ID: A Sophie Labelle 4 panel comic featuring Stephie in different poses, saying:

Landlords do not provide housing.

They buy and Hold more space than they need for themselves.

Then, they create a false scarcity and profit off of it.

What they’re doing is literally the opposite of providing housing.

    Where the cinnamon toast fuck do you live where a service exchanged for money is not done for a profit? Does your town have a grocery store selling goods at exactly cost?

      No, you’re describing a co-op. Which my town does have, right across the street from the for-profit grocery store.

        Ok good, so I guess the coop provides a service.

        How do you get your Internet? Is that a service to you or is someone making a profit? Or perhaps everyone in this sub lives in a communal utopia where services never turn a profit of any kind.
