Good riddance, I hope this company burns to the ground

The software developers working for this company knowingly tried to make algorithms to flip and profit off of something that should be a human right

Replacing carpets and painting walls, trying to flip for a 20% profit, the people running Z must be geniuses

As a millennial looking at 2 bedroom flats selling for £575k (780k usd, not far from a million dollars) in my area, I cannot help but have tears of joy when corporations who hope to profit off of our desperate housing situation get hit by reality straight in the face

Ask yourself who benefits from housing prices rising. If you lie to yourself that it's people who are trying to move up the housing ladder, remember that your flat appreciating 50% in 2 years means the house you want to move into by selling your flat also appreciates 50%, so you win nothing

It's the rent seeking leeches of society that think that by buying a "portfolio" of houses, they can live out their lives without contributing society in any way

Anyone arguing against this has either a dog in the race, or loose screws in the head
