Because landlord isn’t a job, and many don’t go through the effort of even pretending it is.
If they’re a landlord that also does carpentry jobs on a house, that’s what they are. The landlord part isn’t a job.
If they just collect rent and occasionally pay contractors, they’re just as unemployed as a welfare collector that occasionally pays for a therapist or prostitute.
“Job”
Imagine relying on labor for income under capitalism lmao

They’re absolutely not self-employed.
They’re just holding housing hostage for ransom.
I never called it a job.
