ID: A Sophie Labelle 4 panel comic featuring Stephie in different poses, saying:
Landlords do not provide housing.
They buy and Hold more space than they need for themselves.
Then, they create a false scarcity and profit off of it.
What they’re doing is literally the opposite of providing housing.
Don’t ever call what landlords do a service. They do it for profit. It’s not a service.
As opposed to everyone else who actively seeks to make trades that are detrimental to them?
“Service” and “for profit” are not antonyms, nor mutually exclusive.
So does a lawyer, a mechanic, a doctor or a delivery guy. They offer a service in exchange for money.
Where the cinnamon toast fuck do you live where a service exchanged for money is not done for a profit? Does your town have a grocery store selling goods at exactly cost?
No, you’re describing a co-op. Which my town does have, right across the street from the for-profit grocery store.
Ok good, so I guess the coop provides a service.
How do you get your Internet? Is that a service to you or is someone making a profit? Or perhaps everyone in this sub lives in a communal utopia where services never turn a profit of any kind.
