    If you are suggesting landlords work harder than renters then you are full of 💩. Period.

    The system is toxic. If you are making your money by sitting on your ass charging people rent you are also toxic. Jesus would agree with this statement.

    If you believe that “anyone can do it” then you are blissfully unaware of the realities that regular everyday people are living. Most people who buy a house were born into positions of wealth. 90% of people born into poverty do not make it out of poverty.

    Wake up.

    If you were born into wealth, good for you. It does not mean you worked harder than anyone else. We do not live in a meritocracy, hate to break it to you. People who work at McDonald’s or in the service industry work ten times harder than anyone who earns enough to buy a house. It’s just a fact.

    But again, if you are a landlord, good for you. Don’t be a shitty person. Rent below market rates if you can, take care of repairs. The system itself is shitty and toxic, but that doesn’t mean you have to be. But…. Until the landlord proves otherwise, they are definitely presumed (rightfully so) to be a shitty individual.

      Yes “anyone can do it”.

      Most people who buy a house were born into positions of wealth.

      Your so fucking stupid for saying that… 10000000% not true. Born into “Positions of wealth.”… wtf do you think this is? Because my dad runs a McDonald’s franchise, is that being “into a position of wealth”?

      Im done. I cant even.

        I will not disagree with the fact that I am indeed very stupid.

        But yes, if you own a house there is a very high probability your parents and grandparents also owned a house.

        You seem to be taking facts very personally. I however do my best not to take facts so personally.

        No one is saying that if you own property you are in the top 1%, that you are somehow the enemy.

        But you do maybe need to work on your empathy skills and understand how other regular folks are living, folks just like you.

        Edit: It’s something close to half of folks who live in poverty in the United States…. Just an fyi

          Im not taking it personally, I think I just need to get offline for a couple weeks. The average person is stupid… we can all agree? I need to recoup. Arguing with all this stupid is doing damage to my brain i think.

      Who are you people?

      If you are making your money by sitting on your ass charging people rent you are also toxic. Jesus would agree with this statement.

      Wtf. I cant own property and charge people rent for using such property? What world are you living in that i dont get to control what I own? These are fighting words
