    What if instead of a 30 year mortgage on this new build we just did an indefinite one, where you pay me for the right to live and work on the land, so long as you pay up your fair share of produce and profit to us of course, but I continue to own all the land?

    What do you mean peasants used to get holidays and festivals off? No you can't have that, or a weekend either before you ask!

    This is just going to force a lot of people into debt that they didn't take on themselves. Just reduce fucking house prices you greedy bastards!

    Even without the abbreviation period it's a true statement.

    No 10 would consider 50-year mortgages because to be a 10 you have to be in favor of economic equality.
