#Rentier
Das sautierte Rentier mit Kartoffelpüree in der Ravintola Kilpis weist - im Gegensatz zum Züri-Geschnetzelten mit Rösti in der Kronenhalle - ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis auf. Das gleiche gilt für das saisongerecht ausgestaltete Angebot im K-Market und in der Sportbuttik nebenan.

Many refuse to participate in illegal wars which are manufactured to profit the rentier class. Cowardice is not taking a stand against killing for the sake of corporate greed. Trump is not part of this group. He’s a coward bc he cares only for himself.

The Single Replaceable Party do NOT want you to know this! Not about the Water industry, nor about any of the other extractive, rentier owned utilities sold off to her mates by Mrs Thatcher <spits>.
Anything the UK Government says about how much it would cost to bring water back into public ownership is absolute bullshit. They're saying this because they simply don't want to & are being told to lie (as usual) to the public. Privatisation only benefits the rich. #PublicOwnershipNOW!

My set of Collected Works of V.I. Lenin in English. Progress Publishers (Moscow | USSR | 1960-1974) in 45 volumes+2 index volumes. A genius & an inspirational revolutionary socialist. A great friend of every working person who ever lived. Books—old school anti-capitalist-rentier technology!

Interesting to see how that goes. I don’t think you actually need new AI specific regulations.

If you were regulating the big tech companies to stop all their rentier enshittifying BS you’d be on your way to getting useful AI too.

If you can’t even do that well good luck usefully regulating AI

I hadn't really thought of this but yes, being against artificial meat or milk for cultural or religious reasons but for artificial intelligence is a wild contradiction.

(It only makes sense in rentier capitalism)
A technology I’m really excited about is lab grown meat, and the right is actually using its state power to prevent this technology from coming to fruition, but there has been far less hand-wringing about that than the organic consumer rejection of AI

Tice is particularly slow-witted, even for a Reform adherent. He's not a real businessman or entrepreneur, just poses as one = he's a mere rentier, a property parasite sitting atop a property empire he inherited from his family.
Trade Union Congress: "Young people: We can't afford our rent.

Multi-millionaire Reform MP Richard Tice: We're going to cut your pay."

Wouldn't nativism be natural in pit villages because they were rentier economies, albeit ones that after nationalisation increasingly benefited the miners themselves?

Sympathies mate; the rentier fuckers that are currently allowed to get away with this theft, will be some of the very first, up against the wall.

BTL suffering—cause of interest rates yet still controls about 40% of former council homes—now rented back at fantastically higher rates as gentrification rips through outer London's working-class areas.
Pensions are now basically properties—wealthier/luckier people—endless rentier incomes forever.

Building 80% more Luxury homes when Council Houses are needed is abuse of society.

We understood this was a bad thing 100 years ago when the rentier economies of the 1920s led to economic collapse, war and in the 1940s understood housing should not be an asset for the wealth & business alike.

i understand everyone definitely wants to be a rentier but this is much more base and stupid than that, this is like on the level of canal schemes in mid 19th century england or whatever

The rentier class knows it is useless without dependence.
February 17, 2026 at 10:56 PM
it sure is helping the rich achieve their dream of making rentier capitalism the norm!

My galaxy-brain take on Consumption Discourse is that ultimately we are dealing with is that modern consumption with an increasingly rentier model is both more hollow on a spiritual level & is more in the forefront, which makes us feel bad but we're only 'allowed' to perceive it as a cost question.
I think what's missing from the constant "cost of living" discourse are:
- what's different is that lot's more stuff today is subscription, pay-as-you-go, etc, which changes our relationship
- I think the increase in consumption is simply making us more cognizant of the consumption itself

For decades, Orange County has been ground zero for land speculation. Systematic rentier exploitation has been a core of the local economy- & power structure -since before Nixon based his Presidential campaign there: the one he lost in 1962.
The fact OC Register publishes this now is a sea change.

So while we argue over a bullshit article—with people annoyed at homes not being built on areas insurance will pull out of.

But Greens are halting progress?
While Lib Dems Labour Tories & Reform want a homeostatic rentier economy—No one finds that odd?

Islington's a rentier playground by design.
High Prices through demand controls and building almost exclusively for the wealthiest in society.

Blind building fixes nothing—especially on fuckin floodplains (the article ignored that part with the School Kids' Objections).

Too much misinformation.

Sarcastic jab at the flippancy of "builders = housing fixed."
It plainly doesn't.
80% luxury at £660k doesn't house nurses or teachers—it's just building more assets for rich people to own for the rentier economy the Tories and Labour have designed for the UK.

Neoliberalism in housing = fucked.

Ei ne kaadu. Rentier capitalism on ollut vallalla jo vuosikymmeniä.

The life of a rentier is inherently more stable and less demanding than the producer. Why wouldn't Big Tech welcome a world where every facet of the computer is like Xbox Game Pass? Personal Computing will become a political cause and will have to be fought for by aging millennial and zoomers.
