It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

landlord-spotted of course theyre a landlord

“im a pretty left leaning person but i also want to leech off peoples wages and drive up the price of housing”

oh, how magnanimous of you, barely making a profit. YOU ARE GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO PAY FOR YOUR HOUSE. it’s all profit since it all goes to equity in the houses, maintenance, or straight to their pocket. these scumbags will say anything to make themselves feel better when they know they are despicable

a bare minimum profit

YOU GET TO KEEP THE HOUSE MOTHERFUCKER. How the hell is "a free house in 30 years" not a shit load of profit? Dingus doesn't even do his own maintenance.

Doesn't even do their own landlording, they pay a property management company to do the villainy for them (pay them out of their tenants' rent checks, that is)

Literally making money for doing nothing

A free house + 200% its purchase value in appreciation so far

400k/house in 15 years? Frankly the only way to not be making profit is to actively be paying their tenants for keeping the place clean.

i tied the future of my kids to these houses, have you thought about that huh? every house you take from me you're taking from the tiny toddler hands that i personally put them in, stop being so mean :(

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

(please ignore the future of those tenants' kids and how they'll be hundreds of thousands dollars poorer because I took it from them)
