REACH OUT TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES
Hello,
It has recently been widely reported that the FBI raided a corporate landlord in Arizona due to their use of RealPage to engage in price-fixing. I have reason to believe that RealPage has been used by landlords in [state] as well, so I am curious to know if [state] renters that may have been victimized by landlords using RealPage will also be able to depend on our elected officials to step in and enforce the consumer protection laws that we need in order to fight back against the wildly predatory price increases we have been experiencing from so many different directions. Please tell me this is an issue where the real people of [state], and not the corporations that speak far too loudly with their dollars, have our representatives behind our backs.
When and if wrongdoing is found, can we also expect to be fairly and fully compensated for the greedflation that landlords stole? And if those costs are too high for a particular landlord to bear, perhaps ownership of the effected properties should instead be transferred to the government to establish more low-income housing facilities and in doing so, help address crises in housing, homeless, and skyrocketing costs. What if we start treating corporations with the same uncaring hand they treat consumers, instead of handling them with kid-gloves? Can [state] citizens count on your support in keeping our people, not our corporations, as your top priority?
Respectfully, [name]
Instead of forking so much of our tax dollars directly over to corporations, how about we try dispensing those awards directly to the American people so we can spend it where we think will be best?
Let’s just end the thing where the government transfers money to corporations. They like healthy competition, right? So if your corpo doesn’t get their fun-money because I spend my kickback funds elsewhere, that’s just business, right?
The money will all trickle up! It’ll be great for the corpos and rich folks.
Leave it, it is very well-written and it also made my day to read
Didn’t George Floyd get murdered because he paid with a counterfeit? And assholes like this are proud of it.

I too remember it through the nostalgic lense of Pizza-Hut-cup-tinted glasses. And with the Book-It program, there was even more reason to keep asking my parents to take a trip there!
I’d pick J.R.R. Tolkien and Middle-earth, no hesitation
That’s just, like, your opinion…
