   Pro tip: Every time you see the word “inflation” in the news, just replace it with “record-breaking corporate profits”.

     @lachlan @Chelleville

     Don't know how it is in your area, but e.g. in Spain over 15 % of the total and over 40 % of the newly built apartments (means that their proportion is increasing steeply) are in the hands of "large landlords" that usually can be considered as a "company".
     However, I agree with your take that landlordism is (generally) parasitism. And converting individual into landlords is one of the pillars to achieve a permanent shift towards conservative politics, achieving a significant of the population being worried about how to maintain the status quo of exploitation because they have skin in the game.
     Private pension funds are another strategy alike.

     @Chelleville Not 100%. Lecherous landlords are included in that too.
