dude I can’t believe we lived through the tenement era and made housing standards laws just for a guy with a million dollar house in dc to come on the internet and tell people who make way less money sorry but you’re gonna have to live in a 95sqft closet or a room without windows

This is the housing version of, “It’s for security that your computer can’t do anything it used to do, and is locked down from you. Yeah, buddy, ‘security,’ that’s it. That’s the reason nothing works anymore. Nothing to do with making me richer and you poorer. Nothing at all.”

And people fall for this, in every arena. It occurs ubiquitously because it fucking works.
