The "decent idea" Britschgi is talking about: do a real-life Billy Jack movie and give federal land that rightfully belongs to Indigenous people to real estate developers. https://ino.to/tn0O4nl
@KevinCarson1 I pretty much tune out his bylines after the obtuse responses on this one: https://twitter.com/elfprince13/status/1344346777575632898
@elfprince13 But then landlord bootlicking is Britschgi's main beat.
@KevinCarson1 I have nothing against landlords *in principal* and think a healthy freed market will continue to see renting as part of the housing ecosystem (there is actual value in delegating the assumption of risk, especially for folks in short-term situations), but knee-jerk defense of every form of “privatize profits, socialize negative externalities” is quintessential vulgar libertarianism.
@elfprince13 That's extremely obtuse. Also legally illiterate. Property -- even individual, fee-simple, capitalist property -- is a bundle of rights, and some components of that bundle change possession in a rental relationship. If the tenant doesn't have a property right, then what does their rent pay for?
