    Tips for renting.

    Don't rent from a small landlord. They are almost always tyrants and slum lords

      Absolutely. The larger landlords are still scum but at least they run professional organisations and they won't bring their own petty personal bullshit into the equation.

        Capitalism will make ready it's own demise. Allowing unfathomably large property management companies to flourish and collectivize housing will ease the transition to socialism. They grow ever more ripe for nationalization.

      Honestly, small businesses in general are scummier than big ones. While my buddy at the mini mart was clocking out and then mopping up, I was getting told by my shop steward at the CVS to never skip my breaks.

        As we see time and time again, centralization and planning win out. Larger companies operate more productively because of their scale. This allows, and also enforces, that they adhere to certain expectations. That said, they uphold the fact that they give employees breaks as being an obvious sign of their virtue, despite the fact that all employees deserve breaks.

          I'm not sure it's about centralization. I think having more employees just creates more exposure to lawsuits and labor board complaints. Smaller orgs can vary more, which let's then be both better and worse. It lets there be "ethical" business owners and the scummiest guys you've ever seen. I don't want to be dogmatic about centralized vs non centralized institutions, each do different things well.
