God be damned if these leaches are made to do an actual service.

What do they want at this point? Is it blood? Is it my soul? Are we just expected to start paying these people just for existing?

You have the cushiest arrangement ever. You own the house forever and all you have to do is take care of it while someone else pays you to live in it. How could you want more than that?

I've never owned a business or had employees. But, I can imagine what it feels like to come into work and see all the busy workers at their desks, etc., and knowing you "created" it. Having people knock respectfully on your door and ask questions, making decisions, taking pride in what you accomplished.

That's what they miss, the feeling of power and control. In fact, it's always about power and control first, and whatever the widget is they sell comes second. They don't care about the specific product, it could be any product, they don't care about the workers as individuals, only as a group they lord over, and direct. If they can't see and feel the direct response to their influence, that is the power they hold, then they aren't happy.

I'm surprised they think robots will provide that same high. Don't they know how empty a building full of machines feels?

My god, humans are fucked up.

Citation needed. Also I don't think they understand how renting works.

In other words, if you are planning to move to USA, do not!

Landlord also owns some business he needs employees at to worship his ego.
