      Not necessarily true. There are powerful cultural forces at play that they’re not willing to acknowledge, yet alone overcome.

      We’re kind of in the same boat. We think that if we have more, then we deserve more before those who have less. That’s just what these people are doing, only they’re doing it way better than us.

      no, and they’re eager to, but I think if they ever tried to not, things would go badly. that’s bad for the market and drives down everyone elses profits. there would be a lot of solidarity against them by the class of people that own the police.

        “Everyone elses profits” means other landlords and property owners, not people who plan on living in their home.

        Why does being a landlord need to be profitable? Why does being privlaged enough to own a human right come with the right to free money?
