"We now find ourselves in a situation where one in every 21 adults in the UK is a landlord. We have four times as many landlords as teachers. As a consequence, virtually everyone struggles to afford a home that meets their needs despite a net gain in housing stock."
As a famous philosopher once said, landlords create nothing of value for the economy or society. They're pure parasites, and the state should stop them. That philosopher was Adam Smith. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/mar/19/end-of-landlords-surprisingly-simple-solution-to-uk-housing-crisis

@mcc I can say it hasn't happened in my experience using label maker labels at least (the Brother P-touch ones)
@mcc I use a label maker at the smallest possible font size to make tiny little labels for MicroSD cards sometimes

mutual aid, very urgent
hi hello
so I'm normally notified by my local council about tax I have to pay, it tends to fluctuate a bit despite benefits. but this month I couldn't log into the site until recently and I didn't get any notification until today and it's due to come out automatically on the 15th; it's the 12th as I'm writing this so I would extremely appreciate the help making sure I have that in my bank before I get into an unarranged overdraft.
additionally I need help topping up my electricity meter as it has gotten concerningly low.
the council tax payment is Β£60, and I need around Β£50 for electricity, so Β£110 in total. lost my job earlier this month too so this suddenly happening extremely sucks lmao
Β£0/Β£110

@eevee I think this is what bothers me about the whole attitude that pirating something from a company you don't like is this act of great moral righteousness, sticking it to the man
it's not actually doing anything to hurt the company unless you tacitly accept the idea that their product is a Must Have and your only agency is whether to pay for it or not. & you're perpetuating the buzz around it either way
you could just not engage with it at all! find something else & elevate that instead!
