I realise they don't care, and are disingenuous about their suggestions... But these people think the solution for people not being able to afford shit is "get a, better job" or in this case specifically, "become landlord"...
How do you expect society to function if every, single, person, is a landlord? Who's building the houses, cleaning after tenants stay, growing, harvesting, preparing food... Electricity?
Like, it just blows my mind that people espouse dumb shit like this and get a pass from most people
Someone that used to hang out on the Discord server I'm part of justified it because "the world is divided between winners and losers. For there to be winners there have to be losers."
He was a real privileged asshole who worked in accounting for the US military. Loved how his paycheck was bigger than most soldiers, even some officers. Bitched for nearly a whole month about how the Obama administration was giving "free handouts" when the US pulled out of Afghanistan and gave all the veterans a care package.
I argued with him a lot. Nobody liked him. This is the kind of person the people from OP's meme are.
