Horse jokes very much aside, Useless_Wooden_Knowledge on IG is posting a very informative and reasoned series of stories on Mikey Taylor and how his church connections links him Charlie Kirk or Turning Point USA and Falwell Jr (nutshell - Christian Al Qaeda Trump die-hards).
If anyone knows how to post stories, it’s worth a read. Mikey Taylor is a fucking joke, but fucking jokes become problems if they aren’t taken seriously

That’s odd you’d think he would side with his distant kin the donkeys
-
Eyew he goes to church
-
oh no I'll have to stop buying...sovrn boards? lol
-
goodcurbs was right again!
-
Don't normally go for the horse jokes but...
Far right? More like phar lap!
-
I worry none of this is going to hurt, but only help our little Franco.
-
Like other horse Nazis, he wants to take Churchill Down(s)
Sorry had to
-
He needed more money to gentrify neighborhoods with youthful liberals for his real estate pyramid scheme so he chose the easy money of far right political contributions.

Just an amoral huckster.

who the fuck cares about mikey taylor anymore? just seems like a way for that clown from the uk to garner some attention and virtue signal on ig. Useless_Wooden_Knowledge is hardly an unbiased source of "very informative and reasoned information" its a skateboard account from the UK where they have a royal family based on a "special bloodline"...give me a break. That dude is as much of a clown as mikey taylor but in the other direction.
Lol isn't UWK run by Strubing? I don't recall him being from the UK, you dumbass.

Whoever does the useless wooden knowledge thing seriously needs a hobby

Everyone knows Mikey sucks. He’s not pulling the wool over anyones eyes.

Yea, and he looks like a fuckin' horse! SLAM!

Modern Christianity is just a pyramid scheme. Perfect for Mikey.
Speaking of which, looks like buying all those followers really paid off for him.

Been meaning to post this in the lame IG thread. His reasons for being a good candidate are.....I'm good at business. He'll do whatever he can siphon political money into his apartment flips.

What did Mikey do to UWK to deserve this political smear expose'? Seems like they are reaching just a little bit.

How is it a smear when his associates are scumbags and Mikey isn't acknowledging his involvement with backward ass churches and politicians who are all openly racist and sexist?
I'm pretty sure Mikey is just another shameless grifter like the rest of those fucks, but that doesn't mean he should get a pass.
You don't have to wait till you hit a tree before you pump the brakes.

this was the most narcissistic/delusional bullshit i have seen in so long. “this lady comes up to me and tells me i look 20 years younger than i am! you know, i do look young and my name sounds young but, i can’t change it because i have 2 million followers!!! anyways, i bought made/sold my first product in 2002, sold my house 18 years ago & sold my first business 7 years ago!!! yeah so.. vote for me guys”
straight from the horse’s mouth.

lol, how is this reaching? if anything they're doing everyone a favor. I knew mikey was a horse-faced cocksucker, but I had no idea he was tied to some of the most vile people in america.

Precisely, and I’d be willing to bet this “lady” and conversation didn’t even happen in real life. He just needed to find a way to bring up is age, silly name and lack of political experience in a cute 60 second video. His one ear bud dangling in the ear and pen in the hand are about as contrived as this whole video.
-
Agreed, all that to defend his stupid name and his "following". Just when you thought he couldn't get any worse ... what an absolute kook.
Serious question:
What businesses is he always talking about? It's all so extremely vague. "yeah I'm into real estate" than the pyramid schemes he promotes. But what actual businesses did he start from the ground up?
I know he got lucky because his friends started something and he happened to be lucky enough to be there having money to invest. What did he ACTUALLY do with those companies he always talks about?
-
Which thread is this? Lame instagram posts by pros?
Some filmer somewhere has to have footage in their vault of this dolt saying the n-word or doing something totally egregious.
Now is the time to bring it out.
-
Mikey Taylor walks into a bar and the bartender goes, “why the long face?”
-
STABLE INCOME
-
Fuck that fool
-
Don’t be so hard on him, all he wants people to know in that video is that this is not his first rodeo
-
At this point I'm wondering if and how much he's still in touch with the skateboard industry and his former team mates.
-
I knew mikey was a horse-faced cocksucker
Gives off that dishonest plastic California vibe like Gavin Newsome, cardboard cutout humans who will say whatever they think people want to hear. How anyone could trust him and that Macklemore haircut is beyond comprehension.

