    next: what if landlords provided you jobs

    next: what if landlords were feudal lords with titles

      What if landlords could conscript you to fight in pitched battles against other landlords' tenants? That tourniquet and the blood stain on your chainmail are coming out of your security deposit, by the way.

      It's fine, because my econ professor says the landlord has an economic incentive to keep you alive as long as you're profitable.

      This is the perfect system.

      cops already provide healthcare services. if you call 911 bc someone is suffering a mental health breakdown and the cops show up & shoot them instead of an ambulance to help them, that is the state euthanizing someone for being "a mental defective", just in a way that we've been conditioned to not view as being similar to when the nazis did it. Same with houseless people, the only medical infrastructure they have access to is cops assaulting them

    better idea for landlords: what if they try diving headfirst into this woodchipper?

    But they don't provide cable, like thats the second clause of your sentence, they considered providing cable and said fuck you pay for it.

    What if we married two things that profit motive has completely ruined people's lives? Sounds great, huh?

      Without landlords, where would housing even come from?

      Do you think workers laid that Formica counter you're eating off of? You think workers ran the cables that provide your iPad with electricity to post from? You stupid idiot. You don't understand how anything in this economy works.

    Great, let's make housing free and make health care universal and any expenses that come up make the landlords pay for them.

    Landlords can't even manage to keep a washing machine in working order. Imagine having to go to your landlord when you get ill

      Can you send me proof that you cut yourself? Oh that doesn't look that bad I'll send a guy next week to sew you up. Just keep pressure on it and drink lots of water. Well not out of the tap though remember I have to pay for that
