But aren't the tenants feeding the goose, in that case? With rent? It feels like you've left some important people out.

by ceejayoz 4mo ago
Just to be clear on the analogy, the goose is the tenants, and the person feeding it less every day is the landlord class?

This sounds like a good way to discover being a dick isn’t unique to the homeless.
