You literally just explained how it is a function of supply (through an artificial shortage), not income. It’s lack of competition between landlords (whether through corporate landlords buying up millions of units or lots of little landlords using RealPage to engage in collusion via algorithm), and not discretionary.

On average, people don’t pay more than a third of their income for groceries because there’s still competition in the grocery space (which is also why it was so important that Lina Khan blocked the Kroger-Albertson’s merger).

We can hate landlords and capitalism without saying nonsense about UBI.

It’s a non-reformist reform that gives people the time and freedom to organize for more radical change

Do you think the CCC & WPA were makework?

My brother in christ, do you think landlords make rent proportional to people’s income right now?

What’s the difference? Nationality? Skin color?

If anybody is still under the impression that someone somewhere in the chain of command might refuse illegal orders, this tells you everything you need to know