Mikey Taylor (below) pictured with Pastor Rob McCoy (top).

Enough with horse jokes. As a non-american, the stuff dear pastor (and other cronies at Turning Point) spout is completely nuts and scary.
The (literal) whitewashing of ultra right wing-politics like with Mikey here is fucked. Thousand Oaks must be a hell to live in, if you are not rich white male...
-
Time to do the right thing and delete his trick from the AWS Cinematographer project.
-
Useless_Wooden_Knowledge if you lurk here great story. Fuck Mikey Haylor.
-
There's no way anyone would think that this douche was in his 20s. Fuck off Mikey, ya dildo.
STABLE INCOME
Gnarred
-
in an alternate universe Mikey is a progressive de-mare-crat...... =D
-
If mikey got on city council he would vote nay on every vote
-
no horse joke here
for 2-3 yeas straight, he's looked like a guy who is about to get morbidly obese, that fat face screams substance abuse.

Being a dork is kinda harmless
But i'm glad his connections are exposed because it's not harmless
-
Really impressive for him to grow from a kooky kid in the subculture of skateboarding, into a fully awful person out in the larger world of slimy business hustles. Now we get to witness him blossoming into a fully realized christian nationalist politician.
-
If mikey got on city council he would vote nay on every vote
UNLESS they were voting on hay
-
Anyone think UWK is a liberal? Lol
-
Who's the worse Mikey - Mikey Taylor or Mikey Alfred?
-
I have announced my candidacy to run against Mikey Taylor in Ventura County.
I'm Ted Cruz's ugly wife, and I approve of this message.
-
Some of you saying this dude needs a hobby or is over reaching are lookin pretty suss to me.
The fact the a lot of this is already known about MT makes me think a lot about his character. The fact that someone called it a smear campaign is telling that MT hides these facts because it shows what he truly is.
Also, Mikey had the worst part in In Bloom. Probably one of the most overrated skaters ever
-

Just throwing this out there but, not everyone who calls out far right bullshit is a liberal.

This thing about politics in California is that they are more or less run entirely by the home developer’s lobby. One of their primary interests is in seeing people elected to local and statewide office who share their vision of keeping things exactly as they are, meaning a constant shortage of housing driving the bubble ever and ever higher. This is why someone like Mikey would run for office and get their support.
-
Just think: we get to witness this whole shit show, while the people of K Oaks play roulette with their future, all just because Mikey’s wife told him it was time to get a real job, or she was leaving him & taking the kids.
-
Re-posting this info:
Rob McCoy is not seeking re-election after getting called out as complete kook. Instead, Rob will be "working with churches around the country as we're watching religious liberty being attacked."
He is going to work for Turning Point Faith, which seems to be a new and scary off shoot of Turning Point USA. "Turning Point Faith, a church-based “field program” that will recruit pastors and other church leaders to be active in local and national political issues." In context with their actions and their leaders, I read this as we are trying to continue to radicalize the GQP by radicalizing church leaders.

Like I said in the political pros thread. Don't do it, if you can't take the heat for it.
Mikey didn't directly answer if he's anti-lgbt and anti abortion, which just makes him a coward.
-
Why does that matter. He doesn’t even skate anymore. Conservative people are everywhere and have always existed . It’s a part of democracy . Why are you guys like this
-
I don’t think Mikey is outright racist, or homophobic, but he’s silent about it because of his affiliates, which makes him a coward, and to me that’s worse.
Dude has always come across as spineless and will just say whatever he can to avoid conflict, and those people are the most susceptible to the far-right.

I do think that these companies buying up all the houses to rent them is a problem, but are ALL landlords bad? Am I an asshole if i decide to rent my current house out when/if i buy a new one? At what point does renting our properties become bad? Serious question. I see a lot of people who use the term "landlord" as a pejorative and I think i know what types of people they're referring to. I also know a handful of middle class people that are technically landlords that arent rich, still work full time jobs, and just rent their previous house out as an investment property. I just want to know where the line is drawn, or if the second you decide to rent out your old home you become an evil person.
again, these giant real estate conglomerates are a huge problem especially in conjunction with Zillow/air bnb, this shit needs to be addressed. I'm just genuinely curious about where/if a line is drawn between them and regular ass people trying to prepare for their future. Please keep in mind that markets are different everywhere and where i live you dont have to be a millionaire to buy property, even now.

From his local paper. The more I look into this the more I see why UWK put him on blast. Bad look all around for MT.

