The shutdown and lockdown has been hard on people, I understand that. I am empathetic to peoples’ strife.
Some people, however, do not engender a feeling of empathy from me. They engender the desire to throw them out of a fucking helicopter.
Enter Ilhan Omar:
Now exactly how do we do that?
Who eats the cost? Does the property owner still have to pay their mortgage? Does the bank that lent the mortgage eat the cost? How long until the bank then raises prices on all the other customers to cover its losses on the mortgages not being paid?
Even the most cursory thinking about this idea shows just how bad it is.
But take a page out of her brother’s playbook and screw her. It’s her followers that really scare the shit out of me.
This is Marxist and Maoist propaganda. Marx and Mao denounced landlords as parasites.
And thus begins the murderous hatred of landlords.
One of the most horrible things that Mao did was the mass executions of landlords under his Land Reform policies.
These people knot this and are advocating for the classicide of landlords like what happened under Mao.
Then there is this guy, and boy do I feel sorry for him.
That is a legitimate question. The Progressives answered it.
Really, helpful.
I was a landlord once. I was relocated by my job and the housing market in Chicago was flooded with foreclosures. Rather than lose my entire savings selling my house at a loss, I rented it out for the cost of my mortgage. I lost money on my rental because one year I had to replace the water heater and the other I had to replace the garage door opener.
The rent I collected was just enough to pay the mortgage and taxes so I could afford my place in Omaha.
But according to the progressive Left, that made me a rich parasite that could die.
I have a buddy here in Huntsville that went through something similar after his layoff. He rented out his place to afford a place in Miami for his new job.
That makes him a rich parasite too.
I’m familiar with the stories of the slum lords of New York City, San Francisco, and other progressive places. That is a product of the rent control of those cities that makes it impossible for a landlord to turn a profit and do upkeep and renovations. It’s the fault of the politicians that housing is so bad there.
But most landlords are not that. The guys I rented from in Omaha and later Huntsville were small landlords who hired a property manager to collect the rent. The guy in Omama was military who bought a house near Offutt AFB and then was deployed so put up his home for rent. Most landlords in this country outside of a few big cities are small owners.
But to the socialists who love Ilhan Omar all of them (us) should be driven to destitution and death because we rented out a place that we own.
Forgive me if I don’t want to submit to a struggle session before being executed because I owned a rental property for a little bit.
These people are the reason I own guns.
