Bro, I’m on your side on this issue, but this is a horrible argument

In which part are you with OP? That UBI is a good thing or that rent isn't and landlords are leeches?

Owning land is not a job. Trading stocks is not a job. These people are NEETS who have found a revenue stream.

Whenever I'm dumbfounded by how people here conflate individual homeowners with corporate lanlords, I have to remind myself the average Lemming is probably 14 and doesn't understand the economics of renting. If you want to start somewhere, look up the 5% rule.

Blaming individual homeowners instead of corporate landlords is like blaming global warming on people who use plastic straws while billionaires take hundreds of flights in their private jets per year.
