One thing I’ve learned on reddit is that you never tell people on platforms like that or even this one that you’re a landlord. You could be the best landlord, never raise a reasonable rent, keep a well and promptly maintained property, and LanDlOrDs aRe The ScUm of ThE Earth!!1! is all you hear.
The very idea of being a landlord is pretty evil though? Like in a housing shortage you're hoarding property and profiting off it.
No it's absolutely not. Your comment displays a complete ignorance of the business.
"It's not scalping, iT's A bUiSnEsS!"
Not the same thing.
Purchasing something that there is a limited amount of in order to profit off someone else wanting it. Sure sounds the same to me...
No, wait, they are different. Concert tickets are necessary for survival.
This is a textbook case of "I don't understand that thing, so I'm going to irrationally fear and hate that thing". Making a comparison of two things that are completely different displays that lack of understanding.
This is a textbook example of "I can't defend a thing, so I'm just going to say you're wrong for disliking without offering any actual arguments for it." Making no statements other than "No, your wrong!" Displays your lack of justification.
