Economic Inequality

[Joe]

"Always look on the bright side of life, doo de do, de do didally didally do"

You know.....we really do not know how they were built. It's only a guess that a bunch of slaves did it using ramps but even that is pretty incredible considering.

They are "wonders" for a reason.

I'm not saying "aliens did it". But we really dont know how those were built or really why they were built.

I spoke with an Egyptian woman once.

And she told me that slaves built it.
So I guess her Ancient Egyptian ancestors were slaves & they passed the stories on word of mouth to their descendants.

I said, "Those pyramids are magnificent!"

She said "Yeah but they were built with a kind of slavery. "

I said, "Really?"

"Yeah." She said almost with a sigh of resignation.

So even their descendants seem to have a memory of what their ancestors endured. It's almost as if that pain gets passed down through the generations. And they 'remember'.

I think the Pharoahs inflicted a Lotta cruelty on their own people to make themselves 'great'. It wasn't just the people of Israel they oppressed.

Everyone says slaves did it. But the issue is HOW. How on the earth did slaves build those?

I don't buy they used ramps.

...water and canals.

I think the stones were made out of limestones and they could float.

Like the Aztec pyramids, there was once a lake surrounding them I believe.
And as the water levels rose, that's how they got the stones up there.

I believe they used dams to control the water flow and they transported the stones down the Nile river.

I don't really think it works like that.

That seems more far fetched than saying aliens did it.

The Egyptians had their own building systems and devices to lift and push those stones. I don't they used sheer brute strength alone to lift those rocks. Not sure but there may be some hieroglyphs which gave hints of the the process they used.

i wonder how many homeless live in his house

hint: zero

Do you actually think that would be some sort of solution? SMH

no but if hes gonna talk, walk the walk

It's not his job to house the homeless. Homelessness is a huge societal issue, and you can't blame a private person for the problem, or call him out because he didn't make a fruitless and stupid gesture to mollify you in your illogical blame game.

We have a homeless problem in my city too.

One solution might be to discourage land hoarding and root out proxy buyers. There is no reason that anyone needs more than 1 home & perhaps a vacation home for themselves.

I think it's OK for people to have a mansion and large property if the can afford it.

It's just that don't need 10 of them.

No one can physically live in 10 homes simultaneously anyway.

For that reason I think that land hoarders should be taxed heavily to release a badly needed housing supply onto the market.

Heavy restrictions should be placed on foreign busers too.

We dont know how they did it. We have educated guesses only.....that's really what makes them so interesting.

Where would that stop, though? Once the government starts regulating things like that? Why stop there and not start deciding how big of a home people should have? If a mansion has several rooms and there are still homeless people why not stop allowing people to have homes with more bedrooms than they need?

And why not come in and stop people from being in homes too small or that do not fit some regulation standards?(something we kind of already have depending on the state). I know in a few blue states regulations dont allow people to live in any structure that isnt hooked up to plumbing. Even with people shitting on the sidewalk....they cant use compost toilets. They HAVE to be in a shelter or on the street over having a tiny house that doesnt meet stupid "regulations"

What about people who rent out properties?

 

[Dove]

And how long would it be until home ownership itself wasnt a thing and the states just issued homes? And you still pay for it?

maybe the 'for free' renters suffer frequent home invasions by bat weilding thugs

a pity..

I've seen some pretty big mansions & Estates @Dove. I think it's OK for people to own 1...just not 10 of them. There should be a limit so that there is a sufficient supply.

Likewise if you & your girls go to a clothing sale it might not be unusual for the store to place a limit on some of the items you buy. Ie limit of 4 per customer. Is that socialism? Or does the store simply want to prevent certain buyers from hogging or hoarding their share which would prevent others from buying them?

 

[Biggie Smiles]

Socialist shitbags never have a solid solution for anything. Just blame, whining and complaining

The problem is Joe once you hand that power over it's gone. It doesnt matter what you personally think anymore. Your freedom of choice is gone and now left to other people who can now tell you they dont think even 1 mansion is okay.

Literally all I ever see from them. They point out issues and talk to people like we are pieces of shit and that's about it.

Well Dovey in my city it's Asians namely offshore Chinese who bought most of the prime real estate pushing up land prices and rents. So it's not even locals Who created that situation.

So I think the government should come down hard on them. Yknow many countries don't even allow them to come in and hoard their land like that. They know that so they come to places like Canada Australia and the States, hoard the land jack up their rents and throw locals out onto the street.

But in some countries the governments actually seized the land from them like South Africa.

So there's no rhyme nor reason why foreigners should be allowed to by land anywhere except where they came from.

That's a whole different topic. Whether or not foreigners should be able to buy up properties is an entirely different convo.

....but that is a major source of land hoarding which helps to create economic inequality in other countries - China. So it's not totally unrelated to this OP.

No I'm just saying that's a different convo than limiting citizens from buying what they want.

Purchases that are not violating rights are things the gov should stay out of. BUT since our government is supposed to serve US the whole foriegn countries buying up OUR land should be regulated AF imo.

I dont really think foreigners should be able to buy any land here unless they have citizenship and plan to use it for the benefit of THIS country. If that's people living on it? Cool. Farming on it to sell food here, to the community? Cool.

America shouldnt be the worlds whore for other countries to use for their benefit, taking up our land and using to enrich themselves somehow and contribute nothing to America.

...water and canals.

I think the stones were made out of limestones and they could float.

Like the Aztec pyramids, there was once a lake surrounding them I believe.
And as the water levels rose, that's how they got the stones up there.

Limestone doesn't float, Joe. No rocks float. Rocks are heavy. I haul them around, as a job...

The really interesting part is how they'd managed to get the foundation perfectly leveled... Even modern laser-levels couldn't have done a better job!
