And apparently 'money is evil' isn't something widely believed anymore?

And yet I wonder if they go into the grocery store and steal food… probably not.

I am fully in support of people stealing food from the grocery store if they can get away with it. Not even just poor people. Everyone should steal from the grocery store.

I’ve been a renter, an owner, and a landlord

A puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet

Oh. So you used someone else's money to buy something for yourself because you had the advantageous position in a society that deliberately limits housing so that it can be commodified. You both lived and worked and payed into the mortgage, but you were putting money from your hand into your pocket and he was just putting it in your pocket.
