I know, I know, “water is wet.” But read the article, where sociologists quantify how much people in poor neighbourhoods are exploited by slumlords.
I think it’s also important to point out that the original study also talks about race. I recommend it to everyone who is interested and it’s not even locked behind a paywall!
“The institutionalization of the black ghetto at the beginning of the 20th century increased the exploitative possibilities of landed capital. As the black population in northern cities grew, real estate developers saw an opportunity to make handsome profits by buying up properties on the edges of the ghetto and slicing them into flats. Legal segregation meant that ghetto landlords had a captive tenant base and “had nothing to gain by improving [their] old houses” (Spear 1967, p. 148). The rise of the dual housing market (one white, one black) allowed landlords to charge blacks higher rents for worse housing. In postwar Chicago, blacks paid 15%–50% more in rent than whites living in similar accommodations (Hirsch 1983, p. 29). As late as 1960, the median monthly rent in Detroit was higher for blacks than for whites (Sugrue [1996] 2005, p. 54). ”

Italy’s lurch to the far right immediately shifted Europe’s geopolitical reality, placing a euroskeptic party in position to lead a founding member of the European Union and its third-largest economy. Right-wing leaders across Europe immediately hailed Meloni’s victory and her party’s meteoric rise as sending a historic message to Brussels.” *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.

It took ArcturusXXXIII two clicks to end up on a Tumblr page filled with apparent child porn. They say they’d simply gotten a follow, opened the page and spotted a repost of a questionable image. When they opened the page it came from, they saw graphic images with hundreds, even thousands of likes.
Arcturus reported the content and got an automated response. Then they tried to contact abuse@tumblr.com, but that email was no longer in use. They waited four days, and nothing happened — the images were still there when they checked. Fed up, Arcturus wrote an open letter about the “hotbed of child pornography” on Tumblr, tweeting it at Tumblr founder David Karp, CEO Jeff D’Onofrio and parent companies Verizon and Oath. “Ignoring the problem, as you have done for so many years, is clearly not working,” they wrote.
Three days later, shit hit the fan. First, Tumblr vanished from the App Store, reportedly over its child porn problem. Then came the announcement that rattled the internet: Tumblr would place a blanket ban on all adult content.
for people who didn’t know/forgot why tumblr actually banned all nsfw content in the first place
