If your wife was only clearing 100 per month in profit from a rental house you all must be just amazingly bad at whatever you were doing and should have sold the house as soon as you weren’t living in it. Rent has skyrocketed and home value continually risen quickly for the last 40 years. I’m not even sure how this is possible.

Standard rent is at least 1-1.5% of current not original value per month and taxes are about that per year.

you probably bought for 150 you earned 100,000 when it ballooned up to 250k rented it for at least 2500 a month x24 months or 60,000 paid 6000 each to taxes and management pocketed another 48,000

When you sold realizing that cool 100k you naturally had to do all the repairs and upkeep you had been putting off so you ended up coming out of pocket for “thousands”

In the end you netted 140k for doing 10 hours work once whereas the median worker earns 200-250

You probably charged here so much to ensure you made the “market rate” eg people like you that she had no funds saved to actually move and you probably nickel and dimed her deposit away for stuff that was actually on you.

Where am I wrong?

You could literally read the Wikipedia entry

Of course racism is possible vs anyone it’s simply a word for pre judgement based on race. If Animus is based on what is actually happening right now it’s arguably not racism it’s simply a correct judgment call. The French as a group were at war with the Haitians but you still can’t morally slaughter non combatants.

I hate the attempt to remove a definition of the word racism from the dictionary and replace its definition with something closer to systemic racism or oppression.

What word then means prejudgements based on race?

Of course the oppressed can’t oppress the oppressor but anyone can prejudge based on race which has been a valid definition of racism for a very long time.

The Frenchs behavior was abhorrent but this doesn’t absolve anyone from the requirement to be moral themselves.

Murdering women and children isn’t resisting genocide it’s just plain old genocide same as if we had put German civilians into their own ovens after ww2.

Were those civilians complicit. Largely I feel that the answer is yes. But we are required to be moral ourselves even when faced with immorality.

Show me the sources for where Hitler ordered the holocaust. You can. I can. But I think if you need them it might not be worth my time to bother. This genocide happened.

When you massacre non-combatants, women, and children as factually did happen its genocide. The fact that not all jews were killed doesn’t negate for instance that the holocaust happened. For every genocide there are apologists. The fact that the french as a people may logically be deemed to be more deserving of reciprocal violence doesn’t justify it because violence is done to individuals by individuals. They could have forcibly relocated the people or allowed them to be re-located especially the old, women, and children. They broadly committed mass murder. The fact that the french did much worse doesn’t make those immoral acts moral.

Anti-colonialism is not genocide

Genocide is genocide.

No he didn’t. They killed the guilty and the innocent making no effort to distinguish between them. The soldiers mostly escaped whereas civilians were murdered. In fact most people in Haiti had little stomach for the sort of purge of French women and children he desired to the point where it doesn’t happen until he tours a particular settlement.

One can argue all day long he was revenging very legit harms but it doesn’t make him less of a monster and his people ultimately agreed and murdered him.

Many are quite shitty with specs that are mostly fabricated and at best they really need to touch skin and the effects don’t necessarily last long best case. If you are going to GTFO pepper spray is better it’s not foiled by clothes and it gives you distance.

No I’m not. I’m highlighting how bad the current situation is and how bad it is likely to get

Obama focused on recent unauthorized border crossers and people who were actually criminals whilst allowing lawful claims of asylum, protecting dreamers and those who would face harm at home and benignly ignoring long term people contributing. During his last year they spent $6B

Trump

• budgeted 200B this year alone to hire an army with the promise of imprisoning or deporting 25M people (more than actually exist)

• Separated children whilst losing thousands of them to punish people for coming here with the intent that fear of losing their children might keep them out

• Has armed gangs of anonymous thugs disappearing people off the streets with limited to zero due process.

• States that due to an invasion we don’t need to give anyone due process

• Has asserted in court that we can can send them abroad to areas where we know they will be tortured and killed

• Has deported people to countries they are not from

• Has deported people to a torturous hell hole based on false claims of criminality

• When one person was singled out as innocent he had his justice department trump up charges to pretend the original claim was real

• Is building the American Auschwitz

• Has claimed that children of unlawful immigrants are not citizens despite the constitution states that he is the only authority his people should follow on the law not the courts

• Punishes students for speaking out by yanking visas and imprisoning them in legal limbo

• Has said that getting rid of legal immigrants who don’t belong here (non-whites) is the “next job”

• Took out a full page ad in a major national paper calling for the lynching of black teens who turned out to be innocent

• Discriminated against non-whites in both housing and employment

• Has ice agents as we speak racial profiling and punishing people for being non-white see the 82 year old grandpa originally from Chile who was sent to die in Guatemala while keeping his family in the dark about his kidnapping. He a legal resident was kidnapped while at an office seeking a replacement green card for the one he had mislaid.

