i think you’re giving too much credit to the efficiency of the free market.
essentially, once people rent their homes from private landlords, they’ll be comfortable and have a tendency to stay, even if they could get cheaper rates elsewhere. landlords use that fact to systematically overcharge.
the economy has to do fine again first, otherwise i can’t relax enough to enjoy this.
In the economy, every middleman eats a part of the gains. If you have private landlords buying up houses constructed by the city, that then rent them out to poor people, you make up completely unnecessary middlemen. cutting them out saves a lot of the cost, i predict. especially in cities, where people typically rent. maybe it wouldn’t work in rural areas.
whoa you must’ve been really good, how much detail there’s in the background, truly amazing :P
yeah but he doesn’t die, so in a sense it’s imagined, because if the eagle was really eating his liver, he’d obviously die. so, he just experiences it as if an eagle was eating his liver.
sry a bit more than 1
finally a place to dump my memes
Each one has to be valued independently
i guess therein lies part of the problem. since each house is a bit different, there’s no economies of scale, and that’s a large part of the reason why housing is so expensive.
i’m in favor of the city building a million homes and renting them out at non-profit rates. people joke and say it looks ugly, but ask homeless people: would you rather be homeless or live in a soviet-style building? i haven’t done the experiment but i suggest that 90% of homeless people would rather not be homeless.
just as a rough idea: i saw a documentary about eastern germany (back when it was still sovjet) the other day and it casually mentioned that rent was around $60 per month (in 2019 dollars) (yes, you read that right). rent was incredibly cheap. though i’m not sure whether it was only the economies of scale or also some subsidies through the government.
no u’r a good girl <3
it might just light the lights as a maintenance mode? to check the lights
so the effects are not really applied here
as long as it’s juicy, i’m ok with it. sadly too many people think fat = bad
yeah ok considering it’s all myth anyways, i like to give meaning to it, my own if i have to
i’d say burgers should be wider, not higher
but then they’d have a lower filling to bread ration and i don’t like that.
that’s a very reductionist view of mythology though. surely people back then didn’t know the diameter of an atom, but they made observations and packed these observations into neat, memorizable stories. hypochondria is a real phenomenon, and what i’m guessing is that the greek mythologers connected “bringing knowledge to the people” to hypochondria.
i’m making that claim because i’ve observed various times in my life that hypochondria seems to affect a certain type of people, me included. and i kinda resonate with what prometheus was supposed to stand for. so that’s that.
hello fellow austrian :P
