I have no idea where I heard it described like this, probably here or maybe a commie drinking buddy, but they described the current people in charge as "the sons and daughters of capitalists"

Meaning the positions they hold are purely nepotistic, and that they have no fucking idea what to do except for following the path their fathers left for them.

when it comes down to stuff like this, that's completely alien to their experience and there isn't a written in stone "do this to make money" rule to follow they just guess.

currently they feel completely unstoppable, so they ran the math, and decided this one somehow saves money. This could be for a few reasons, but mostly because they are so fucking alienated from the landlord-tenant system they have no idea what it entails and don't understand that you can't just get into a new house after you are evicted.

They have no idea about credit checks and renter's history, it's never come up for them and these things are by-products of the system instead of written into the legislation, so honestly, they'd probably be pretty surprised to find out about it.

I legitimately think most of these fucking imbeciles don't even understand how any of this works.

Expect a screaming hot take from some higher-up in the government saying something like "oh why don't you just look for a new place?" to confirm this theory.
