Most people have no ability or funds for recourse and justice. It's just going to be a SOL moment.
My friend has a slumlord next to him doing this, he's charging $250 per application and rejecting everyone. So my friend is renting his spare room to his last tenant and thinking about suing. Fucks up the neighborhood.
yeah, that's not passive income
I did 97 meth deals ($45 each).
That's $4365 in passive income.
I don't even have any meth and just gave them sugar crystals.
Yeah, that's straight up fraud btw
i sue landlords for fraud. passive income.
No I'm pretty sure that's the guy that loves cocain and wants to fuck his mother
No, you're thinking of pioneering psychologist Sigmund Freud.
Fraud is when a rope begins to break one stand at a time

What if I could earn a passive income by scamming scammers? It would be morally correct?
Yes but they have the funds and connections to absolutely nail you to a cross.

"I have passive income" is literally just "I run online scams".
This is no different from people in places like india doing phone call scams.

Application fees? For renting? Man America is cooked.
Don't forget the downpayment and the security deposit and first and last months rent. Oh and if you break the lease you have to pay 4 months rent or the remainder of the rental period, whichever is higher
Don't forget that your landlord forces you to pay through a 3rd party company that charges a "convenience" fee of ~3% so your $600 rent is actually $620.
Ask me how I know.

Lmaooo Dudes, US people have no business making fun of communist if they do things like this. What do you mean you pay for an application for rent a space to living for????
We also sometimes have to pay "pet rent", and no this does not cover pet damages.

Why would anyone want Mao to wake up? The fuck kind of genocide denialism is this?
I think the joke is built on what Mao did to landlords.
Mao is very popular in the PRC, and among Marxists. The modern CPC recognizes his contributions as around 70% good, 30% bad. The Cultural Revolution in particular is a touchy subject largely seen as a misstep, but certainly not a "genocide" either. Same with famine, which was previously common in China but was only ended by the communists in power.
Mao's popularity stems from establishing socialism in China, successfully kicking out the Japanese imperialists and then winning the civil war against the nationalist Kuomintang, and building up a robust system of socialism in early China, accomplishing metrics like a doubling in life expectancy, large (but unstable, as Deng would later stabilize with socialist market reforms) economic growth, banning footbinding, and more.
Give same situation and environment to a landlord see how their reign goes.
