@bonifartius Agree and appreciate you reading that.

I do believe the whole pyramid downwards is a power-control thing in which, money is about holding leverage ( not losing power control respect from your population as that can mean death for rulers ).

Even given what you said it's more often people are born into luxury and can continue those things and the lower down don't really have chance or head-start (relegated to renting). It's a whole different class of life.

A sort of arbitrary increasing of rent is also not the right way by miles (yes landlord did the whole risk things with the risky bank people and maintenance thing which yes is a hassle, but they are ironically just sub-letters themselves paying for whoever owns the block / leases) so it's like a game of sub-letting within sub-letting for the same things over and over when at some point it's paid and could wait till rebuilding the place to really charge for it again!

So why all this? Keeps people working like work-a-holics as a standard template.

We are forced to need money because it all creates debt faster... and as we chase we make it worse and dig hole deeper. it's not a great game at all and children don't appreciate the crushing as time goes on. Deliberate in design as each generation let's it slip a bit more.

Really no need read.
... it's like never coming out of charging others and then state dictating who gets more per hour in the city when an agricultural person should get 1000x an hour rather than the risk takers / gamblers / meddlers / layers of dictators in other countries / career politicians / bankrupts and how many scandals out of public pocket - literally just paid in full by public to X unknown. All stinks and is related I feel but even just the land lord part is just too much.

You're right for a small amount but I don't like the whole thing of usury or uneven salaries and a whole list of blah...

Measurably 'those' people don't care, or act, or aim to solve, and just piggy back everything to death, from the governments to the partners as banks to even let things get bad, run them into the ground to buy it up cheap or force people to sell their ownership (mortgages and foreclosures).

Wonder why people have to work so hard, FOR GREED! So many rich families - could really buy out the poor outright and still have a chunk of change left (could reset and start again like some royalty did when next in power to alleviate the literal cruel pain upon people) but no the business of trafficking and extracting people this way is doing fine here and abroad probably only barely keeping the lords alive lol - so we must extract more as it's only fair on the pyramid... because there really isn't enough money or suddenly, err disappears from public pots. Oh well, back to work.
