I never said my only interest is money. At your job, is your only interest money? Do you not feel a social obligation to your coworkers; want to do good for your teammate and your company? Again, talk about a stupid take, as if humans are one dimensional like that. Corporate landlords and hedge funds that own apartment sky rises are probably only in it for the money. You can't say the same thing about every small landlord just because they make a profit.

Bad take, stupid take, he said.

Let me help you - the act of being a landlord, big or small, presupposes interest is money first, everything else a distant second, third and so on.

We're now at the level of a 7 year old, down from about a 10 year old that I started off with. Feel free to engage with what I've said as a whole instead of pedantry over the use of a single word anytime you wish.

Wow, way to not actually read what a person said, and then quote things and say they mean something that they don't.

I get that you don't like the concept of people owning property and renting it to others, but maybe stop arguing in bad faith?

Here's a hint: it's possible to be doing something for the money, but not only do it for the money. It's possible to operate a business, but also be a well-meaning person who treats customers of that business with empathy and compassion.

I don't know the landlord in this subthread, so I can't say if he's telling the truth about how he treats his tenants, but if he is telling the truth, he sounds better than the vast majority of landlords out there. Not just better, actually good.

What would we do without your telepathy powers of knowing what everyone means.

It makes it so much easier when we have you, the telepath come in and pronounce that I am acting in bad faith as a matter of fact.

Don't mind the forum's guidelines that specifically point out to not do this and instead engage with actual arguments that move the conversation forward - those do not apply to you, the telepath.
