Add VLC and set up a media server and it's just as convenient as streaming for at home use.

Risk is an idiot's justification. Anyone who owns a business knows the whole point of a limited liability corporation is it removes any risk in case of failure.

If Walmart went tits up today the Walton's would still be rich. It's the workers who bear all the risk.

Where do you think the value for your return on investment comes from? It's extracted from the labor of workers.

Dude why do people think communism means you can't own anything. There's a difference between private and personal properties. You can own a house, and a car, hell even a whole farm. What you cannot do is hold capital.

I stopped using Amazon. It used to fill the niche of "I need this particular thing how" but honestly, 2 day shopping has been a lie for a while. If I need something that bad I can find a store with it. If I need something specific I can order manufacturer direct.

You're still paying for those repairs when you rent, it's just spread out.

Simple. Only individuals can buy single family homes. No renting of single family homes. And remove zoning restrictions to allow for more multifamily units.

I'm in that boat. I'm a land lord. I built my forever home but after a medical issue I lost my job. Unfortunately my career choice, while lucrative, only has one or two positions per state. So I had to move. I'd like to return to the home I built but that won't be for another 10 years minimum when I retire. I don't want to sell my home, so I rented it out. I'm currently renting an apartment myself.

Her land on Maui is worth $300mil at least. She needs $10mil, sell 3% of her land. Or hell, donate it directly to the people of Maui. Given most Americans don't have $500 in savings, I'll match her .3% and donate $2.

I would be down for it if it was a local only connection, no internet, it would also have to be fully owned, no license. I wouldn't even want the cons protocol to resemble tcp/ip
