Not all rent is giant corporations. My mother is a retiree who basically pays her living expenses every month by renting out the first floor of her two-floor home. "All rent should be suspended" would drive her into bankruptcy, and ultimately leave both her and her tenant without a place to live.
- bsanr 7y agoUnder the circumstances, the only living expenses should be gas and food. If someone who owns hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of capital doesn't have enough money set aside to weather a bad month, hopefully they've been kind and fair enough to their tenants to receive help, or have supported community efforts to help feed those in need and can receive support in turn. Like, this is why people need to be active participants in their interests, and in the things around them.
- Anon1096 7y agoThere is still taxes, mortgage, upkeep, and many other daily expenditures of life to pay.
- arkades 7y agoCalling it "hundreds of thousands of dollars of capital" somehow makes it sound like massive wealth, as opposed to the single accumulated asset of a lifetime of lower middle-class labor.
- bsanr 7y agoIt's not pennies, and it's supposed to be evidence of fiscal sophistication. That's what Capitalism is marketed as: the people who are most responsible and talented gain the most wealth. Are you telling me it's not true?
