I fully get the issues with landlords in terms of coasting off of other people's labor and in general being parasitic. My question is, the resistance I get when I say that someone shouldn't profit off of another person's need for housing is that they bring up grocery stores/ restaurants profiting off of a person's need for food. And I don't really know how to address or answer that. Just wondering if someone can close the loop for me!
simple. people shouldn't have to pay for food, either, and the fact that we've structured society in such a way as to deny people access to basic necessities is cruel and inhumane in the current era of abundance
The best part of not being a succ dem is I have the ideological consistency to answer this question with "food should not be commoditized either."
