The way they’re viewed really isn’t the problem. Someone being imprisoned and forced to work really isn’t affected by the man with the whips opinions of them, because of they slave away they don’t get whipped. They’re existence has been stripped too bare for such distinction to make a difference. Slavery is like war and war never changes.
I call them “pavement princesses” since they’re driven by office types most often who have no interest in offroading, which is the original intended use for lifted rigs. They’re all rich sissies that want a giant truck for taking their fifth wheel to the lake because they’re scared of driving a bus

So the first point is simply false, the second point is symptomatic of the third point which is simply an example of a poor policy.
Also the second half of the third point is completely fucked off. If new construction were exempt from rent control then your ROI would be better on building units than buying units.
Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the...
I used to pirate a lot more when I couldn’t afford to fill my media desires. Nowadays I’m a bit more principalled, I’m not paying collector prices for old super Nintendo games for instance. That shit gets emulated and if I’ve already bought a game on console, especially if I bought a standard and “complete” edition, I’ll likely piratd a PC copy for modding and the like.
