Why did you put the word job in quotations?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because landlord isn't a job, and many don't go through the effort of even pretending it is.

If they're a landlord that also does carpentry jobs on a house, that's what they are. The landlord part isn't a job.
If they just collect rent and occasionally pay contractors, they're just as unemployed as a welfare collector that occasionally pays for a therapist or prostitute.

They're absolutely not self-employed.

They're just holding housing hostage for ransom.

I never called it a job.
