    There are some pretty significant differences, but you do you.

    And since I noticed the disingenuous responses to the other person saying this already, I'm excited for people to respond to this comment by fallaciously assuming I indicated either of these was better or worse than the other. I said they're different.

      Care to explain how they are different, I'm not saying being a landlord and a ticket scalper are the EXACT same thing. Im saying they are both Parasitic on society. The onus is on you to prove they are not both parasitic, if you disagree with this meme. Go ahead!

        Ticket scalpers take way more risk, plus they don’t get sympathetic coverage on the news when they’re whining that people aren’t buying their tickets at a high enough markup. Also ticket scalpers aren’t withholding a fundamental necessity from people. Ticket scalpers work harder, too.

        Really, ticket scalpers are just incorrigible scamps compared to landlords.

    Those ticket scalpers and land lords are providing an economic service to you by taking the risk that they miss the show or have to pay their own mortgage! It's a very useful service for you!
