A way to possibly think about mold, economically.

[Guest guest]

I just had a thought. In the current atmosphere of financial

speculation on real estate, certainly a lot of the money that various

entities are saving by not doing maintenance, using cheap materials,

using land which shouldn't be built on, etc. is being used to fuel

their financial speculation in more real estate, etc.

So what in essence is happening is that lives are being borrowed from

to make others profits, with the people whose lives were borrowed from

almost never being able to get their 'money' (health, time, destroyed

cells, etc.) back.

That creates a terrible imbalance where the free market system is

really failing because of this lack of accountability. The only way to

stem that would be to make it MUCH more expensive for them to borrow

these 'funds' from the poor and helpless they are borrowing them from

now with impunity.

If there was some way to link the money being made by not having to

maintain with the people who were being asked to sacrifice their

health so that others dreams could be realized at their expense, that

would be good. Kind of like REAL 'tort reform' in which suddenly

people who were hurt could actually recover something proportional to

what they had lost and not a tiny fraction if any.

Because right now the people are being asked to subsidize the real

estate speculations by allowing their homes to not be maintained and

they are not seeing any gains at all from this, while others are. They

are instead losing their health needlessly. That health is worth money

(even if their incomes are low, their lives must be worth something,

right?) and they should be compnsated not just for the cost of medical

care but enough to stop this from being done in the future. In order

for that to happen people need to see suing not just as their right

but also as their moral obligation. And society should give them

access to legal tools to make the process easy and direct and it

should do that for free.
