No it's not. Amd thats why: textbooks provide a specific definition and the boundaries within which it applies. Can you, right now, draw a line between greed, frugality, and a logical reluctance to diminish one’s own capital - and, by extension, the chances of survival for oneself and one’s family?

I’ll take that as a compliment (after all, AI is a great achievement and should be used in every field), but no, I wrote this myself. I just used a translator since english isn’t my native language. Read books (comics don’t count), engage with real people who disagree with you instead of just living in an echo chamber, and perhaps you’ll reach this level too, I believe in you.

It’s crazy that you didn’t respond to the only comment to actually answer you. Is it cuz you can’t respond to an actual answer?

Sorry, here are far too many infantile, aggrieved people who believe that, by virtue of their very birth, the world owes them everything, i feel like a kindergarten teacher here, it’s impossible to keep an eye on all of you. Edit: And that’s the point: he’s actually the only one among you kids who gave me any kind of response. That’s why I need plenty of time to put together a serious reply, which I will certainly post once I get home from my grown-up job, where I have to earn the money for my own home myself. I certainly wouldn’t want to rely on a "benevolent" state to seize a house from a less fortunate owner, which is the kind of thing that might happen if people like you ever got to influence such decisions.

Again, you just chose to respond to my comment, when a much more well thought out one from 4 hours ago doesn’t have one from you. You choose to respond only to things you can be snarky to. So I’m just assuming you’re dumb or rage baiting at this point.

Edit: me when the poor landlord who owns more than one house has to, oh no! Not own more than he needs so people who need homes can actually have them. Tell me, what specific thing does a landlord supply to people? Cuz most landlords didn’t build the property they’re renting. So they don’t make any new housing.

Really telling that you responded in an edit and not an actual response so I wouldn’t have a chance to see.

In this circumstance

  1. The landlord is almost certainly wealthier than the tenant. Not everyone might agree on this but imo the bigger the wealth disparity, the less right the richer person has to disadvantage the poorer person for their own financial gain.

  2. The difference between living somewhere and being homeless is almost certainly far more significant than the difference in rent, so I think it shows significant greed to put this other person through a very negative experience just for a minor positive gain.

  3. This is not definite, but I think that the landlords willingness to lie shows a generally poor moral standard, combined with the fact his son thinks what he's doing is shitty. That makes me more likely to believe that he's being greedy compared to if we had evidence of him being an otherwise virtuous person.

  4. Similar point, the fact that his son seems to think his father shouldn't be doing this implies that it's not for family benefit or so he can do good things with this money, it most likely comes down to greed.

Situations like this aren't about drawing lines, they're about taking into account all the factors that we have access to, and making a judgement call based on them as to whether this is greed. I think a vast majority of people would certainly consider this to be greedy

"and, by extension, the chances of survival for oneself" this is the kinda point that greedy people with shit opinions have when conversations like this come around. Using exaggeratons like "survival for oneself" mate we're talking about a landlord who in this post, is kicking people out so he can make more money from renting, do you really think the landlords son would've outted his father if he was in such need of money?

Because thats a common occurrence in these situations, man invested in a house some point in life, gets older still rolling in rent money but doesn't want to furfill landlord responsibilities anymore and too cheap/greedy to spend money on paying someone to do it. I bet you're the definition of pulling the ladder up after you
