It all goes back to them, doesn’t it?

Landlords do not provide value, they don't do anything at all except own your house and take your income. They don't "provide a service". I shouldn't be out of a home because the housing economy says rent should be high. Housing, like water and health care, is a human right cuz without it you will die.

Huh, I didn't realise noone ever owned anything until capitalism came around in the the early 19th century. The more you know 🌈

Did hurricane Ian not count?

So it’s not wrong to sell a human right, we can agree on that.

I’d argue my landlord allows me to live more stress-free than I would if I were home owning. My fridge broke last month, I called him, and had a new one in two days. This is an expense I would have had trouble affording had I been on the hook for it.

I haven’t mowed a lawn in years because he and his son mow mine, and I haven’t had to worry about replacing a lawnmower or spending thousands getting it fixed every year like my parents…

Tl;dr I do not want to own a home and for me, landlords provide a necessary service

They are chaotic evil. Sometimes for no apparent reason they will do the single greatest act of mercy just to fuck with our heads

No reason other than it was such a horrific time period, so I sometimes just think of it as something that happened a long time ago, if that makes sense.

They make the food. Landlords don’t make land, don’t make houses. They lord.

I understand how in many places the system is awful, I’d recommend reading “Evicted” by Matthew Desmond. I wanted to hug my landlord after hearing how awful they can be lol.

The system is in need of reform, especially with how punitive evictions are, but I think people going into the “landlording is inherently immoral” arguments aren’t contributing anything to the discussion and just making reform-minded people look bad.

As if the Holocaust wasn't bad enough now she has to deal with a New York landlord.

This is so sad

Our* lol

consider yourself fortunate that the AC is your main problem

Yeah, capitalism can be pretty great like that. I'm glad I get to own things, and that I can leave them for my next of kin when I die. Sure is nice.

Why is that?

Is it how it’s taught, or not, in school? Do you live in an area with few Jews? (That you can tell, many of us aren’t stereotypical in looks)

Ok cool, return to fruit 🍌

I understand and I didn't mean to criticize you or your decisions. I just wanted to point out that the reason people say landlords and renting are inherently bad is because they have jacked up rent costs to make even that unaffordable for many. And when you look into why, its primarily greed

Does the landlord inherit her possessions?

Ask that in ranty-work…uh, r/antiwork

Still a landlord tho

It’s a natural cycle, it’s supposed to end. I definitely agree that we’ve thrown off climatological balance but La Niña ending is expected and normal

Our enemy Iran and our enemy the Arabs strengthening relationships is not uplifting news..

Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. Everyone works extremely long hours to the point that there is a population decline crisis because people don’t have time for sex/relationships.

Everyone is not “upbeat and happy” lmao
