Aww, you almost lost your tenth home when you threw that tenant out on the street? That sounds so hard for you!

Excerpt from article: "What are the repercussions of these policies? For me, the first of every month, when rent is due, is nerve-racking. I cross my fingers and pray that my tenants pay. I’ve had to evict only one tenant in 10 years from a house I own. That process depleted our savings so much that we may sell that house to recover. Other small landlords lost tens of thousands of dollars when their tenants stopped paying rent during the COVID rent freeze and either sold their buildings at a loss or drew down their own savings."

The media posts so many of these small landlord whine-pieces. "I hate big landlords too!" Yeah okay Josh. your bio says you worked in finance, moved "property development" and already own 12 units.

This is mentioned in Capital (I had to check my own notes), but I'm talking about this idea of metabolism between man (society) and "nature" which changes the given into useful products for us. All of our activity is essentially this process of metabolism e.g. making things useful in a certain sense

Labor can still create use-values which are not commodities, and therefore labor is:
> a condition of human existence which is independent of all forms of society, it is an eternal natural necessity which mediates the metabolism between man and nature, and therefore life itself. (Capital Vol. 1, pg. 133)

Yeah, the PLO was originally hoping for a Pan-Arab state. Your source conveniently leaves out the rest of the line in its original charter though which explicitly mentions developing Palestinian nationalism. It's a tragedy that there is no nation to give such support to liberation these days.

Article 24. This Organization does not exercise any regional sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, on the Gaza Strip or the Himmah Area. Its activities will be on the national popular level in the liberational, organizational, political and financial fields.

Article 25. The Organization is encharged with the movement of the Palestinian people in its struggle to liberate its homeland in all liberational, organizational, political, and financial matters, and in all other needs of the Palestine Question in the Arab and international spheres.

In Chicago we have people from one of the richest neighborhoods in the city calling for the removal of migrants, by force if necessary. Their crime? Being seen and "lowering property values". It's getting more and more clear that "no kids in camps" was just empty sloganeering.

Residents also complained about the existing migrant shelters in the West Loop. Complaints ranged from concerns over property values to migrants loitering and panhandling in the streets.

“Is it illegal for them to be panhandling and begging for money? They have signs in English that say ‘I need money’ and I’m like, ‘Well, they don’t understand English, they don’t speak English, where are you getting these signs?’ Can I call and have them removed?” said one resident.

Still, residents pushed back, warning officials that they are unwilling to bear the load of any more migrant shelters.

“We’re the ones paying for this. And if you keep setting us up because we’re being respectful… we’re gonna come out in arms,” said another resident.

Always nice to make landlords so angry they post photos of me and the tenant union on Twitter. It's also funny that this guy thinks the social-democrat alderman is starting communist organizations to smear local landlords

Twitter post from Chicago Kid (@chilandlord) which reads: "These organizations are all put together via Rosa cronies both online and at the local farmers market. Since Rosa lost his defamation suit against Fishman he needs others to carry the water. Note he never brings him up now either Rosa relies on division of others... hateful stuff." Below is a photo of me standing in front of an NSRA tenant union banner with a megaphone. Next to me is the tenant union table. The photo is taken from across the street.

I was curious, and it's a little disappointing. It's a very generic Italian cognoscenti apartment. www.nytimes.com/1981/06/21/books/vi…

ITALO CALVINO returned last fall to his native Italy after an absence of 15 years in France. He now occupies a spacious duplex in a 17th-century palazzo two blocks away from the Pantheon, in the center of Rome's prestigious Centro historico. Its decor is of distilled and signorial elegance: stark white walls alternating with walls filled floor-to-ceiling with books, ultramodern seating arrangements upholstered in lush suedes and leathers, doorways of travertine, vitrines filled with art nouveau glass, an extensive collection of primitive African sculpture assembled dramatically among large tropical plants.

It's just completely naive. How do you expect to get the necessary adoption? Money isn't a technical problem, it's a social one. And no offense, but I don't think the crypto tech with this in it's manifesto has a good handle on the political and social issues of economics:
