Taylor Swift: You've got it wrong... this isn't about me. It's about these self-appointed "saviors" who supposedly saved... who, exactly?! And (as usual) you missed the point entirely. I wasn't throwing out solutions; I was suggesting a course of action so they might actually start looking like an organization that wants to help people instead of just feeding their own egos. |
If you had been at even one eviction, you'd see it has nothing to do with self-promotion. At the last family eviction near the Holy Spirit church, I saw firsthand how happy those people were because people actually stood up for them. I overheard a conversation between Mr. John Doe and a friend of his where the guy said, "Look, we've got your back, we'll defend your home," and Mr. John Doe, looking hopeful, replied, "You think so? I really hope so..." Now, if you honestly believe that people getting to stay in their homes is just someone's way of seeking attention, or that defending them from an illegal housing cooperative is somehow wrong, then you're a total troll. I rest my case.
In other words, you won't mind if I hold you to your word once those next service fees hit your account, right? 🙂

🤔 Do you seriously believe that Living Wall has helped anyone?
😵 My bad. It took me a second to realize I was trying to have a rational debate with a true believer, and let's face it—faith and facts don't always play nice together. 😵
@Sophia Moore52, the only way to actually get results is for everyone trapped in these predatory loan cycles to band together, walk into the banks, hand them the keys, and say, "Here's the property, now you can deal with the debt yourselves."
Maybe I didn't use the most polite wording, (even though 😬) but I hope you caught my drift.
Living Wall (just like whoever happens to be in power) plays the populist game. The only thing they actually do to try and help is what I call "firefighting"—trying to assist those who have absolutely nowhere else to go. But since "that's what social services handle," they couldn't care less about the people who are actually struggling.
