It's a tough "job" but someone "has to" do it

What really gets me about these landleeches is that literally getting property for free, paid for by someone else, isn't even enough for them. Nope, equity is worthless, gotta have cash on their pockets after paying the mortgage and expenses to count as "profit."

I'll never forget the moment when it dawned on me that taxes were paying for the mortgage of the fucking idiot that I rented my flat from. I'd been out of work, and she rented to us knowing that we'd be using housing support to begin with. When we missed the second month's rent she phoned me up and yelled at me, accused me of "sitting on my arse, pissong people off".

And I had this moment of clarity that, far from being genius entrepreneurs, most landlords are just lucky enough to have the deposit for a second property, which they'll rent out and let the council pay the mortgage.

So I told her to fuck off.
