Having a place to live is one of the primary needs people have. Why shouldn't you be able to make an income off of that? Everyone lives off of other people's labor...unless you're subsistence farming or something.
I'll give you the banker one though.
- branchless 10y agoHousing is a basic need and western finance and govt structures work to skim off labour through land. If you are borrowing to rent out you are simply a debt collector for the banks. We used to have decent manufacturing jobs where the other half didn't have to work who could run a car, had good hours and enough money. Now land is the primary cost for every family. The same pile of bricks for more of your labour. You happy with that? It's the system not the cost of building or materials. Think of the advances since the 1960s in materials and construction.

- branchless 10y agoThat is the exact reason why these vultures should be curtailed.
