Nothing you’ve said here is something I was arguing against. There’s a huge difference between mathematically calculating a good labor economy and basing an entire moral system on arbitrary calculations. Labor hours are concrete, “happiness” isn’t.
Also I agree that landlords suck and that was the point of what I was saying with the example. That a statement as nonsensical as “landlords good actually” can be justified with mathematical utilitarianism because of it’s inherently arbitrary nature
