    "Oh umm.....I'm a landlord too!....yeah, totally! AND a small business owner! Can the US now start giving a damn that I can't live off of minimum wage!?"

    Actually read the article too:

    The woman, who asked blogTO to use the name Lori, says she bought a home in North York in May 2021 but that soon after she bought it, she got transferred to work in Stouffville. She decided to rent out the home to a young family... But since Sept. 1, the tenants haven't paid any rent and now owe about $14,000. When Lori goes to the home to ask for rent, they argue that it is their home and call the police.

    Unbelievably based and Mao-pilled :mao-shining:

    Honestly, sad -- they should be able to live on one job. We need better jobs.

      Yeah, apparently the landlord teaches. Which, unless you're one of the lucky few to teach at a public school, is such a shit job. Private schools try to only pay you for hours "worked", which seems to basically be in-class hours, often look for advanced degrees, and will essentially make you design a curriculum, while expecting you to get paid a bit above minimum wage. Such a shit-show.

      There are so many potential public work projects. But if we're good we will get basic income and DLCs.

    Landlordism (alongside something related) needs to fucking die a painful death at the hands of the very people who get fucked over by it.
