1\ CBC over here punching down. Imagine being so entitled as to buy land and just assume that gives you the right to lay claim to the incomes of people already living on it. Stories like these close the circle between landlording and chattel slavery. cbc.ca/news/business/…
2\ "I'm Marco. I gamed the system to hoard housing. It's literally my job to beg banks for help with that! Here's why I'm entitled to 2/3 your income. If you don't pay my costs, the bank says I can make you homeless. Here's @CBCCanada to help dress you down in public." #Landlords
3\ We talk about "copaganda" and recognize that when we see it. What's the term for this kind of 4th estate hagiography of the rentier class? This @cbcgopublic writer manages to combine obsequious deference, a miscomprehension of power dynamics and a tone of class antagonism.
4\ What if there was REALLY a funded "Go Public" arm of the state broadcaster to air abuse/overreach in the halls of power? Journalists paid to rattle the cage. What they do now is just "consumer advocacy". And, if you don't own land, landlords get to consume you. 😉
5\ Look, if Marco is struggling without having access to someone else's income (and I mean like, really struggling) he should remember that the first step toward solving your financial problems is unsubscribing from Disney+.
