OK, miss the Reddit hive mind as little as anyone else here, but I laughed.

"Your mom" has always, and will always be golden comedy material.

Some openings are just too easy not to take.

It's honest work.

The United States was dealt its final blow half a century ago at the hands of an Alzheimer's patient by the name of Ronald Reagan.

This is the necrotic stage.

Canada is a mythical place. Like you can have universal healthcare and bilingual education.

As you wish.

There's still hope!

A human is definitely generating more value than the parking space, it's just most of it is being stolen by greedy capitalists.

They’re making us lose our reasons for living. Life’s too hard and not worth it at this stage. Feel bad for all the babies born everyday. The majority of them are going to have hard lives and grow up too hate every second of it most of the rest of the world.

Then we need to bring violence to boardrooms and executives homes.

Turn that sadness into anger, turn the anger in a deep, boiling rage. You know where to direct it, dismantle the whole system little by little. You know who are the guilty ones, we all do

[–] orrk 7 points 10 months ago (3 children)

oh, you don't think that the capitalist don't want that? who do you think is going to take power in a revolution?

look back, it is always an authoritarian aristocracy.

if you want to make the world better for the working class, we need to enact reforms, not revolutions.

But have you considered there is also less demand for you than a downtown Toronto parking space?? Ha! Check mate!

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)
  1. I dispute that, you haven't seen me striptease yet

  2. More that it's a matter of negotiation leverage. Rich folk find it hard to outwait other rich folk regarding property prices. Poor folk, though? We have a matter of days before we collapse because of our silly 'human needs' and such, which makes it imperative that we be kept desperate, lest our pay even vaguely reflect the amount of surplus value extracted from us.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So what I am hearing is, not only is that parking space a harder worker than you, that pulled itself up by the ~~boot straps~~ concrete slabs, it is also a more talented negotiator than you. Shame.

If you squat the parking space does that mean you can raise demand for yourself enough to receive higher compensation than the parking space alone?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I was looking at Toronto real estate just for the lulz the other day... 150k$ to buy a parking space... First thing I found surprising is that you can buy a parking space (wtf?) But even more surprising... They sell for more than I paid for my condo 10 minutes from downtown Ottawa 10 years ago 😐

[–] HeyJoe 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you could rent it out for the 27 an hour like they stated above you could start seeing a return in as little as 5 years. Sounds like a great investment.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

It's an amazing investment because it pays for itself AND its value will increase because managers are idiots and are bringing people back to the office.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Catch being you have to live in Ottawa.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (2 children)

This is the feudal stage of capitalism where the rich recaptured all the real estate and are making tons of profit just sitting on it.

Don't open a business downtown unless you have a damn good reason for it. It's a massive real estate monopoly.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Yeah, um, we are going to need y'all to return to the office for, um, "productivity" reasons.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Just looked at a studio apartment at my old complex. It's $2,995 a month. About $100 a day, assuming a 30-day month. You need to pay hotel prices just to live in a studio apartment (with a lease) here.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Try having less thoughts and feelings maybe?
