[02:08]	admfubar	"You've probably 'stumbled upon' a Chick Tract or two in your day. You  may not have realized they were left intentionally by people who were  attempting to save your soul, but that's the beauty of their design.  They're small, punchy, vividly illustrated and they offer easy to  understand, morally unambiguous answers.   Many people may not know the man behind these kid-friendly 'witnessing  tools.' His name is Jack Chick, and he was
[02:08]	admfubar	 an evangelical firebrand with  questionable associates. The entire premise of the theology presented  in these tracts was based on misleading information from dubious  sources. Never mind that they scared the 'hell' out of young children,  and left many of them psychologically scarred for life.   I'm examining a bit of the backstory of "Chick Tracts" to provide a  little insight on the madness behind the messaging."

[02:26]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, There were apparently over 250 of these things at various times.
[02:26]	Isambard_Prince	But about 100 in print right now.
[02:27]	MinceR	jack really overdid it
[02:27]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], My last apartment....
[02:27]	Isambard_Prince	172 Stanton Street, New York City, only without the rent control.
[02:28]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[02:28]		*admfubar (~admfubar@ae6yc8gqwe7jq.irc) has joined #techrights
[02:29]	Isambard_Prince	I got an advertisement for a company called "Arrival" where people are "investing" in rental homes without "having to deal with tenants". The company is just assuring them that between rent and "appreciation" they "should" make a profit.
[02:29]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], Pesky tenants.
[02:30]	Isambard_Prince	With pesky pests.
[02:30]	MinceR	pesky customers
[02:30]	MinceR	pesky users
[02:31]	Isambard_Prince	172 Stanton didn't really need to come down. It was a ruse.
[02:31]	Isambard_Prince	The city didn't want to go through a process to get rid of affordable housing.
[02:31]		*admfubar has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[02:31]	Isambard_Prince	So they told everyone it was about to collapse and then brought the building down with all their property and even their pets inside.
[02:31]	Isambard_Prince	Through the mayor's "office of emergency management".
[02:32]	Isambard_Prince	Then they built expensive hipster yuppie apartments.
[02:32]		*x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
[02:33]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, In the past 50 years, no afffordable housing or rent controlled units have gone in.
[02:33]	Isambard_Prince	If you have a rent controlled unit, you will never move no matter what's going on in there.
[02:33]	Isambard_Prince	Because the alternative is living in someone's closet for $4,000 a month.
[02:34]	Isambard_Prince	Like San Francisco.
[02:36]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, They knew people in 172 Stanton would organize and try to stall or defeat a demolition.
[02:36]	Isambard_Prince	So they woke everyone up and forced them to leave and said it was an emergency and knocked the building over before any court could decide what was going on.

[02:37]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, They handed them $50 and let them stay three nights in a motel by the airport.
[02:37]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[02:38]	Isambard_Prince	Then they said they weren't "officially" homeless unless they found a shelter bed *and* stayed there for 50 days.
[02:38]	Isambard_Prince	At least in Chicago there was a good reason for tearing down Cabrini Green.
