    I read this and immediately wrote a letter to the faceless corporation that owns and manages the building where I live. I told them how much I appreciate them and how I defend them when people criticize them for frequently out of service elevators, constant false fire alarms, and any other thing that people don’t like. I offered to pay more rent because I feel so bad that they get criticized at all. They said yes, so now I’m paying twice as much because they’re such heroes and I’m just a lowly renter. All hail beautiful landlords.

    Wtf

      So many people forget to tip their landlords. It’s not easy to look in the face of the single mom after doubling her rent 😔

    There’s some narrow slice where a “landlord” does something useful for money like maintaining the property. I don’t want to deal with the plumbing or repainting.

    But almost all of the time it’s just taking money for nothing, or charging way more than that’s worth. That’s not admirable. So fuck them.

      There is really nothing wrong with the idea of shelter as a service (i.e. renting a place to live). The problem is more with buildings as an investment, whether in the form of landlords or home owners living in their investment. NIMBYs are in large part caused by the latter to take just one negative example.

      You are talking about property management, my friend. A “landlord” gets passive income by doing nothing at all; that’s the point of it.

      (Of course a landlord could also be a property manager, but almost none are.)

    I love how they throw out stuff like “Business owners and landlords should be championed” as though everyone already agrees with them.

    My dude, you’re gonna have to try and justify that claim.

      I wonder who they’re talking to everyday if they think this is a commonly held idea

    I thought championed someone meant send them into fights in our name…

    Probably think they are entitled to a tip at the end of the year too.

    Initially read the name as Callum McFuckery and that fit pretty well.
