=== Jealousy And Despicable Rents (03:43) ===

[00:00:03]  So a concerned guy from Australia, I liked this response, says, as despicable as this is, a lot of people recognized how despicable raising rents on people who have handicaps, who are on disability, who are pensioners, who are old folks, raising their rents 60 percent.
[00:00:23]  A lot of people didn't like so much.
[00:00:26]  And a concerned guy says, as despicable as this is, the occupants are tenants.
[00:00:31]  So these aren't their houses.
[00:00:36]  I never thought about it that way.
[00:00:38]  That's so that's actually that is actually true that it's not that the renters don't own.
[00:00:45]  Like, how do you understand that it's despicable?
[00:00:47]  But then, like, isn't understanding the second half is how you know the first half is true of this comment?
[00:00:53]  I don't I don't.
[00:00:54]  What part does he think is despicable?
[00:00:57]  Well, he say, no, it's despicable, but see, they're doing it for money, though.
[00:01:02]  Oh, so you have to understand you have to understand where they're coming from.
[00:01:06]  They get money out of this.
[00:01:08]  True.
[00:01:09]  Also, they don't have to be tenants.
[00:01:10]  No one no one told you you have to be a tenant.
[00:01:13]  Yeah, you could have.
[00:01:14]  I'm not even telling you to buy a village.
[00:01:17]  I'm just telling you to buy a house.
[00:01:19]  A lot of people were like, I guess you should have thought of that before you started renting, huh?
[00:01:24]  Why didn't you?
[00:01:25]  Why didn't you?
[00:01:26]  If this were me, if I were a 75 year old disabled person on $200 of monthly income, I would simply buy my own house.
[00:01:35]  Yeah, easily I would save.
[00:01:37]  I bet I bet I bet you're not going to see any more avocado toast in this neighborhood.
[00:01:43]  Uh, Man United Mick says, that's a pretty decent price.
[00:01:48]  So what they raised rents to, that's a pretty decent price.
[00:01:52]  It's crazy how you just walked past that slur.
[00:01:53]  You just let that slur just come on out and you didn't even, sorry, Man United M word.
[00:02:00]  Thank you.
[00:02:00]  Uh, Yeah, I don't think I can say that one.
[00:02:06]  I apologize.
[00:02:08]  No, I have some Irish.
[00:02:09]  I have some Irish in me.
[00:02:11]  I think everyone does, right?
[00:02:13]  Yeah.
[00:02:15]  I have the percentage that allows you to say the slur.
[00:02:18]  Good, good.
[00:02:18]  Okay, cool, cool.
[00:02:20]  That's a pretty decent price if you ask me.
[00:02:23]  If anything, it feels like the people are jealous of their success and what they do with their money shouldn't be the other's business.
[00:02:33]  You are oh you own my home, and you're raising my rent by 60% none of my business Uh, sorry, you're just mad because you're, like, taking more of your income?
[00:02:45]  Jealous much?
[00:02:47]  Yeah!
[00:02:48]  Yeah, I'm jealous of the person who, like, fits into a role in society that can do that, I guess.
[00:02:54]  I'm not necessarily jealous.
[00:02:55]  I don't want to be that person.
[00:02:57]  I'm just jealous of them being alive, or them being around, you know?
[00:03:01]  Yeah, that would be nice.
[00:03:02]  It would be nice to have that option.
[00:03:07]  You just listen, you can't afford to live in a home.
[00:03:10]  Okay.
[00:03:10]  You're sounds like jealousy to me.
[00:03:13]  Like people say this, though, this is this is a common argument.
[00:03:16]  Anytime you argue about like liquidating the assets of the rich or whatever, they're like, you're just jealous.
[00:03:22]  And it's like, yeah, I guess people some people are jealous that they have like a steady income or they have, you know, food to put on their tables.

=== Stop Pocket Watching (00:37) ===

[00:03:33]  I think that's a, maybe a normal thing to, to covet if you're starving or if you're poor or if you're struggling.
[00:03:40]  Nice.
[00:03:41]  It sounds really nice.
[00:03:43]  But I mean, really though, like jealousy is not cute on anybody.
[00:03:46]  So.
[00:03:48]  You know, just get it together.
[00:03:50]  I'd love for a landlord to tell me to stop pocket watching right after I put $1,000 into their pocket.
[00:03:57]  Yeah.
[00:03:59]  Yeah, for real.
[00:03:59]  For real.
