Dave Ramsey is trending because he said it was okay to raise rent on an apartment, even if your tenants can’t afford the rent.
I’ll do him one better: it’s not just okay. It’s beneficial to the economy.

WHY CAPITALISM IS BETTER THAN SOCIALISM (thread)
Many socialists characterize anti-socialists as reactionaries who are fooled by billionaire propaganda into rejecting policies that would help them or that we don't know what socialism really means.
Let's start by defining terms.
