    Really? Because over here in this western democracy, we’ve got employment contracts and renter protections that make the first two impossible.

    I also find it hilarious to place a Facebook ban on the same level as unemployed homelessness.

        Not every western democracy is the united states.

          Can I not talk about where I am? It’s a problem my state is facing.

            You can. The whole post itself was about the US. You just replied to someone who was talking about another country with “at will” like it invalidated their experience.

              “this” isn’t very specific…

                Nope. It’s just specifically not the US.

                  US has employment contracts and renter protections.

                    Employment contracts are a rare exception in the US.

      Renter protections in the UK are worth fuck all. You might have a 12 month contract, but if the landlord wants you gone they just choose not to renew.

      You either suck the landlords dick or start looking for a new landlords dick to suck.

      Anyone that thinks otherwise has clearly never been a tennant, the balance of power is almost completely one sided.

        Renter protection in the Netherlands is pretty great. Once a rental contract is renewed, it automatically becomes a contract with no fixed term. If your landlord wants you out after that 1 chance, they’ll have to get a judge to approve it.
