You know, like how science works? Make a statement, formulate hypothesis, collect and analyze data, make inferences? Sound familiar?
Yeah I think science starts with taking a statement a rando made in the Internet out of its context, then plugging it into some stupid robot and trying to use that to prove or disprove that it applies in a blanket way across the entire universe.
Oh, no that was bullshit I was thinking of just then.
But you’re just so fucking ANGRY, you and everyone in these threads I foolishly engage with.
Yeah I was actually seething while I was out there cracking J’s at the store for a couple of hours. You know what they say, bud? If you bump into an asshole in the morning, you bumped into an asshole, if you bump into assholes all day then it’s actually you that’s the asshole?
That applies here.
You “took time to explore a point” I wasn’t making, at all, by removing it from context and sending me a giant wall of text.
What an unpleasant person you are.
Right back at ya slick.
Left unexplored because we had to plum the depths and try to calculate the incalculable and the unclaimed (profit margins aren’t even reported for all or maybe even most companies because a lot of companies are private), is the fact that it’s a choice to make landlording into a business in the fucking first place.
Left unexplored because we had to plum the depths and try to calculate the incalculable
Have you ever looked at a financial statement in your life? Annual report, SEC reports, balance sheet, income statement, and so on? I highly doubt it. You made a claim about profit margins and I found empirical data and methods to compare American companies to non-US companies.
Here’s the financials for the biggest REIT in the US, as if you have a clue what that means or what to do with it. Pages 89-90 of 148. Go find the biggest non-US analog and run the same ratios I applied before. See what you come up with.
Calculate the incalculable indeed. There it is, go, calculate. Gather evidence and analyze it to support your statement that margins are fatter here than outside the US or whatever you said. We all know you won’t, but there’s a start for you to be less of an ignorant asshole about these things.
And I’m smelling shit all day because lemmy attracts ignorant morons like you who go mouthing off confidently saying unsubstantiated things they don’t understand.
So that’s a no, you’ve never looked at a balance sheet before in your life. You don’t know any key ratios, you don’t know how to compute profit margins, return on equity, efficiency, and other metrics. You don’t know how to find this data, or what to do with it when fed to you. You don’t know how to compile all these data and analyze it to make inferences. You refuse to look at data presented.
You don’t know how to substantiate your own point: “margins are fucking fat in this country.”
So you go around mouthing off about shit you don’t understand, have no way of verifying or refuting, you are hostile towards someone presenting these data and analysis in good faith, and then fall back to ad hominem attacks for good measure.
I say one thing about margins in the context of being a landlord and you think I’m making some point about the whole world.
Which again, you might be able to calculate, maybe, if it were at all fucking relevant…but it’d largely be a fucking estimate because businesses aren’t all public and don’t all expose their statistics. But hey at least ChatGPT can give you an accurate estimate, right? 😆
ChatGPT gave me wrong answers to fucking grade school multiplication questions.
You’re a fucking idiot that runs around harassing people, and you started this thread with the same man baby tone you’re concluding it with.
So again, fuck off.🖕
If you want a block, just ask for a block directly instead of typing people walls of irrelevant text.
My god man I wasn’t attacking you give me a fucking break. It’s an interesting thought and I was genuinely interested in exploring the concept in an empirical analytical manner. There’s tons of hard data available to analyze and draw inferences from. We could’ve had a nice discussion here. But instead you turn out to be a raging cunt and go full attack mode. I just don’t get it.
You forget how you started this fucking discussion because you were just salivating for a place to start spewing business bullshit.
Look up the thread you fucking business bot. You came in here blasting fucking douche bombs about hurr durr that’s how businessing works!!! Look at me I realized that business means selling something for more than you paid for it, and you don’t because you’re an idiot!!! I’m so smart!!
You said that five posts ago and I’ve told you to fuck off in just about every other reply I’ve had to you.
There’s an actual discussion to be had about the landlord industry and which costs and responsibilities it makes sense to pass onto tenants, or if it should even be an industry in the first place, but not with you, Mr business douche (pictured here):

Guys watch out this dude’s read a financial report. 😆
Fuck off. If you’re having such problems on Lemmy with real humans you should just go back to talking to your one “friend” in the world: ChatGPT.

And somehow I’m the asshole here.
Yeah I think I’m done here.
