You severely underestimate the number of people who lack ambition, life skills, discipline, and financial responsibility. It may seem easy to you but to people without these things, it’s like climbing a mountain.

It only makes sense to those who are illogical.
People love to hate what they don’t understand. People have been hating other people and things they don’t understand for thousands of years.
The mention of “chads” in various comments makes me think of those articles about incels. Is that where you were going?

Because society agrees it is.
Because we’re using very basic factual definitions.
Job = performing work
explain the logical holes in your ideas
There are no logical holes in my ideas. I’m explaining basic facts.
Being a landlord is a job. There’s no exploitation with renting out properties. People expect to get paid for their job. This is an extremely simple concept. I can’t fathom why you’re not understanding. Maybe I need to make it even simpler?
- Landlord = self employed
- Self employed = Charges for services rendered
- Rent = Payment in exchange for services
renting prices are effectively almost exclusively profits for the owner of the rented space
This isn’t even true either.
It’s not exploitation because people have a choice of where to live. There’s hundreds of rentals in any given area and millions of rentals across the country. There’s not just one place for people to live. There’s also the option of living with family or friends.
Landlords buy buildings --> More available rentals so people have more choices on where to live
“Some say” --> meaning those who like to post uneducated things on the Internet. AI takes stuff from the Internet. Ergo, it’s going to spew garbage at times.
No one’s forcing anyone to rent any specific place. People have a choice. There’s thousands of rentals. They can live with family or friends.
If people want to build equity in something, they can buy their own property.
There’s nothing exploitative about trading money for a service. People trade money for services every single day. You want your oil changed for you? You pay someone to do it. You pull your car into their facility, they use their tools, and you gain a service – for a price.
Being a landlord = running a business. Being a small landlord= running a small business.
Yes this is exactly what’s being discussed.
There’s no exploitation. Paying rent is simply trading money for a service.
Most of Lemmy’s users disappoint me.
This is a textbook case of “I don’t understand that thing, so I’m going to irrationally fear and hate that thing”. Making a comparison of two things that are completely different displays that lack of understanding.
Not the same thing.
And that has nothing to do with landlords.
Being a landlord means being self-employed. There’s no set 8-5 M-F schedule like there is when working in an office.
It could mean meeting a contractor at 7:30am on a weekday or it could mean working on the weekend. Or staying at a property until 11pm painting to get it ready for a tenant.
Well then it doesn’t make sense because being a landlord has nothing to do with exploitation.
Another person who doesn’t know what they’re talking about who is anti-business.
