Right after its independence from Britain, India brought the Zamidari Abolition Act which seized lands from feudal landowners and distributed it to farmers working under them. Such acts are now unthinkable for some reason, as if property rights are some divine gift.
Corporations should not have rights to own residential land. Even for individuals there should be limits on the land they can own. Would you hoard water? Air? No, then how can you hoard land?
Would you hoard water?
Nestle has entered the chat
The only reason nobody hoards air is that we haven't yet figured out how to do so effectively.
When we do, I hope we secure it. Maybe a planetary shield with a sophisticated combination, like 12345.
So the combination is one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
I don't know what you're talking about, I only see *****
Plenty of them do have a safety net. If you're "too big to fail," you get bailed out by the government.
So much wisdom seems impossible from a dingleberry. Lol
Ban corporate landownership.
Full stop.
Good luck with that, they have significantly more rights and fewer responsibilities than people here. Hell, corporations actually enjoy a robust social safetynet here, unlike people. Speculative investment, aka gambling at the rich lad insider rigged casino, is taxed significantly less than actual productive labor.
We humans without significant capital are second class citizens. If corporations could ride buses, we would be forced to give up our seats to protect our beloved economy.
Corporations are already attempting to buy up the land to put up timeshares. The ashes were still smoking when the vultures swooped in.
Who’s gonna buy them? Aquaman. /s
That's why they're timeshares. It's to scam idiots.
The old fashioned word for "disaster capitalism" is "profiteering".
They should be afraid, and resigned to that fate. We worship our capital holders and never place limits on them.
They aren't profiteers, they're our benevolent job creators!
Greed doesn't exist. They're just exhibiting rational self-interest!
They aren't being unethical opportunists. they're acting in the best interests of shareholders!

They aren't hurting society for private benefit. They're protecting our beloved economy!
We have always been at war with Eurasia.
This is the real conspiracy theory here. Maybe not even a conspiracy but hopefully won’t become the awful truth. I hope we are getting them the relieve needed now and after the dust settles.
Never heard of consortiumnews.com

"Mostly factual". Alright they check out
Genuinely thinking about moving to Maui if the cleanup drops prices enough.
My house is more than double it's value and im pretty sure I could break even to buy there, and I work remotely.
That’s a 👍
