Huge investment firms' involvement in renting properties is like their involvement in buying up old drug patents. Is it legal to buy a patent for a life saving drug and increase the price 500% because the market will bear it? Yes. Is it ethical? No. Does it contribute anything? No. Same with the synthetic price increases we've seen as huge companies buy up housing stock. I'm not a marxist, but this is just pure parasite behavior. You want to make money ethicaly, contribute. You want to make quick money and don't care about contributing or upending lives? Sell drugs.

The problem is that too many people/huge investment firms are trying to squeeze every penny out of an industry people rely on for their lives. If you want to squeeze profits and don't care about the impact, sell drugs.

They are also upset because China arrested many of their members and literally harvested their organs. Look it up. I watched a falun Gong member get arrested in Beijing in the early 2000s- one of the scariest things I've seen. 5 guys grabbed her, held her over their heads and literally threw her into the back of a waiting van. I'm not a supporter of the group, but they are not making up what they say about the chinese government.
