@LukeAlmighty Both are real but sex work is questionable being a landlord isn't

@LukeAlmighty being a landlord mostly involves just a large investment and then paying other people to do work when necessary (like maintenance). For the most part, it's passive income. All they do is collect money from people. I'm not saying that being a landlord isn't legitimate, but it's not necessarily "work," it's just investment.

Being a sex worker requires you to actually do stuff. You're trading your body, your dignity, and possibly your health for money, but isn't that what a lot of other jobs consist of anyway? It might not be moral/ethical work, depending on who you ask, but it is still work. You're still doing something directly related to the money you make, whereas a landlord is probably playing golf while making passive income.

Sex work is work, but so is Spam Calling or Trading Drugs. Just because you do work of money doesn't make it healthy.

:alexjonesfight: How dare you staying alive you absolute piece of shit. You are the definition of aub-human that uses hit time to make our lives as miserable as possible. You have no illusion about what your job is. You have no higher purpose. You're just rotting the brain of anyone unfortunate enough to believe someone was actually trying to reach them. :blobcatgun:

@LukeAlmighty @LodedDiaper depending on the drug seller they might be like that too lol

Honestly pharmacies get about as bad as the worse drug dealers.

@LodedDiaper @LukeAlmighty tbf the pharmacies don't know anything about the person they're selling the drugs to. That's on the doctor who prescribes the medication. The pharmacy has to assume that the person actually needs what they're buying.

I'm talking about the pricing they put on basic shit like insulin.
Yeah the building just sits there and magically makes money not like you need to manage rentoids lmao

@KaiserKitty @LukeAlmighty you mean, putting your property up on rentler or hiring a realtor? Or the renter asking for something to be fixed so you pay money for a maintenance dude to go fix it? Literally it's just throwing money at something that you believe will continue to generate money for you. It gets even worse when it's not just a single property but a company that manages a whole community, because the landlord isn't the one doing the work to upkeep that, they're paying other people to do it. To fill out paperwork, do maintenance, find residents, take rent, etc. They have just paid a lot of money and they get more money in return, or at least that's the goal.

The people doing the work are not landlords. In the rare case that a landlord is doing work, they're either not doing "landlord work" or they're doing something like filling out forms and printing them off.
