      8/ ...and if it's a big corporation, is it ok then? Who do you think owns "big corporations"? Normal people, to a large degree, via retirement savings, investments, and such. Maybe retired Mrs Smith doesn't own a second house - maybe she owns shares in a fun that owns REITs.

      9/ And aside from celebrating theft in the short term, what does this "ha ha screw the landlords" accomplish in the medium and long term? How does it alter incentives? You absolute God damned children. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

      10/ You're not just celebrating eating the seed corn, you're celebrating burning down the grain silo so it's harder to store seed corn over future winters.

      Yep. The house I'm renting belongs to an immigrant family. They moved across the country for work, and their property investment is now a source of income. How dare they realize the American dream.

      14/ RT @mr_archenemy back in the 90s i rented an apt in a 2 family from a wonderful tibetan family boot-strapping themselves into middle class from off the boat. (tho maybe not "by themselves" i suspect local diaspora pools money to stake new arrivals, which is also awesome)

      My landlord (until we bought a house a few yrs ago) was a little old widow from our church whose husband had assembled a few houses to rent as passive income to care for them in their old age. Anyone saying “screw landlords” is literally wishing ill to a poor old widow.

      18/ I find it hilarious that @dseddon91 tagged into the thread to say that the idea that landlords might be middle or working class is laughable ...all while dozens of people tweet me their stories showing that it's truehttps://twitter.com/Mr_Boffin/status/1290377481128538112 …

      My grandparents ran a realty/contracting business in Holland through WWII. (big help with his resistance work, but that’s another story) After they moved to the US they did t/same, & after he died she kept the realty side going until she was almost 90. Little old ladies indeed.

          My mom scrimped & saved for 30 years to have a beach house on Cape Cod. She rented it out during the winter to pay for itself. OMG, the problems she had! In the 12 years she owned it she had TWO reliable winter tenants. When she died, we couldn’t get rid of it fast enough

          The arbitrary distinction between "business/property owners" and "workers" is a key component of the "envy is good" (im)moral framework.
