How is it always the landlords that end up defending their disgusting practices.

All landlords are rich people that hoard land and then, if they're inefficient, hold it hostage in exchange for many times its worth.

It is literally the explicit purpose. And yes, some landlords own inns, that they rent to inn keepers and proprietors that then sublet. They do not run the inns if theyre landlords.

It quite literally is. That's the purpose of being a landlord, exclusively, is to lord over land and expand your domain with the profits.

All landlords are leeches, all landlords would rather leave homes empty than rent them as long as the line goes up, all landlords exist still lely to make money from having money.

That's nice dear, any comments on this article which has nothing whatsoever to do with car infrastructure?

Just a reminder, they're just better at being landlords. All landlords, every single one, is responsible for this, they were just too inefficient to raise rents this high this fast before becoming conglomerates.

There's really no other answer as they have forgotten the lessons of their forebearers. When the working class can take no more they do not die, they kill. They don't mean to, they don't want to, they would rather slowly die than kill, but they kill all the same.

Employers used to be dragged out into the street along with their family and beat to death in front of their family if they failed to provide a fair deal to their employees; even as capital paid for protection in the military or police, that did nothing to stop the workers, as workers are not slaves and are not raised to understand themselves as such.

As capital once again ruins the good will that keeps it alive, this will just happen more and more. It takes one bad day to make a good person decide that suicide is not an adventure for a single person.

Not really. Certainly some "encryption" algorithms or really implementations have backdoors, but RSA for example doesn't. Encryption is only worthwhile if it's mathematically sound, and you can't backdoor mathematics without some random undergrad working on their maths degree figuring out for fun.

Crazy that Marx and Engels weren't socialists.

Open source doesn't mean free by default.

Less than 20% of the Israeli population was upset at their government during the height of internal disapproval when the protests were going on. If that's the standard to overthrow a nation, then Mexican immigrants should be in charge of Canada and the US.

A) they don't double dip on the marketplace, developers (or publishers) get the steam tax on all items sold there.

B) maybe, but they provide unlimited nonrate capped downloads for eternity for your game, including free unlimited downloads and uploads of workshop items. Bandwidth isn't cheap at scale, you could spend >50% of your income as a small dev on distribution, or for 30% you get everything steam provides for eternity for all your players.

Incorrect, steam allows for lower prices and give aways if steam keys you request... As long as it's not the base price. That's how humble bundle works. That's how every dev give away works.

The "devs" in this case want to sell access to the steam version of their game for lower than the steam price, on a permanent basis. Which is against steams rules, because steam provides a service that needs to be paid for, one that is worth far more than the 30% cut.
