@MillieOfferman @mattyglesias We can just as easily have other constructed rights: maybe the penalty for any landlord failing to pass a spot surprise habitability inspection is 1 year of free rent to a tenant? That would go far to cure egregious lack of maintenance in properties rented to the public

@MillieOfferman @mattyglesias What’s morally repugnant is to enlist’s the state’s support in eviction when you are willing to accept only gains, but never losses, from life’s vicissitudes.

@MillieOfferman @mattyglesias Yes, both are constructed rights.

@MillieOfferman @mattyglesias Property owners’ rights are neither infinite nor absolute. Try opening up drug rehab facility in your house in a residential street and claiming “but its MY PROPERTY” and you will understand this. Eviction is not some inherent right granted by the universe

@GOPsickandtired @mattyglesias No i think losing a house because of missing few mortgage payments is arbitrary and totally unnecessary. It’s just made-up rules. Instead if a tenant is non-paying, the bank must suspend collection

@foodandphotos8 @mattyglesias Force majeure, ie the loss of a job, can suspend the obligation to pay for some time

@mattyglesias There is a balance of risks and return. High returns and free money comes with responsibility to accept void periods and losses as part of the social contracr. No man is an island

@EricLevitz Lolol: so private equity = diversity!!! That’s the argument? They must have a super creative PR team and journalists who are as gullible as can be

@NeverSayClever @mattyglesias One absurd pro-oligarch thing is more than enough to show you are not on the side of working families. We democrats are doomed with ideas like this

@NeverSayClever @mattyglesias The vulgarity is more in your relentless support for, and avid bootlicking of, oligarch tax problems. You know who needs tax help? The working class. Have you heard of False Consciousness?

@NeverSayClever @mattyglesias Im only saying someone like you, who caters to every whim of the rich, would find it more comfortable there, rather than to dilute the views of the majority of the working people in the Democratic party. Since when did we spend any effort crying over unrealized freaking gains??
