...Hold up, is the crux of your argument seriously "America is the only country in the world"? This might be a really radical idea for you but when people describe the way they think things should be, they usually don't mean "but only within the legal framework of this specific place".
Since you can "literally" show me thousands of examples that I'm wrong (as opposed to doing so figuratively), I thought I'd return the favor. Also, I set a maximum price of $500,000 per apartment for salejust to make it harder.
I'm bored, I'm stopping now. You've already been wrong 12,217 times here though, so I'm sure it's fine.
It's really not even hard to imagine how this works, either. A real estate company builds the building, each apartment is owned by its occupant, they each use their equal share of ownership to vote in the building's resident union, appoint a president if they want, pool funds for building-wide repairs, establish dues or not, etc. Sure, people rent. Sometimes people rent in the same building where other people own the deed to their unit. But there's no requirement that an apartment building has a master who owns the homes of all the peons. Again, landlords aren't actually necessary, and we have living proof.
Let's nip one thing in the bud: me bringing up how things work in other countries is not an asspull, it does not reinforc your point of view, and it isn't irrelevant to conversations about the United States. Don't even try. If somebody in Texas complains that there should be universal health care and legal abortions, do you pinch off "Well ACKKSHYULLYYYY that isn't possible under the legal framework of the State of Texas and that's just not how things work in the 'real world' so be more realistic."? No, even you don't do that. Because you are (I assume) a sapient being who understands how context works, you would know that you can import ideas that are already in practice in one place over to a place where they are not. Which was exactly my point.
In other words, yes, pedantry. Thanks for clearing that up.
What insight is this entire line of conversation meant to add to this thread? Clearly it's something of substance, and not just pedantry about semantics, right?
My point is that landlord is more of a "real" job, if we're measuring by how essential to society they are
Landlords are essential to society in the same way that fleas are essential to dogs. Whether or not a job is a real job is based on how much value it provides to people. As in not the top 1%, there are too few of them for their wants to be relevant and they're no longer actually people anyway.
Did you miss the part where I told you this already exists? Because it does. It doesn't matter whether or not you think apartments are deeded by unit, because we're talking about the real world. If you want to get your point across, do it with some brainpower instead of "I'm Dirty Dan" ad nauseam.
In other words, you don't have any idea what you're talking about, as evidenced by the fact that you refused to answer the question. You don't get to have an opinion on something if you don't have the slightest idea of what it is or how it works, nobody does.
So is organized crime, what's your point?
It's taco filling in a hot dog bun.
Just imagine how much smaller both of these wikis would be if everyone had easy access to comprehensive mental health treatment.
Hot dogs are hot dogs, made by putting a frankfurter-style sausage in a hot dog bun. They're their own category of food in the same way that tacos are their own category of food. All opinions other than this one are wrong.
I found a photo of you
Unfortunately for you, your mind is an open book to me, and I saw this coming. Which is why I predicted that you would say this. The fact that you're doing it means you are, in doing so, admitting you're wrong. There's no going back now though, you can't undo it.
Let me spell it out for you, because even though I found over 12,000 apartments for sale, that number is still eclipsed by the number of chromosomes you have. If you want to make the argument that this is wrong because of context, you have to

if you want to know what the fuck is going on.
Just look. At this.
Topical context can change over the course of a conversation, dipshit. If you want to dispute something I'm saying, look with your eyeballs and pay attention to what I say. The right interpretation is the one I've already written out, you just have to read it.
Hang on, I just want to dissect this part. I think it's really shameful to try and recoup face when you get proven wrong, when you really should just take it on the chin and admit you're wrong. But that attitude! How humiliating must it be to desperately grasp at straws the way you're doing? Also we're not on reddit, you don't have to try and add a pithy mic drop destruction 100 big chungus among sus moment, knock that shit off.

And you have the audacity to call me dense? Motherfucker, you're so damned dense you hit the point by accident and didn't even notice. And then, without a trace of irony, you go on to parrot your own point as if you like the way the words sound so much you just couldn't resist. This isn't the pot calling the kettle black, this is a neutron star calling a balloon dense.
I'm not even going to address the fact that the ownership schema of a condominium works differently from apartment ownership in other countries. Frankly, you've proven that you'd refuse to understand even if you weren't too fucking stupid.
This conversation has reached its end. If you have any decency, you will respond either by apologizing to me for wasting my time, or not at all.
