So many issues would be solved by banning corporate ownership of residential housing, and taxing the shit out of non-primary residential housing.

But then you could own shit, not rent shit and never own anything. Dirty commi! Would someone please think of the shareholders for once?

Many issues would also be solved by breaking into empty homes and placing anti-zombie traps outside your new real estate.

These "investors" need to be snapped up

Every price gouging landlord should face prison time, and every blackrock/insert-housegrabbing-corpo-here board member doubly so.

Billionaires should have their excess wealth redistributed and any remainder meted out to a median quality of life yearly subsidy they earn by doing community service as a full time occupation as a means of parole.

Trickle-up parasites must be corrected into decent human beings if they wish to remain in society.

While I actually do benefit from the status quo currently, I still would sign this petition. I know I had luck, but it's unfair and unjust.

Too much work. Let's just make em a foot shorter and call it a day.

Well, rather a head shorter.

You will own nothing and be happy
