Ah yes because it's not the landlords it's the slumlords

Because there's a difference /s

One exploits the poor

The other exploits the middle class

[-] krimsonbun@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 11 months ago

there is no lower class or middle class or upper class there's only working class and ruling class.

There is still a massive difference between poor people living in slums and people with comfortable, but not ridiculously high income living in a better area.

[-] ironhydroxide@partizle.com 9 points 11 months ago

This is true, but only if you leave out the upper band of the comparison range.

It's like saying that there's a massive difference between the size of a rice grain and the size of a loaf of bread, but leave out the literal planet in comparison.

But there's a continuum of varying degrees of passive income royalty between the two.

Any minute now the study on whether or not rocks are hard is coming out too. Big week in science.

There are bendy rocks, there aren't moral landlords.

Slumlords exploit the poor who live in slums, landlords exploit the middle class who live in slightly better buildings

No true landlord would exploit the renter.

Those are slumlords. Which are mostly Scotsmen.

There's the reason they call them BIG think. Truly next level.

But seriously is the study actually any good? Or the article?

[-] dopeshark@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

Water is wet, new study finds

[-] faceless@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

no fucking way

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 14 points 11 months ago

That is some crazy big thinking there, bud.

What? No...

Someone is a landlord and doesn't like to think about the exploitative nature of rent-seeking, and is feeling guilty about it.
