I absolutely agree. I'll repeat a comment I made separately.

I’ll repost a comment I made before again here:

If you have half the population each have 1 investment property. You must have the other half renters. You literally want to create two classes. Those with investment properties and those with no property. One class above another. You’re just using billionaires as a shield. You want to put yourself in a class above other people.

We should all work so that each person has one home.

And the “I don’t want to work until I die” should be covered by social insurance/social security instead of making someone else a renter.

Well .NET is dead now so I guess .COM and .ORG are dead too?

If passive income you getting income without working then who's working without income.

This whole thread thoroughly convinced me of george's ideas.

As Adam Smith said

As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce

You contradicted yourself. Op can't get a starter home but the starter home he would have bought is held hostage by the "smol" landlord. Pick one.

Why don't we just take investor money and invest in it ourselves?

Others have already pointed out that the covid vaccine was publicly funded ergo the benefit should be publicly owned

Then never in your life go to a fast food joint at 10 am on a Tuesday.

In terms of pure dollar amount, it should by adjusted by PPP. It should be a wage to live off of. I'm in engineering, a few years into my career, I am well paid but I should be paid more, relative to CoL. I should be doing very well even if I have a family not doing well because I don't have one.

Carbon sequestration is not possible right now or even for the foreseeable future.

Forcing jets to use renewable resources is a good one be should aim to ban private short and medium haul flights in general.

Absolutely agree INTERAC should be nationalized. This is why I like CBDCs it's because we'll have the opportunity to further strengthen public sovereignty and interests in our own currency.

Just as the title asks, where is lemmy.ca hosted?

I have flagfox installed on my firefox.

It tells me that lemmy.ca is hosted in Washington state. Link: https://iplookup.flagfox.net/?ip=208.87.97.51&host=lemmy.ca. I'd like to know if this is accurate.

Ideally I'd like to have the data be hosted in Canada and hence under Canadian law as opposed to US law.

I'd also be interested in hearing other opinions on this.
