People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

Fuuuuuuuuuck Amazon. There was another article mixed into this horror story with another horror story where "every day people" can invest in real estate. Basically, everyday people are paying for Amazon to buy out all of the extra real estate and price fix "the everyday people" out of living in great cities. Again, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Amazon.
What do the everyday investors get out of that then?

Hmm I can see why that would be so tempting, and also why it's so horribly dangerous and unethical. You'd literally have to pick to invest specifically in a country of people you want to fuck over for it to be anything other than turkeys voting for thanksgiving
My guess is cities are saying corporations can't own this much real estate and this is how they're trying to get around those laws. They're billion dollar companies. Plus, sure they're getting dividends now, but what happens if the market goes the other way? The billion dollar coporation isn't going to take the hit.
