> Another kind of rent seeker would be a dude building a small SAAS product by stitching together other people framework, paying a copywriter for his blog content and a designer for his visual. Another is a dude investing his money in bonds/stocks hoping for a return.
Yes, we are in agreement.
> There are many kind of rent seeker in this world. Each requiring a different set of skills, expertise and appetite for risks. Someone doing that through real estate is called a landlord. It's not better or worse than any other kind.
Let's not put makeup on this particular pig. I am a rent-seeker myself. Just not a hypocrite that will pretend that I have a particular set of skills that contribute anything to the world.
I just saved money acquired through labor and bought dividend stocks.