Please keep in mind that markets are different everywhere and where i live you dont have to be a millionaire to buy property, even now.
Renting a former property doesn't make you what Mikey and his likes do. Hell, even being on your third home renting the first two are still in okay territory. Its the people that are buying (residential) properties for the sole intention of being a (residential) landlord. Buying whole blocks and then price fixing the rent. I get that landlords will need to exist in some capacity because of the way the market is set up and the banks etc. But owning 10/15/25 properties is a bit much.
The landlord I had before buying my home was renting us her house she got in a divorce, she later met someone else and they moved into his place she rented her former residence for $150 more than what she was paying for the the mortgage she still owed. The additional money covered a maintenance/repair company she was keeping on retainer in the event something happened at or to the property. She was very transparent with all of this up front. She even gave us first chance at buying the property when she made the decision to sell. This is an example of a really good landlord and 90% are not this.
I get in the situation of renting a previously lived in property at some point might create profit/or at the very least some liquid income. But that is playing the long game.
At least for me if I were to buy a new house right now, I would likely need to sell my current house to unlock built up equity to have the resources to close on a new house/show a bank I am worth a larger mortgage.

ok this was good to hear haha. having a couple homes is basically my retirement plan and people were starting to make me feel like i was doing something wrong for planning that. fuck a 401k, fuck committing to this "market" which is basically just a tool the rich use to syphon money from the lower classes.

Landlords, airbnbs, vacation homes, Zillow, etc are all proof of a broken system which places a burden on the future of humans.
Houseless humans could all have homes but instead we displace them because we’ve deemed them useless without understand their own issues. Capitalist society works it’s media outlet to deem those who don’t comply, as not trying hard enough.
If you’ve ever had or know people that have certain mental health/social issues, shits hard enough as it is. I feel safe in assuming the people who made it out of nothing did it on the backs of others or are grossly exaggerating where they came from. Fuck our current systems in place

i own a house does that make me part of the problem?

There are plenty of unused houses in Baltimore City that could house thousands of houseless individuals.
No one wants to fund it. Literal whole blocks, both sides of the street 30+ homes. Large 4+ bedroom rowhomes, multiple blocks in a row, abandoned for as long as I can remember.
I agree fuck the current system. No one wants to fund fixing people because they don't see value in it.

Horsey Taylor has always been a sheep. I am not surprised that he is an idiot without his own opinion.
Always following what's cool or in trend at the time. From the clothes, to the haircut, to the tricks. The fs shuv front crooks was cool, but that was a million years ago and he hasn't left the stable for a long time.
And it doesn't seem like he even skates anymore. If you slam on the concrete, you stay humble and don't turn into whatever he wants to be now.

This guy is pricing out the poor so their only option is renting storage lockers for their belongings. A huge percentage of the homeless population in Seattle live out of these storage spaces because rent is too high. It's disgusting. Mikey Taylor is a foul piece of shit. His children will inherit his Nazi legacy.

999 times out of 1000, when a politician tells you about someone who came up to them to tell them something, it did not happen.
doesn't even need a tell like Trump and his "he said, Sir" bit...they're just not true

What the hell do you think owning numerous rental properties from which you are able to "retire on" is doing? Profiting off of basic human needs so you can live the comfy life, right on, right on.
-
At most you can own 2 houses (or stables, in Mikey's case) without being a piece of shit. And you're straddling the line at that.

there’s a big difference between being a landlord with a few properties to rent out and horseman who buys up multiple buildings in low income neighborhoods, kicks the people out of their homes, renovates them into luxury apartments and raises the rent 6 times the amount. it’s fuckin evil

Brilliant, nothing like taking Riley's perspective of the world and thinking it is the right way to live your life. (Also, I saw Jeffwonsong in LA a few months ago. He did an inward heel-flip on every stair set in the park and went home. It was beyond weird.)

Jeff of all people commenting that is probably my favorite thing to happen in skateboarding. I knew the comments on Mikey’s post were gonna be gold but I’m so glad I saw that.

In his response he said he had to look up right wing nationalism and fascism. And he is running for local government. This beyond un fucking believable.

How many skaters are landlords? Tons….and they shut the fuck up about because no one cares…..

