Easy. Buy 100 homes in my city. Become a landlord. Barely ask rent so it's technically not gifting. Use my infinite money to maintain the homes so people have affordable decent housing. Profit for all!

Short time later your homes are in ruins and your broke from continuously fixing your houses.

Found the idle rent seeker, or worse, a bootlicker for idle rent seekers.

There is a reason why capitalists and socialists both hate landlords, they are a relic of feudalism.

You sound like you need a warm cookie and a glass of milk

You sound like you're an asshole.

So when someone calls me a boot licker and other names I should smile and be happy? Good luck with that

If you don't wanna be insulted, don't simp for the oppressors. I'd insult you if you said "I love absolutist monarchy!"

You could always stop and wonder why they're calling you a bootlicker, but most bootlickers are bootlickers because they lack the ability for introspection.

You sound like you need a peasant's revolution

I sincerely doubt that the maintenance bill for 100 houses is going to exceed a billion dollars any time in for foreseeable future.

Nah, I guess tips will cover the repairs

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Tips will cover the furnace or the shingles when they wear out?

Damn those would be some nice tips.

Always be sure to leave a good tip to your landlord/landlady

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

What’s the difference between paying rent or leaving a tip (which is going to be used to cover expenses)?

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

I do, it’s called rent is 5x more expensive than it needs to be.
