It will do the opposite, if anything reducing the capital these huge companies have should encourage small business growth and entrepreneurship. They cant just open up and crush the little guy.
It’s just that most entrepreneurs see themselves as temporarily displaced billionaires so they work against their own best interests.
Only individuals should be able to buy and own residential property. Not corporations, not numbered companies, just people. They can rent them out, etc but don’t get the same protections of corporations. It becomes personal at that point. Banks generally will finance about 20 properties this way before they decide the liability becomes too much. This protects small landlords still, but gets all the big money out.
Then the rental market will price itself fairly based off of that and keep the rental market in check, but when the corporations own both sides of the coin they set the price.
It’s like the story of a Vancouver woman who lived in an apartment in English Bay. She was a server when she moved there 10 years ago, and had no issue affording it. Over the years she got settled, went to school while working and became a lawyer.
She eventually had to move out of the same apartment as it was no longer affordable, despite becoming a lawyer and earning significantly more money.
If she can’t keep pace with inflation going from a server to a lawyer, not sure what hope the rest of us would have.
Not even sure what the alerts have to do with this, but… I would rather be woken, than have a child slip through the cracks that could have been saved.
Some people care about others, others are selfish. You opinion is just that, yours.
The fact that you take pleasure in it is a whole other discussion…
Time for the government to operate grocery stores selling staple items. No need for them to get into luxury goods and snacks, but a not for profit business for grains, flour, fruits, vegetables, dairy and bread etc would be nice. Keep those costs down and they can create additional measures to stabalize costs.
Like Co-op grocery stores but an actual co-op with better prices.
Maybe give extra food expiring to food banks could help a ton too, instead of being evil and throwing it away.
So Russians can be in perpetual war and suffer for an indefinite amount of time, or simply just get rid of Putin …
What the hell are they waiting for? why isn’t Putin behind bars already.
