    So while you lemmings are whining and crying about landlords, please try to remember, this is your fucking enemy. Not some dude renting a couple of houses and barely breaking even.

      These motherfuckers own over 80,000 properties. You are 100% right, these shit stains are the enemy. Sure wish politicians would do something about it instead of talking about building more properties for them to gobble up.

        1. Generally stopping mergers to prevent monopolies such as preventing Nvidia from buying ARM in 2022
        2. Right to repair being FTC policy from July 2021
        3. Big pharma drug prices being too high (e.g. insulin and inhalers).
        4. She at least tried some stuff against Meta and Microsoft (but those were unsuccessful) but at least she tried-more than any previous FTC chair anyway.
        5. Right in this article, housing prices, this isn’t the first landlord/owner class she’s gone against.
