The unfortunate truth is that your landlord is most likely a corporation or a fund in which things like teacher pension funds are heavily invested in. The days of the villainous individual slumlord are almost fully gone. Cyberpunk corporate dystopia is s where we're at.
There's guaranteed to be a person with skin and bones heading that corporation.
That's not how those work. The person at the top often doesn't know or care about the particulars. All they care is about the overall performance of the "sector". The exec-VP cares about the performance of the "instruments". The people doing the truly vile and evil things are all somewhere in the middle and there are tons of them trying to get that sweet bonus money.
I have said it many times, billionaires should not exist but they aren't the ones that disgust me. The most vile humans on earth are the millionaires with something to prove. They treat people and everything around them, including the environment they live in, the wort. Billionaires buy thousands of acres and turn them into nature preserves, just so they can keep the millionaires away.
They all have skin tho.
True. Instead of a survival tent, maybe we should make a circus tent. It seems a lot more fitting and we will definitely have enough material.
