So who actually built them?
Because you don't seem to be connecting the points together. Lead a horse to water but can't force it to drink kinda situation.
Landlords didn't do anything but have capital. Workers built the damn thing.
That's the water I was talking about.
smh at the products of the American school system
you're replying to someone who said landlords are unnecessary middlemen in the construction of housing. your mocking analogy is "people buying things with credit cards". do you not see how funny a self-own that is?
the landlords are the credit cards in your analogy. people bought things before credit cards existed. people built housing before landlords existed. landlords are as necessary to the building of housing as credit cards are to the buying of toilet paper.
tho I wouldn't be surprised if you thought Buttcoin was necessary for cleaning your shitty ass.
