Lolol, lets compare that to capitalism numbers. Don't forget to compare suffering too, since everyone seems to overlook quality of life, injuries, and slavery, in favor of just one sliver of the many metrics of deaths. So, don't forget to calculate the indirect deaths caused by capitalism too lol

    Because now they are draining income from tenants without providing services. Landlords don't work, but get money, not just from thin air, but from the people who live in those places. To pay enough for the landlord and the property manager it requires more money than just a property manager. Not to mention landlords have no one stopping them from just increasing rent if the laws don't stop them and they raise it with other landlords (which is happened right now). What are people going to do? Move? To another place that's just as expensive? Plus moving is expensive by itself.

    I see what you are trying to say, but its missing huge chunks of what's happening in actuality.

    I prefer the analogy of not having a heat sync/fan. In a ice cold room with an external fan? Works wonders. Anywhere else? Overheats. Once you overheat you have to take time to cool it off and possibly fix what broke.

    The word "Blast" needs to be removed from all news. They literally have to have writing classes to get their job, and their vocabulary is seemingly limited to what a five year old would use. Probably some psychological reason they use it lately, like infantalizing the news so it's not taken seriously on purpose or something.
