I'd prefer not to talk about myself

The core flaw in your argument is the "if rent is the same." Landlords exist to make a profit, either as individuals or as corporations. That profit by definition is economic return beyond the costs of building, operation, maintenance, etc. Public or nonprofit ownership can provide the necessary public benefit of housing, which is necessary for everyone (even those without income) to survive, without the need to generate profit.

I see from some other comments that you're a brit, so you probably have no reason to know about the US Section 8 housing program. Basically we switched from publicly owned housing to the government providing housing vouchers to tenants. I'm not sure if there are similar programs in the UK / Ireland or not. There are pros and cons, but the gist is both approaches spend tax dollars on housing assistance, but the voucher program massively benefits a rich landlord class.

Do you know what the Section 8 housing program is?

Still doesn't require a landlord class to exist. Just have the for rent housing under public or nonprofit ownership.

Meh to this. Joe Biden was a good VP who knew how to throw political punches. Kamala is the worst at that role I've seen in my lifetime.

What you want to do is holistically compare "original" Quakers to their contemporaries from that period of history.

Also, Republicans just lie about what they want. Exhibit A: Every SCOTUS judge who said Roe was "settled precedent"

We know what the Republicans believe because they consistently legislate scientifically illiterate nonsense like 6 week heartbeat laws.

Bible also has stuff about paying debts, but forgiving the unpaid balance after 7 years. How about we just do that.

Cicero joined the Optimate establishment to help them maintain power and escalate the political conflict with Caesar into a civil war.

Armies started using less accurate more cumbersome firearms centuries before because it became clear guns pierced armor better. That's it.

it also isn't an incorrect detail, he's generalizing away valid history that substantiates stuff exactly like this happening (rarely)

Mfer people miss at that range with modern firearms. All I said was "not impossible" and it isn't.

Good thing homedude wasn't carrying a period accurate bayonet, dirk, or tomahawk. Still a great ad. Modern weapons require modern laws.

A miss or misfire at that range isn't the most likely outcome, but it is definitely possible. Video makes a valid point.
