Don't be fooled Billy, it's not really a job, more of a parasitic relationship (lemmy.world)

So apparently buying a house, furnishing it, maintaining it, complying with various codes and regulations, and making the house available for someone to live in for a period of time for a sum of money is "parasitic". Not sure why, or why the same logic wouldn't apply to anything of value someone makes available to others for a fee.

The same logic applies to all rent seeking behaviours
