If I were to become a serial killer I’d just visit apartments for rent and kill the most cancerous landlords.

I'm a condo super, so I deal with the common areas but the condo units and everything inside is owned by whoever bought the unit. The worst are the landlords that own multiple units, and when anything goes wrong they tell their tenants to call me, the building super.

I have to remind those landlords that I'm the super for the corporation, and they're the super, manager, handyman, administrator for their own units. Those landlords want to own like 10 properties and just collect the money.

Central bankers love this trick, solve inflation by taking money off the poors

I just hope the public is wising up to this. I swear, most people seem to think the wealthy still hold dollars, and can't price inflation into loans. www.wtfhappenedin1971.com

If The Onion wanted to be even more true to life, instead of some guy, they should have shown a corporate office.

Oh I am liking this trend. I absolutely hate this form of self-censorship (like some people writing"sh*t" - what did someone dl to you? Who huer you?), but this I can get behind.

writing"sh*t"

I will never understand why "short" is used as a slur. I mean, I'm not very large, does that make me a bad person?

Funnily in Germany you can get in trouble with the Finanzamt (tax agency) of you charge too little rent.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Same in Italy, the tax office will assume that the landlord would get a part of the rent in undeclared cash
