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.

      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?

        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.