If you’ve ever had or know people that have certain mental health/social issues, shits hard enough as it is. I feel safe in assuming the people who made it out of nothing did it on the backs of others or are grossly exaggerating where they came from. Fuck our current systems in place
There are plenty of unused houses in Baltimore City that could house thousands of houseless individuals.
No one wants to fund it. Literal whole blocks, both sides of the street 30+ homes. Large 4+ bedroom rowhomes, multiple blocks in a row, abandoned for as long as I can remember.
I agree fuck the current system. No one wants to fund fixing people because they don't see value in it.
i could not disagree with you more - no one wants to fund the system because they see great value in it being exactly the way it is and trending worse.
your job gets you to stay because you need money and benefits. they threaten you with other workers from the class beneath yours taking your spot. the class beneath you is killing themselves to hardly survive, so obviously you want to avoid purposely putting yourself in that situation. in order to keep those people at work, we need a class below them that has fucking nothing and is very visible. the system relies on having a class of people to step on and another class to grind into dust. it’s an evil world and the mikey taylors of it will do everything in their power to ensure that nothing changes for anyone “beneath” them.

I do think that these companies buying up all the houses to rent them is a problem, but are ALL landlords bad? Am I an asshole if i decide to rent my current house out when/if i buy a new one? At what point does renting our properties become bad? Serious question. I see a lot of people who use the term "landlord" as a pejorative and I think i know what types of people they're referring to. I also know a handful of middle class people that are technically landlords that arent rich, still work full time jobs, and just rent their previous house out as an investment property. I just want to know where the line is drawn, or if the second you decide to rent out your old home you become an evil person.
again, these giant real estate conglomerates are a huge problem especially in conjunction with Zillow/air bnb, this shit needs to be addressed. I'm just genuinely curious about where/if a line is drawn between them and regular ass people trying to prepare for their future. Please keep in mind that markets are different everywhere and where i live you dont have to be a millionaire to buy property, even now.
Renting a former property doesn't make you what Mikey and his likes do. Hell, even being on your third home renting the first two are still in okay territory. Its the people that are buying (residential) properties for the sole intention of being a (residential) landlord. Buying whole blocks and then price fixing the rent. I get that landlords will need to exist in some capacity because of the way the market is set up and the banks etc. But owning 10/15/25 properties is a bit much.
I get in the situation of renting a previously lived in property at some point might create profit/or at the very least some liquid income. But that is playing the long game.
At least for me if I were to buy a new house right now, I would likely need to sell my current house to unlock built up equity to have the resources to close on a new house/show a bank I am worth a larger mortgage.
ok this was good to hear haha. having a couple homes is basically my retirement plan and people were starting to make me feel like i was doing something wrong for planning that. fuck a 401k, fuck committing to this "market" which is basically just a tool the rich use to syphon money from the lower classes.
What the hell do you think owning numerous rental properties from which you are able to "retire on" is doing? Profiting off of basic human needs so you can live the comfy life, right on, right on.
So how should I ever plan to retire?

there’s a big difference between being a landlord with a few properties to rent out and horseman who buys up multiple buildings in low income neighborhoods, kicks the people out of their homes, renovates them into luxury apartments and raises the rent 6 times the amount. it’s fuckin evil
no disagreement there. i’m too poor to buy and helping my parents through their financial troubles has absolutely destroyed my credit. somehow lucked out with my landlord and my place is rent controlled, which was his idea. he owns a few places in my neighborhood which is being gentrified very fast. he’s pretty much the only one who hasn’t raised rent here on any tenants in like 20 years. great guy. my neighbors place is almost 3 times my rent for the same size house with a smaller yard. i guess moral of my story is there are some, but very few good landlords out there.

I do agree It's the investor bro real estate influencer guy trend. They're everywhere. All over YouTube, all over social media. All the same rich people getting richer. They all have a way for you to send them money. Capitalize off the housing crisis and economic crash and so blatant how the campaign running to help homelessness. What has Mikey Taylor done for homeless people other than exploit them through his campaign propaganda? I really don't care about his white power ties as much his campaign against homeless people. Like I said before, his plan is to get rid of em, not house em.
.
-
It’s more than acceptable to care about BOTH his “white-power ties” AND his position on the homeless population.
They both stink.
You can smell this dude’s long term political ambitions through the screen: he really thinks he’s something special.

He's using the right wing accusations as propaganda for his campaign on his Instagram. I think voters want to know what he's going to do about the homeless crisis. That's what he doesn't want to talk about. It's crazy listening to influencer bro guy talk about homelessness. These real estate guys like meet Kevin, financial education Jeremy etc. They're psychopaths. Never spent a day without a dollar. They're plans for the poor usually involve some sort of dehumanizing plan based on zero experience. He's a scammer. I can't wait to hear his plan now that he says that homelessness is part of his three point program.