As only around 12M actual illegal immigrants actually exist and its impossible in any reasonable length of time to deport even that number in any sane length of time we are going to fill concentration camps with millions of people more people than we have ever incarcerated. An operation of the size they contemplate run merely as slipshod as the one he is already running will inevitably snag innumerable American citizens who shall be sent to the camps alongside their immigrant neighbors.

Many citizens and immigrants are going to die. Die of violence. Die of sickness. Die of privation.

Does ANYTHING above sound like life under Obama? But by all means keep pushing the both sides narrative.

ICE wasn’t formed by the BBB but under Trump it has fundamentally altered its character and method of operating in a way that will inevitably destroy the lives of millions and probably kill many of them and the BBB expand its funding which was 6B in the last year before Trump V1 to 200B under Trump v2.

To hold people who actually ought to be deported whilst giving them the benefit of legal counsel and ultimately returning them to the actual countries they came from and never for political reprisals.

https://legalunitedstates.com/which-senators-voted-for-the-big-beautiful-bill/

All Democrats and three Republicans—Thom Tillis (NC), Rand Paul (KY), and Susan Collins (ME)—voted against the bill.

Same story in the house. Only republicans are fully and totally responsible for this.

The republicans just funded a gestapo force which is rounding up brown people (some of them citizens) to take them to concentration camps where some and probably soon all of them are going to start dying.

Recently an 82 year old legal permanent resident originally from Chile where he fled the horror story we kick started decades ago was nabbed whilst replacing his lost green card and is now on deaths door in Gautama where we left him to die on the street whilst lying to his family so they couldn’t help him.

Please tell me this is the same as life under Obama.

The thief would have to prove that they were harmed by a particular person. Meanwhile such attacks are in public places people are moving through hit and run style. Police response times are long on non-emergency issues and the last thing the thief wants is police contact.

A: The thief doesn’t call the cops B: If the thief does call the cops the person is gone, C: If they follow you are being followed by someone who tried to harm you pepper spray them D: the police do not meaningfully investigate the thief’s claims if they are alone E: if both parties are present the police don’t care about petty crimes they didn’t see and therefore can’t prove so let everyone go F: If you got harmed reaching into someone’s purse they are liable to prosecute the thief not the victim if anyone especially if they admit they had their hand in your purse G: if the thief does try to sue its in small claims court for actual damages which are small and creates a record of their identity allowing you to popularize their face and identity in the local area as the thief who sued his victim. Seriously start putting up posters with their face around the area. Loss of illicit revenue will be higher than gains. Hopefully they also get stomped later.

Since all of these things are implicitly obvious and most importantly the first rule being a hood is avoid police contact we basically normally always stop at 1.

This is bullshit logic. In the last 40 years the government has served the interests of the few and half the time is literally elected by the minority that would have lost the election in most democracies.

Also actions are a moral reflection on you alone not the victims

The majority of shoplifting is organized effort to sell shit online or to fund a drug habit. Why because only a drug addict will spend more hours stealing than you do working and he will by himself steal more than 40 casual thieves because he’s motivated

This just isn’t true because mugging and pick pocketing are different crimes done in different circumstances. People who are willing to risk a small amount of non violent risk don’t just accept a much larger risk in crowded circumstances where they are unlikely to get away with it.

Instead they are likely to commit other crimes or the same in more amenable circumstances. Criminals have bad risk assessment not none

Prove it. Police response time for non-emergancy issues could easily be 30+ minutes after which i would have moved on. Also investigatory resources for cases that aren’t gift wrapped or murders are about nil.

Civil cases for any meaningful non-small claims affair are going to start at 5000-10,000 and are basically unavailable for poor people. You aren’t entitled to a free lawyer.

Small claims is going to be for actual damages which are going to be about nil and are going to get you near no money and 15 minutes of fame.

Here is what actually happens. Thief endures a small amount of pain and humiliation and fucks off.

The actual risk isn’t a hypothetical lawsuit it’s that it leads to a fight where you might be injured.
