists making money off their investments. What nerve!

Sadly this is the way many liberals think. Profit bad! Sickening really. Elizabeth Warren preached against profits and landlords while she flipped foreclosures and made load off them

Even the world “Landlord” implies feudalism and an aristocratic mentality.

One thing the Soviets got right was free housing. Same for North Korea. People are still living in commie blocks all over Eastern Europe and Russia.

There is a far better solution for the global housing problems .

1. Stop giving housing vouchers to illegal immigrants

2. Build adequate and secure, basic public housing. Make dorm style for single people. Then no more than 1 bedroom houses as temp housing for people with children. This should be a social safety net and not a long-term housing solution.

3. Create a 5-10 year ban on any landlords or property investors from bidding on foreclosures, just like HUD.

These three will make a huge impact on improving housing affordability.

Oh yes, Communist Blocks are great. Affordable Government Housing is a fantastic solution. It works so well in China that the Government doesn’t allow some people to leave their homes. Some even had this enforced with their generous Government welded all their doors closed.

Do we have "housing problems" in this country? If so, someone please define the problems and point me to the stats that support the claim.

3:42 is discouraging. With thinking like that it is no wonder we continue to lurch towards Socialism. Government is not the solution. It’s the problem.

4:11, there is literally no way that the argument made by 3:42 is real. There cannot be anyone this stupid alive. It has to be an attempt to steal copper or something similar.

Lawd have mercy ... that's just as goofy as saying a master bedroom conjures up visions of slavery.

The only way that I would condone the government taking someone's property would be if the City of Jackson would declare eminent domain over all of the empty, rotting, houses throughout West Jackson and turn the into duplexes and quadplexes for the homeless.

3:42 obviously never visited the Soviet Union, and is unaware of housing shortages in Sweden and other countries with strict rent controls. The worst landlord in NYC is the city government. He needs to ask why people are still living in subpar housing in former Soviet block countries. He or she also seems to be unaware of the results of the War on Poverty. He or she should learn about the history of Cabrini Green in Chicago or the Desire Street Projects in New Orleans. And I certainly wouldn’t cite North Korea as an example for anything except the most brutal dictatorship in the world.

Make a fuckton of money so you can feel better about yourself! Build a big ass house so you will have to spend more money to keep it up. And live the fucking American pipe dream!

3:42 is a troll. Nobody is that dumb.

Socialism was tried in American Plymouth Colony 1620, but people starved so changed to private ownership of land, then colony thrived.
406 years later, commies want to again? again?

3:42pm left an important component out of his/her government housing solution: snitches who inform Central Planning on tenants who want freedom more than 'free housing'.

When people birth a child into poverty, they either 1) are taught envy and resentment of others who have planned/achieved/worked harder for or 2) they are taught to work hard/sacrifice/forgo family & children until they are able to afford them.

Now that the world is mostly driven by tech media messages, the envy/resentment model has effectively been instituted as a mind virus for far too many.
There are the 1% Elites of the World
Then there are the 5% of the Envy/Resentment Crowd
Then there's the 5% of the Rugged/Individualists (Responsible)
And then there are the 89% of the Sheep who haven't a clue....
until it's too late.

The difference is the Envy/Resenment crowd is willing to become emotionally unstable and violent when there is a critical mass of them, and non-stop media fanning those flames of envy and resentment.

Whichever commentator is saying build government housing needs to go back and each a few episodes of “Good Times”.

It’s a massive transfer of wealth disguised as "market liquidity," and it’s getting worse every day.

Rent-seeking is the act of growing one's existing wealth by manipulating public policy or economic conditions without creating new wealth. Rent-seeking activities have negative effects on the rest of society. They lead to reduced economic efficiency due to misallocation of resources, stifled competition, lower wealth creation, a loss of government revenue, increased income inequality, increased debt levels, the risk of increased corruption and cronyism, the decline in public trust in institutions, and potential socioeconomic and institutional decline.

This pig ,while saying all this dumb crap, is hoping to parlay into way more than the average salary . Like any pig . I know three true liberals.....and they don't think this way. Progressives do. It's time to separate into 4 clear parties. Moderates have to take back all things political and socially.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