Woof, so many comments that have me feeling ways, but I don't want to deal with the hackery of replying to them all in one post.
To the people claiming homelessness is simply an issue of having a home - have you ever actually worked with the impoverished? Actually dealt with their literal insanity or their addictions? Addicts and the insane aren't reasonable people. What about the truly bad apples, I've met more than a few homeless POS's who would still be POS's with a home.
I did a decent amount of research into the Seattle homeless issue, and the shocking thing I found was the majority, like 3/4s of the homeless had been on the streets for a decade or more. Sometimes it's a choice, however bad the logic is.
I agree that existence is a right, I don't agree that people should get the benefits of society without any of the cost, and that includes me paying your rent. I worked 80-90 hours a week for 5 years to pull myself out of poverty and now that I'm here I'm supposed to feel shame? Nahhh
Ugg, I hate topics like this because I have so many feels but can never articulate them without sounding like a scrouge. I just think it's fairly ignorant to look at Horseman and call him a racist who hates the homeless just because he's gone real estate bro. Dudes just making cash - be mad at the ***** negotiating your deals.
What's the alternative to the current real estate market? Everyone gets a free house? What about on the beachfront, who decides who gets those houses? What about repairs, that free too?

The plan is that you live out of your car and rent a storage space for all your belongings. Storage lockers are a lot easier to maintain when you can deprive people of water, shower, utilities,. Depend on Starbucks for restrooms. Make sure there are charging ports for all EV drivers while people living out of storage lockers don't have anywhere to charge their phones. How are you supposed to do anything if you can't charge your phone? No bills besides gas when you're living in a locker.

There was a recent WTF podcast with Sam Quinones and he talks about one of the effects of this super cheap meth that plagues these areas (aside from an apparent fascination with collecting bicycles - truly!) is that they don’t want to leave these areas. If you gave them shelter, they’d likely abandon it and go back living on the streets.

addction and homelessness are cmplex problems which need to be tackled in more than one ways. giving people housing is a good start but not enough if they struggle with addiction and and the resulting social problems, stigmas and so on.
the opiate crisis in the us is a subject for itself and i doubt that mikey is interested in a solution for the problem other than being a nimby and gentrifier.

1. i've met more rich assholes than homeless assholes, by far. and surprisingly, not all homeless people are fucking addicts. a large group, i'd even say the majority of homeless people are not homeless by choice. obviously addicts are hard to work with but rich addicts are just as hard if not harder to work with too, with the only difference being that they're rich. there's tons of insane rich people and just because they're rich they're even harder to stop, especially in the fucking usa, which i believe to be one of the worst countries in the world to live in. but i kinda understand your thinking, i mean why the fuck someone that doesn't work 80-90 hours a week should be able to live a life that isn't completely shitty when you have to pay doctors thousands of dollars just because you broke your wrist and struggle to pay rent? i was being sarcastic with that last sentence btw
2. you pay taxes just like everybody else, but the thing is that the government of the usa doesn't use tax money to increase the standard of living, they use it to become rich themselves without doing all that much. the fact you had to work 80-90 hours a week to pull yourself out of poverty is sad, NO ONE should have to do that. it's inhumane to force people to work that much. no, you shouldn't be ashamed of that, but you're obviously jaded because of that situation and what you went through. would it really hurt you to learn that somebody is able to get off the streets because you paid your taxes? i'd personally be happy about that. i see that you think most homeless people are leeches or something but i'm sure that a lot of them would actually be grateful and they would at least try to find a job and support themselves.
3. read the subject of the thread again. there's proof that mikey has connections with evil people. being a real estate bro is a bad thing in itself, but the fact that he's working with these kinds of people makes things much much worse. btw housing should be a right, not a fucking luxury.

