I wonder what the millions and millions and millions and millions of empty homes being owned and held off market by the rich have anything to do with that.
Got ripped off $1,450 and AirBnB wouldn't help- nice pic of a guest house with pool- landlord literally re-wrote ad for the place while I complained- pool was just green swamp with mosquitoes clearly hadn't been cleaned, filled since Covid quarantine- looked like the Mall Reflecting Pool but worse, and entrance full of dust, dried leaves, empty beer bottles. Owner said the "fine print" said pool only filled in June (it was May) Won't use them again-total fraud-not surprised founder is a racist.
This guy’s net worth is 8.6 Billion that he has earned through buying up real estate properties. Maybe the Hispanic family next door paying rent to a landlord just like I am isn’t the problem.
What a hypocrite. Don't forget that AirBnb rents out Palestinian properties stolen by Israeli settlers and refuses to change its policy when this is pointed out.
Statistically my taxes aren't paying for that. My taxes are paying for a dipshit failson to beg Iran to open the strait. My taxes are paying for a dipshit failson to celebrate himself. My taxes are paying for a dipshit failson to fill his own pockets with insider trading
"got mine" *pulls up ladder* fuck these people. How can you have so much fucking money and contribute to problems instead of fixing them. What a bunch of fucking losers. I sincerely hope he'll is real so I can watch these fucks burn (I will be in hell too, but it'll be worth it)
Airbnb took an existing idea and got rid of the red tape (that protected consumers and renters) and shredded it, driving up the price of housing, hotels, and rapidly becoming another completely unusable app from enshittification.
In my case, the house had a plumbing failure and EVERY drain backed up. They tried to stick my sister-in-law with the plumbing bill. It took a few months for AirB&B to finally side with her. Reason why I don't like them and will not use them. In that case, the family decided on it.
I would never have the audacity to attempt to stick what is obviously my plumbing bill on some renters. Holy fuck. I guess that's why I'm not a millionaire
have you seen house prices? they are not getting even a starter home with government support. If they are somehow pulling enough income from non crime jobs they have every right to that home.
The rich assholes that are actually driving the cost of housing up are lying to to stupid racists that the democrat politicians are paying for the "illegal aliens" to live there.
Ah. That'd explain it. My apologies for the 'universe revolves around the US' thing. Old stupid habit probably born of early internet where there was less internationality. Or I'm just stupid. Or both:)
Technically there’s no such thing as anchor babies. Despite having citizenship, a child born in the US gives no legal standing to the parents. So it’s all just political bullshit to begin with.
All of Trump’s children would be US citizens regardless of who the mother was, by virtue of his being a US citizen who meets the requirements for automatically passing on his citizenship.

Is he talking about Melania trump?

The JBS was the 1960s equivalent of the Proud Boys. Back in the '90s I was amazed to find out they were still around.
AntaNce
My parents, who were died in the wool repubs, thought JBS people were 'scary' and ridiculous. Ike repubs & goldwaters hated JBS people.

The white house?
petrovpoo
Not just the American housing market, Airbnb and their ilk are desrroying housing affordability globally.
CatSparkleBreaker
Come on now, the white house isn't exactly a starter home.

Is he not describing the white house?

No sweetheart, she’s living, with that anchor baby, in the Whitehouse and she’s leeching every benefit she can.
There, hope that helps, ya big turdbrain!

Not a nice way to talk about Melania.

the way that tweet is framed really shows how disconnected he is from reality

I hate the term starter home. I moved a shit ton when I was younger. I bought this house and I'm gonna fucking die in it.
CrimeSceneShoe
I hate the word "investment." Can I just stay here? Moving sucks.
medimr
If white, I mean "American," kids can't afford homes, how exactly are "illegal aliens" doing it?
This is about as stupid as the racists claiming that people are flooding into this country to benefit from our welfare state...that doesn't exist.
maxwilder
They lie about “free money” given to immigrants to trick stupid people into voting against their own interests.
Jimthebutler
Exactly.

Republicans wouldn't have anything to speak about if their mouths weren't full of lies

immigrants are both stealing your job and too lazy to work but are also not eligible to draw unemployment checks but also those can pay the mortgage

Nothing like seeing mcmansions that sit unused 99% of the year, while the local people can't even afford an apartment.

For a moment I thought the JBS post was talking about Melania...

Yeah. Was confused when this was called bad blame shifting. I thought it's about the Trump family and "starter home" being the White House.

"starter home"

Is the John Birch Society not as well known as it used to be? I could just be old:)
TheJuiceLoosener
I thought they were defunct. Apparently, they have social media?
netutoring
Not defunct, just not the big thing it used to be during the Cold War. Headquartered in Wisconsin, apparently.

I'm not from the US. I think I've heard about them, but I didn't immediately remember who they were when I read the tweet.

All Trump kids except Tiffany

This needs to stop spreading. I hate Trump with a white hot passion, but none of his kids are anchor babies.

All of them are. Except Tiffany

None of them are. Their father was a US citizen.

That doesn't matter.

Technically there’s no such thing as anchor babies. Despite having citizenship, a child born in the US gives no legal standing to the parents. So it’s all just political bullshit to begin with.

This is correct. This is why they aren’t anchor babies!
