Honestly I can't help but feel kinda bad when I read these kind of stories. Like usually these people are the ones fully bought in to this neoliberal ideology that the best way to secure your own future is by exploiting others without realizing that the capitalist machine will just as quickly throw them back into the ranks of exploited workers during crisis.
Yeah that's a good point, that's what makes this humorous to me (much like when small business owners complain).
It's the fact that they're so unsuccessful trying to be bourgeois but failing to even be petite bourgeois. It's like some shitty small business owner who desperately WANTS to be a billionaire like Bezos or Musk, but instead of being evil/smart/rich they're evil, stupid and poor.
I really hate small business owners and these crappy landlords the most. They are so insufferable and always complaining. The rich people I've known IRL are at least reasonable and don't take things for granted instead of thinking the whole world revolves around them.
I guess this is kinda my point. This person probably will end up just getting a job, and at that point they're in the same position as any other worker, possibly with more debt. Sure it's because they tried to exploit people, but when you're absolutely steeped in propaganda how willful is that exploitation?
I guess to kinda crib from Trotsky I think the precarity of the petit Bourgeoisie leads them to adopt the ideology of the ruling class. In this case that's neoliberalism/fascism, but in a society where the prevailing attitude is socialist and these sorts of people are actually educated I think they could be helpful, or at least not get in the way.
I don't really know where I'm going with this TBH, I guess it's just sad to see someone who experienced the detrimental effects of capitalism first hand but will probably for the rest of their life blame what are now likely their fellow workers.
no they got the police to kick the tennant out of their house.
there were no consequences because they still owned the house which is an asset more than equal to the debt as the tenant paid some of the mortgage with their rent
Yeah that's fair I fully admit I didn't read the article. I would say I don't wanna hear whinging about how bad landlords have it but I guess that's kinda what I've been doing in a slightly roundabout way :who-did-this:

they were trying to be a terrible person the fact they're bad at it is their own fault and is therefore only funny.
Also they can simply get a job
