Portugal’s bid to attract foreign money backfires as rental market goes ‘crazy’
Back when I played Quake, this strategy “to attract foreign money” was called “Free For All”. My favourite gun was the rocket launcher, because I’d fire rockets and just watch them run and then fly into them.
It’s the fundament of capitalism: Have the wealthy oppress the poor and keep them on their knees, forever.
Don’t like being a wage slave? Well at least you can go to Portugal and have cheap rent! Those suckers have it real bad…
With capitalism, it’s always possible to find someone to shit on.
Back when I palyed Quake, this strategy “to attract foreign money” had nothing to do with “Free for All” mode, it’s more akin to “Capture the Flag” and using the grappling hook to camp from a hidden spot and just rocketing the flag carrier every time they picked it up.
Blaming a particular system of economics for power abuse is almost just lazy propaganda to push a narrative, any and every system in place will be abused by people who are unscrupulous, greedy, and/or corrupt sociopaths.
Capitalism is equally as corruptible as all the rest.
Corruption and ethics are the underlying concerns, not top ended ideals of politics that really only provide obfuscation of actual ‘people’ level problems beyond rhetoric.
