No see I only own one slave. Plantations are a whole other thing. I just bought a single slave at the same auction where they bought 10 with their slavery profits.
It was a real thing, according to encyclopedia.com about 20 percent of slaves in South Carolina were being rented every year by 1800 and the process was outlawed in 1845 based on a fear that slaves on smaller farms would get used to the relative freedom they had there. The average elsewhere was about 5%, so it was never more than a niche practice for a certain class of white landowner that couldn't afford to buy a slave but had enough land to benefit from hiring one temporarily.
None of this in any way detracts from how horrible an institution slavery was. (I don't feel like I need to say that on this site, but just in case)
I hit my limit on feeling horror about the physical abuses of slavery a long time ago, like after you hear how they transported slaves to the Americas in the first place every other horror is just like “yeah sounds about right”
Every time now I feel a new horror about slavery it’s because I hear something about how mundane it was. Like at the American history museum in DC (which is gross) there was a sign from a slave auction and it just proudly proclaimed something along the lines of “Our slaves never run away!” And the idea that you could just say that, with no reflection, is horrifying.
Literally I only rent ONE SLAVE out to people. Just ONE. I got that slave from my dad, I don't need them, I just rent them out to make a bit of extra money. Why is that such a bad thing???? Just because people can rent out 20% of slaves in South Carolina using the money they make from renting out one slave to buy more????
What's the point you are trying to make? Mom and pop landlords aren't bad? Idaho Management not being one doesn't mean mom and pop landlords or business are not bad.
there's literally one good landlord, he was an ex national squash champion, only housed students who wouldn't be buying anyway, he was very kind, he personally fixed things for tenants (and did a good job too), charged the lowest around for a pretty nice place, forgave bills if you really couldn't pay and also paid people to find new tenants when they moved out. miss ya paul
Cue the "Mom and pop landlords aren't always bad because I had a good experience with mine" comments from last month.

AKTUALLY most southern farmers only rented slaves from the big plantations. Totally a different thing.
Lmao wait is that a thing that people say, somehow I've missed that one

I get that with Nazi Germany
Don't look into how the state of California recruits firefighters.

GOOD comment, applies to "small business owners" as well
A company called Invest Idaho Management is probably not a mom and pop landlord.
Check their website. They are a family owned company.
Meaningless marketing copy. Coors is a family owned company.

Why are you trying to put words into my mouth now? I didn't say any of that. I had a pretty simple point and I made it two posts ago.
