If you work at Timmy’s do a count of how many ice caps you make in a day. Multiply that by the cost. I guarantee on ice caps alone you make more value than you get back in your check
Libs learn about the labor theory of value and are like, “so what if people skim a little off the top? The business has overhead.” This is not skimming. Most people lose more than half of their labor value every day.
It’s called rent seeking for a reason. Value is not being created. It’s being siphoned. The value can only appreciate in value so much compared to inflation (in a lot of areas, the land value actually depreciates once inflation is taken into account). You’re basically paying the landlord to spend your money on stuff that you would have had to spend your money on anyway. If they have a property manager, they’re not even doing that much.
