  • You can’t just buy a house and sell it for a higher price. You are either flipping it to raise its value which is a lot of work or sitting and holding the house and waiting for it to appreciate. Product scalpers don’t have to-do either, nor do they have to pay interest on the loan like they would a mortgage.

    Product scalpers rely on sudden bulk purchase of a limited supply batch of products. Unless you’re a mega millionaire you can’t do that with housing. So I don’t think you should consider it unethical to buy a second home and rent out. It is a valid source of income.




  • I feel like half of xkcd is just knowledge-one ups on the reader. No fucking clue what ea-nasir is. Google says it’s some ancient merchant from Mesopotamia. Not sure how that’s humorous but I’m sure there’s a niche reason the author is very smart for observing.

    No true Scotsman, eh?

    Johny Depp? Dude lost work. It impacted him. He was cancelled.

    Kevin spacey is another one. Louis CK. These are people who had work impacted because of alleged behaviors and actions they took.

    Not gonna get more nuanced with you about it. It’s a real thing. You’ve been given plenty of examples.

    I don’t understand this community… it’s like discussion can’t be had because people’s opinions of linux get in the way of it somehow.

    I don’t have any expertise here or I would offer my thoughts. Just frustrated to see the top comments not being helpful at all.
