A human is definitely generating more value than the parking space, it's just most of it is being stolen by greedy capitalists.
64In Soviet Russia, parking space never earn more than human.
But mostly because the waiting list for a Lada was 10 years long.

The United States was dealt its final blow half a century ago at the hands of an Alzheimer's patient by the name of Ronald Reagan.
This is the necrotic stage.
60Naw it was all downhill after Jekyll Island 1913

They’re making us lose our reasons for living. Life’s too hard and not worth it at this stage. Feel bad for all the babies born everyday. The majority of them are going to have hard lives and grow up too hate every second of it most of the rest of the world.
41Then we need to bring violence to boardrooms and executives homes.

Turn that sadness into anger, turn the anger in a deep, boiling rage. You know where to direct it, dismantle the whole system little by little. You know who are the guilty ones, we all do
17oh, you don't think that the capitalist don't want that? who do you think is going to take power in a revolution?
look back, it is always an authoritarian aristocracy.
if you want to make the world better for the working class, we need to enact reforms, not revolutions.

But have you considered there is also less demand for you than a downtown Toronto parking space?? Ha! Check mate!

I dispute that, you haven't seen me striptease yet

More that it's a matter of negotiation leverage. Rich folk find it hard to outwait other rich folk regarding property prices. Poor folk, though? We have a matter of days before we collapse because of our silly 'human needs' and such, which makes it imperative that we be kept desperate, lest our pay even vaguely reflect the amount of surplus value extracted from us.

If you squat the parking space does that mean you can raise demand for yourself enough to receive higher compensation than the parking space alone?

This is the feudal stage of capitalism where the rich recaptured all the real estate and are making tons of profit just sitting on it.
26Feudalism>Mercantilism>Capitalism>Feudalism
I don't think I like this sequence.
5Which is pretty interesting because the "God" of capitalism, Adam Smith, hated landlords.

I was looking at Toronto real estate just for the lulz the other day... 150k$ to buy a parking space... First thing I found surprising is that you can buy a parking space (wtf?) But even more surprising... They sell for more than I paid for my condo 10 minutes from downtown Ottawa 10 years ago 😐
25If you could rent it out for the 27 an hour like they stated above you could start seeing a return in as little as 5 years. Sounds like a great investment.
11It's an amazing investment because it pays for itself AND its value will increase because managers are idiots and are bringing people back to the office.

Catch being you have to live in Ottawa.

Don't open a business downtown unless you have a damn good reason for it. It's a massive real estate monopoly.
10Yeah, um, we are going to need y'all to return to the office for, um, "productivity" reasons.

Just looked at a studio apartment at my old complex. It's $2,995 a month. About $100 a day, assuming a 30-day month. You need to pay hotel prices just to live in a studio apartment (with a lease) here.
8Try having less thoughts and feelings maybe?
5I try

Careful, you might get Georgepilled
4Probably it's an influencer, freelancer or some petty shit like that
1Hashtag rents be like
1Welp, just don't drive then if you can't afford to park the car.
-2Let me ask you all something: does an increase in demand for something raise the price for it, or decrease the price?
-6How about we just get rid of parking in cities, so there will be no complaining about how much they charge for parking. Cars are gay as fuck anyways, just have sidewalks, bike roads, and actually good public transport lmao (tbf not something you can exactly find in most of the US & Canada)
-18Why are you using the word gay as an insult?
20Surely they mean that automobiles are care free, right? ... Right?
5It's okay, I'm gay as fuck too

Public transportation will always have the flaws of making you share a space with strangers and not being able take you to your destination without making a bunch of random stops on places that you don't give a fuck about.

She definitely doesn’t want to know how much some of these girls are making on YouTube and other sites NPC streaming
-18The parking space doesn't make shit. The city is the one profiting, for a space you're using, so dumb. If the parking space was an employee, i assure you it would make way less than her, because it's not a complicated job. There's nothing wrong here, just people bad at understanding economics.
-19"If the parking space were a human being, it would be exploited"
Yes, thank you for so fundamentally hitting the nail on the head, and yet somehow managing to miss the point entirely.

You are less useful to society than a parking space
Man, that’s rough. She should try contributing more value than a parking space does.
-25Image being this out of touch with basic human dignity, and loud about it.
19Not only that, but it's also those who least understand the market who most loudly trumpet its ability to distribute value objectively.
10No disrespect, but you’re struggling pretty hard with real it’s here.

Charge $27/hr to sit in the car all day so it can’t be towed
