@TopWKone @VoxofGod @futurebird you're so close to the truth here. The only reason anyone pays rent is because the police will hurt or kill them if they don't pay and the police will hurt or kill them if they live on unused property. People only pay rent because of the threat of pain or death.
This is how thugs and robbers and landlords make money, but only the last do it legally, because landlords control the state, which is the instrument of the violence their business requires.
Why are you defending this business model? How can you even think it's defensible?
