    In a capitalist society, raising prices on victims due to supply and demand is rational behavior.

    The problem here is less with the landlord and more with the system we live in. It motivates everyone to have antisocial behavior.

      I agree that the system we live in is partially responsible, but it has never motivated me to be a piece of shit. People are still responsible for their actions.

        We don’t know what situation the landlord is in. Maybe they are also turbo fucked. The human instinct to survive is strong.

          If someone pinches me in the face, I guess I can safely assume you will be okay with me punching you.

          It’s the same logic, and it’s fucking disgusting.
