      I swear my uncle is a good landlord. Keeps prices low, I swear he doesn’t rip off his renters. He would never do that.

      If there were as many good landlords as I have heard this story we wouldn’t have any problems Kyle, sit the fuck back down.

        Assuming this comment isn’t ironic: there is no such thing as a good landlord. Landlords are parasitic middlemen who live by leeching off the value created by workers. They contribute no value whatsoever.

        This is admitted even in mainstream economics, its termed rent-seeking.