I do think that these companies buying up all the houses to rent them is a problem, but are ALL landlords bad? Am I an asshole if i decide to rent my current house out when/if i buy a new one? At what point does renting our properties become bad? Serious question. I see a lot of people who use the term "landlord" as a pejorative and I think i know what types of people they're referring to. I also know a handful of middle class people that are technically landlords that arent rich, still work full time jobs, and just rent their previous house out as an investment property. I just want to know where the line is drawn, or if the second you decide to rent out your old home you become an evil person.
again, these giant real estate conglomerates are a huge problem especially in conjunction with Zillow/air bnb, this shit needs to be addressed. I'm just genuinely curious about where/if a line is drawn between them and regular ass people trying to prepare for their future. Please keep in mind that markets are different everywhere and where i live you dont have to be a millionaire to buy property, even now.
Renting a former property doesn't make you what Mikey and his likes do. Hell, even being on your third home renting the first two are still in okay territory. Its the people that are buying (residential) properties for the sole intention of being a (residential) landlord. Buying whole blocks and then price fixing the rent. I get that landlords will need to exist in some capacity because of the way the market is set up and the banks etc. But owning 10/15/25 properties is a bit much.
I get in the situation of renting a previously lived in property at some point might create profit/or at the very least some liquid income. But that is playing the long game.
At least for me if I were to buy a new house right now, I would likely need to sell my current house to unlock built up equity to have the resources to close on a new house/show a bank I am worth a larger mortgage.
ok this was good to hear haha. having a couple homes is basically my retirement plan and people were starting to make me feel like i was doing something wrong for planning that. fuck a 401k, fuck committing to this "market" which is basically just a tool the rich use to syphon money from the lower classes.
What the hell do you think owning numerous rental properties from which you are able to "retire on" is doing? Profiting off of basic human needs so you can live the comfy life, right on, right on.
So how should I ever plan to retire?
idk maybe just put the money you would spend buying 4 fucking houses into a roth IRA
like the people that wanted to retire in 2008 did? yea, fuck all that. Do you understand why they offer incentives for IRA/401k? Its because the brokerages and banks holding those accounts stand to gain more off of holding your money than you do. Big money uses IRA/401k/pensions as leverage for bets in the fucking casino we refer to as the market. What happens we they lose the bet? They get bailed out, you get fucked and left with nothing. They want you to keep your money in the market so they can gamble with it and make money off of it. If you think real estate investment is bad because it widens the wealth gap, you must not know anything about the stock market, or more specifically the derivatives market.
Saving enough money to retire off of is basically impossible for most people, we live too long now, and things are too expensive. This is by design, that's why a 401k/IRA seems like the reasonable choice for most people. But you are completely committed to the ebb and flow of the market, if you want to retire when its down, too bad. Having assets that can generate income and with hold their value or appreciate is the only realistic way to be in control of when you retire. All rich people do this, but you don't have to be rich (obv you need some money) to do this yourself or at least understand these principles.
Sorry to rant, but our entire financial system being completely fraudulent and predatory makes me a little cranky to say the least.

Andreas rules.
I watched the Mikey rebuttal video up to the point where he said that the UWK post was insinuating that "Anyone who owns real estate is bad," and shut it off after.
It's pretty clear what values he's aligning himself with, and that should be more than enough reason to not support him in any future political endeavours.

Landlords, airbnbs, vacation homes, Zillow, etc are all proof of a broken system which places a burden on the future of humans.
Houseless humans could all have homes but instead we displace them because we’ve deemed them useless without understand their own issues. Capitalist society works it’s media outlet to deem those who don’t comply, as not trying hard enough.
If you’ve ever had or know people that have certain mental health/social issues, shits hard enough as it is. I feel safe in assuming the people who made it out of nothing did it on the backs of others or are grossly exaggerating where they came from. Fuck our current systems in place
There are plenty of unused houses in Baltimore City that could house thousands of houseless individuals.
No one wants to fund it. Literal whole blocks, both sides of the street 30+ homes. Large 4+ bedroom rowhomes, multiple blocks in a row, abandoned for as long as I can remember.
I agree fuck the current system. No one wants to fund fixing people because they don't see value in it.
i could not disagree with you more - no one wants to fund the system because they see great value in it being exactly the way it is and trending worse.
your job gets you to stay because you need money and benefits. they threaten you with other workers from the class beneath yours taking your spot. the class beneath you is killing themselves to hardly survive, so obviously you want to avoid purposely putting yourself in that situation. in order to keep those people at work, we need a class below them that has fucking nothing and is very visible. the system relies on having a class of people to step on and another class to grind into dust. it’s an evil world and the mikey taylors of it will do everything in their power to ensure that nothing changes for anyone “beneath” them.
Agreed 100%. So many people are kept homeless and desperate in order to remind everyone that there's a way in which things for you could be much worse than working 60 hours a week for sub-minimum wage.

