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.
I honestly wouldn’t be so upset about a “mom and pop” landlord that is renting their basement or garage (where I currently live…) if they weren’t charging more than their fucking mortgage for it…
It’s infuriating that I’m paying for their house but I have to live in a garage because I was late to the party and new loans/house prices are absolutely bat shit insane…
But but “the market!”
The market:
Disgusting freeloaders.
The Market is also why my company tells us our pay is low, our raises are terrible, and next year we have to take shitty Cigna health insurance and like it. (And is Absolutely definitely not because CIGNA is suddenly one of our single largest clients who we also just closed a new additional deal with.)
Sounds like a conflict of interest!
Hey, this is America. Bribing our leaders is how we
neverget things done. You sound suspiciously like one o’ them sociacommies… (Please ignore the fact that they today announced that the Employee Satisfaction survey that normally happens in October, is now pushed forward to January. So either we’re all getting canned in January, or they for some reason think people will be happier AFTER the new plan begins. They are not very bright, so I’m not certain.)It’s funny because the day before I read that comment I took a compliance course on ethics lmao.
