Half a story, told from the 1% perspective, is a trope with the CEEB these days. A manufactured crisis to elicit a singular response. Pity the poor land owner, being held hostage by the big bad tenant. Boo fucking hoo.

Anyone ever had their accommodations “renovicted” or been left idle for a year so the rapacious land owner could jack the rent up? I have and it fucking sucks.

I guess when the system works in favour of the land owners, it’s all OK and just a bunch of whinging peasants. Coverage of renovictions? Puh-shaw!!!

So cry me a river, CEEB, your shilling for the land owners rings pretty hollow here.

Oh no, they want to buy the tenant out of a legal contract and the tenant asks for more than the landlord wants to pay! A purely voluntary agreement doesn’t have terms they like!

These fuckers love a contract when they can unilaterally dictate terms but let the other party have bargaining power, or the right to say “no,” and now it’s unfair. Fuck them.

The video is just so tone deaf. Only at the VERY END do they try to bring it back to sanity. So gross.
