I already hate my always-online, have to use their shit app robot vacuum that gets worse after each update. I can’t imagine buying a new, overpriced car these days and having it do all the same shit.
Paying rent for land. Unfortunately it’s been that way since feudalism and the progressive movements over the last few hundred years haven’t managed to break out of it

Spyware. Make it stop.
Democracy.
This world is what people voted for? Yeah?
Fake elections, fake democracy. The president of USA is a puppet controlled by secret societies, and thats why nothing ever changes.
People cant even choose candidates. Everyone has to be rich to be president. Because money is what controls people. If you dont have that greed, you cant be controlled by the system. Thats why everyone powerful is rich.
You mean democracy in the US, not all over the world.
If you have a functioning example of democracy I have a bridge to sell you.
There’s a lot of worse options out there but western democracy on the whole doesn’t really represent the “demos” in any real sense - that’s both good and bad of course, but it’s also not democracy.

The whole Trump administration and all of the lies, including all of the so called, assasination attempts. Don’t believe a thing coming out from that circus.
I moved to Chicago a few years. I go to rent an apartment. It has a “move-in” fee.
I’m like what’s that.
Oh it’s $500 that you don’t get back.
I say. What about the deposit? They say. Oh yeah we don’t require that. Isn’t that great ,?
I’m like. So move in fee is my deposit but it’s just guaranteed I won’t get it back.
Them: well it’s different. It’s a move in fee. We don’t require a deposit but if you don’t clean out the apartment to this list of specifications, we will charge you per item you miss.
Example. Refrigerator not cleaned :$150 Floors not clean : $200
Etc.
So I was super unhappy about this and complained to anyone who would listen. To which my new Chicago neighbors and friends were like “that’s how it’s always been here,”
Bro. Y’all getting fucked. Hard. Non refundable deposit where you still have to clean out the old apartment.
Wtf. Should be illegal.
that’s why you stiff em the last month’s rent
Just give your landlord a burner phone number. Don’t even clean the jizz stains when you leave.
What the fuck? So it’s just a deposit you’re garuanteed to not get back? What if you don’t “miss” anything when cleaning up? You’re not getting your money back anyway so why clean anything when you’re moving out?
Yeah there was a whole list of things and the fine for not cleaning the items. So you had to make sure you got it super clean or you would get all the fines.
Of which amounted to something close to $1000.
I spent 2 days cleaning it when I moved out to make sure I didn’t get any of the fines.
You can basically get black listed as a renter if you don’t clean well.
Oh you know… vaguely gestures at everything
