    Lol, as well as all the groceries going up in price, my rat fuck landlord upped the rent by $130USD per month.

    I had to push back on my employer at my annual review and ask for a bigger raise. I got the bigger raise. It still leaves me about $8 worse off just in terms of the rent per month.

    What a stupid, stupid fucking system.

      I think its crazy that there are places where you just randomly, for no reason, get the rent of your current residence increased on you. I feel like that alone should tell you the priorities of your current and past governments.

        It’s not for “no reason” buddy. How else is my landlord and their family gonna eat if I don’t put food on their table?

        And they deserve the very best, and they know I definitely can’t afford to buy that for them (as much as I would love to), which is why they kindly and cleverly have put together a grassroots community effort and in a way “crowdfunded” their own lavish lifestyle by purchasing literally dozens of properties and jacking up the rent every year by hundreds of dollars a month. It’s all a community thing!

        They live in a mansion. I’ve seen their house. They have a fucking pool.