I don't believe it does mean that.
I don't believe renting a property at a fair price to be "leeching" money. People in their 20's starting out cant really afford to buy a home or maintain one (even in more reasonable markets). But they can split a house with a couple friends and get out of their parents house.
Even if the housing market tanks, you can still rent out a property, and that doesn't mean you have to gouge your renters either. Renting has its place, it is just being abused by big money right now, as are most things.
The issue is that there is no fairness because big money has made it that way. Big money has made living so expensive that people are willing to be unfair in order to stay ahead. but that doesnt mean that renting is inherently predatory. It means that our system has been corrupted by greed.
How would you suggest someone prepare to retire?

Fuck Airbnb also. Me and my ex were trying to buy a flat in this town and we got out bid 5 fucking times by some cunt who furnished them and they are on Airbnb...like all five fucking flats. The amount of stress killed our relationship. If I'm terminal I'm gonna rent each one and destroy them.
Edit. To be clear we wanted to buy one after another to live in, spent months looking find our dream flat and get out priced over and over...they sold for way more than they were worth...stay in a hotel. Thank fuck the landlord of my appartement was super cool and sold me the flat for a decent price.

It all makes sense. 2008 was a catalyst for our current housing cost issue. Banks approve mortgages for people who definitely cannot afford them. Demand for homes skyrockets as everyone is approved, and home prices inflate at an unrealistic amount. People default on their loans and then owe more money than the home they bought is even worth (Bryan Herman's 9 club touched on this, dude got fucked in '08), and they lose the home to foreclosure. Homes go to auction, where they are then sold for a FRACTION of their "appraised" value, and are then swallowed back up by investment firms and financial bros with vested interests. The banks then control the debt owed to them, the houses the debt was caused by, and the rent money coming in from renting the homes out at these current insane costs. They're making money from at least 3 different avenues from the same source (housing), and they really haven't done shit. They didn't build the house, they just allowed people to hold their money for a bit, only to collect it back with interest and fee's.
DAMN IT MIKEY TAYLOR, WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO US?

Sounds like the Bay Area to a degree with people flipping houses. My wife and I spend 2.5 years getting outbidded on homes, especially in Oakland area. One house was for sale for a $1M which was classified as a fixer upper and sold for $1.3M. Then in 6 months you'd see it on Redfin/Zillow fully remodeled and selling for an asking price of $1.5M but eventually selling for $1.7M. They made in theory $400K in 6 months minus the cost of materials and labor but that is still some good ass money.

Pretty hard to get a place in western Sydney same shit some asshole on a phone just outbids everyone and nobody moves into the house. Gets a bit of work done and back on the market or worse gets leveled and turned into appartments. Seems like that would be good but it fucks over all the existing residents because now there's appartments buildings on a street that was designed for a house often built without any parking so instead of 2 cars there's like 40.
Other thing heard happen in a few places is they somehow get the traffic rules changed around so no trucks etc but that means no public transport so now everyone has to drive their kids to school because there's no bus. But everyone whos kids go to public school have been priced out so they have to drive ten mins to school and all the now rich people who live around the schools kids don't go to public school so they all have to drive out making entire suburbs into near standstill traffic for two hours every morning and afternoon.

To the people claiming homelessness is simply an issue of having a home - have you ever actually worked with the impoverished?
I have, and all the bullshit you wrote after asking that question, as seems to be so often the case, is a clear indicator that you haven't and should therefore shut the fuck up about it. I can guarantee you that there are insane addicted homeless people that understand the standard normal distribution even though you don't. In almost every circumstance I would consider you the problem.

Thanks for doing it before I could. Certainly makes the blood boil a bit for people actually actively involved in recovery and housing programs and knows how much of a difference they can make.
I legit don't think if I'd ever have gotten clean and off the streets and into a position to help others if I wasn't a veteran and thus had access to far better resources than the average person. I also firmly believe that the love of my life would still be here beside me today if she had access to the same treatment resources I did.

You’re well aware of the line it seems, so don’t sweat it. Rental properties are important, so renting your house to live somewhere else is totally fine. Having 15 houses to strictly profit off is fucked.

Pagans can't be quoted because the Christians killed them all and destroyed basically everything they had. Anything we know of them was written by Christians a few hundred years after they were already donzo so is probably pretty much horseshit. They've done it before they'll try do it again don't obey their rules and die.
