It's a bad business to be in Ray, and it's being suggested that it's the renters' fault.Agreed. This type of business is not for everybody. Some people get into it thinking their only challenges is collecting the rent and paying the bills. Cities and states think all landlords are sitting on a pile of cash naked and rolling around in it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy what I do, but it's almost a full-time job and you have to love it in order to make it work.
I haven't been on a vacation in 30 years or more. I'm retired now, but when I was working, I spent all my vacation time at home catching up on projects I couldn't get to. At the age of 61, I have yet to see an ocean in my life outside of television or the window of an airplane. Now I'm not complaining. I signed onto this. What I object to is when government believes my investment is a social obligation to the public, and they can tell me what I can charge for rent, who I must keep as a tenant, and who I can throw out.
Excellent! You're facing up to the facts in America.Landlords have abused tenants? No, tenants have been stiffing landlirds for years, and here you are openly encouraging more of it. Where is your god damn integrity? You singed an agreement, he supplied the house, and you stiff him?
Youre a fucking douche.
And if the customers are truly American they won't mind paying more for the same or less quality than they can get elsewhere?Manufacturing can return if the companies want to pay considerably more than overseas labor. But if a company it truly american it will happily do that.
Money is part of the solution Ray. But a huge problem in America is people who are wealthy enough to send their kids to private schools, then think they don't have to uphold and support the public school system.The point I was making is that throwing more money at the problem won't help very much. When somebody from another country tells me we don't "fund our schools enough" is rather insulting given how much we do spend.
Now as for financial inequity, I believe if you took kids from an upper-class neighborhood, and put them in these lower funded schools, they would continue to be good students. While at the same time, if you took those kids in lower-income areas, and sent them to those upper-middle-class areas to attend school, their grades won't be that much different either.
Money is not the solution to this problem.

Yes! The wealthy will move out of the country rather than pay a living wage.The wealthy will do what they've been doing for decades starting with the big union days, and that is move out of the country or invest in more automation to replace humans. Automation has taken more jobs from workers than any other action.

Those are the same people that others are saying will be good Americans who won't seek out the most lucrative marketplace overseas.
Government must shoulder some of the blame for not ensuring those businesses stay in America.
But how could government do that if not turning to 'socialist' policies being impressed on capitalism? Is that something Trump would consider doing?

America's public school system is scorned for it's low quality.
Capitalism must always include a healthy mix of 'socialism'.
A public school system is 'socialism' at work and Americans know it and they hate it!
We're establishing how fkd up America is Ray, we're just not yet finding agreement on the reasons.
Even if he manages to get a house, his ex-landlord will sue him, win and seize the house. Then the deadbeat will owe the bank hundreds of thousands he can’t pay, have no house, won’t be able to rent an apartment without a huge deposit and some kind of rider on the lease allowing immediate eviction on failure to pay rent. He will be homeless and blaming everyone except himself where the entire blame lies.They'll never collect from you because you're a leech but they will get a judgement against you which will screw your credit and keep you from obtaining a house. The bank will not loan you a dime.
It's a bad business to be in Ray, and it's being suggested that it's the renters' fault.
It is! It's America's fault. Some will even call it black people's fault.
Sounds like you're making out to be the unsuccessful bum Ray, while blaming others for not finding jobs.
Was it your fault or was it America's fault for not providing the opportunities that paid well?
You're sounding a lot like a victim of 'income inequality'.
You've almost convinced me that Americans are lazy bums who don't want to work. That's what you're trying to do right?
I've offered some 'other' reasons for the problem but you're choosing to ignore them. Do you have anything more that can convince me that Americans are lazy bums who just don't want to work?
1. jobs that don't pay a wage that's attractive enough.
2. low paying jobs in some other region.
3. False unemployment rate from government.
4. Jobs that don't provide HC.
You did say please. But I don't think you really wanted to know. We'll see how you deal with those answers.
Can you think of any more please?
Then you have Detroit, a wasteland of abandoned housing where the government will sell you a house for next to nothing if you promise to fix it up, live in it and pay taxes.Landlords will just start abandoning the properties. No rent, repairs won't be made. That clogged toilet, take the rent you didn't pay and hire a plumber. When the tax bill comes due and isn't paid, what do you think happens? The property is foreclosed upon. The state is not obligated to abide by restrictions on landlords. Don't worry Blackrock is ready to make the purchase.
No, we have a government problem, because while government doesn't worry about budgets and spending less than it earns, Business has to. When government wants to spend more than it makes, it either borrows money or prints it and spends it anyway. Business has to look at revenue and make sure things like labor costs don't exceed revenue. Really, this is not rocket surgery.If the govt pays more than alot of jobs, we have a wage problem. Big time. It's rather disgusting. Shameful.
People born middle class or poor can be president. Neither Clinton, or Obama came from wealth.Yes, communists and socialists do want people to have a place to live.
You're effectively saying that America's capitalists don't.
Your country is as fukked up as Americans claim it is.
That's mostly because the working people's attitudes are fukked up. They still believe that if they work hard they will be the president! The very wealthy want you to keep on believing!
You know very little about America. If parents elect to send their kids to private school, they still have to pay the same taxes. Hell private school isn’t even a tax write-off and never has been. That’s one reason people are trying so hard for a school voucher system. Then your tax dollars would follow your kids. The high performing schools would get more money, the failing schools would die on the vine. The only students going to bad schools would be the ones whose parents don’t care about education. Rewarding performance is how you achieve excellence, not by rewarding failure.Money is part of the solution Ray. But a huge problem in America is people who are wealthy enough to send their kids to private schools, then think they don't have to uphold and support the public school system.

I just posted two in recent memory. Now I’ll admit that neither had any idea of doing real work, Clinton was a professional politician and Obama was a lawyer who only practiced at being a community organizer. But neither was even upper middle class when elected to the presidency and both became wealthy while in office.If they can be president why are they never elected? Why only wealthy men who have no clue what it's like to work?
