100% on their rental value, which for many landlords is directly tied to massive loans they're underwater on. That's why they'd rather have unoccupied rentals with nominally high values than reduce the rental price to match the market and have their loans called in.
No, the rental value is the nominal price of the rental. This is extremely simple, a child could understand this. The landlords have gotten loans based on the assumed rental income, which is not $0.
Seriously? OK, you must not really have thought about this before. They are listing their properties for rent but nobody is renting them. They're listing those properties at the nominal rental value. So the tax would be on that nominal rental cost. This is like, babytown frolics level simple to connect the dots on even if you don't agree with it - understanding this should have clicked like two replies back.

you're welcome to disagree but wasting this much time pretending to not understand is just childish, have a very nice day weirdo
amazing, now you understand and it's almost like I didn't have to waste any time explaining this stupid concept to you
thanks, good job, very useful
One more reply, since I expect you haven't got the testicular fortitude to keep up - I, and probably all hexbears, think landlords shouldn't exist at all. Your idea that some liberal plan to tax them differently is indicative of hexbear is a fundamental ignorance of our actual politics.
Landlords should not exist in any fashion.
I think you're barking up the wrong tree, comrade. I think u/Zuberi really is anti-landlord and hasn't said anything to suggest otherwise. And their comment about hexbear's reputation on other instances wasn't anything having to do with the OP, it was about how you were insulting them.
if that's the case it's weird that they decided to be a pedant and pretend not to understand the extremely plain and simple original statement. It's plain they disagreed with it but didn't want to just say that.
For real, nat—take a chill pill. I say this with all the good faith love I share with all my comrades. Somebody being a pedant doesn't automatically make them a chud. @Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com reads like a fellow traveler still working out their
. Cut them a little slack.
Thumbs up emoji goes here.
Sorry that we come across as hostile weirdos sometimes. We're actually very nice hostile weirdos once you get to know us!
next time just explicitly state your objection instead of pretending to misunderstand
They got mad about my 9/11 user banner image, beyond just intentionally pretending to misunderstand instead of stating their objection. I think my chud detector is in good working order tbh
Weird, maybe, but the argument wasn't an ideological one from what I can tell, it was one about the wording not making sense that I honestly didn't understand either. I admit to being stupid about economic things, but I didn't know that "nominal income" meant something different than just income.
Like, you're going off with "You're typical of the "HEXBEAR IS RUINING THE LEMMYVERSE" chud" when glancing at their history, it doesn't look like they're a chud at all and were actually defending Hexbear when lemmy.world did the preemptive defederation shit.

Didn't sound like it so
The best part of this is the person whose idea I was trying to explain to you - and never once endorsed - isn't a Hexbear user. You're just full-on making up shit when all I was trying to do was explain the concept a user from a completely different instance suggested. Congrats on being too dumb to both a) get the idea and b) attribute the idea to the correct instance.
This is all entirely too perfect, I hope you don't delete your replies because they are a perfect encapsulation of the liberal anti-hexbear derangement.
Any outsider observing this interaction and taking your side is an idiot. You behaved like a petulant child, repeating your one point no matter how many times the actual situation was explained to you. And then getting up on your soapbox acting haughty when someone with more patience for you than you deserved gives up. Reddit tier troll.
I literally just tried to explain the idea that you were feigning misunderstanding, I have not endorsed anything. You're typical of the "HEXBEAR IS RUINING THE LEMMYVERSE" chud - making up ideas in your head and getting mad about them. Reading comprehension and your big feelings really get in the way of your engagement with the lemmyverse.
Idk my guy the other poster explains it pretty well, at this point it just looks like you're refusing to learn
