No outrage here. I'm using the word enjoy in an economic sense, as in possessing something and getting some benefit out of it. The concept is called "imputed rent" if you'd like to look it up.
Thanks, and though only a handful of margins actually enjoy the concept in an economic sense, I'm personally aware of the term and its tax implications (as an actual landlord myself). For those that aren't, however and would like to avoid condescension, I'll save you a click.
If you would like to avoid condescension, maybe don't be condescending yourself.
Sorry, friend. I find your suggestion implausible. Your post, while perhaps well-meaning in its origin, begins with unnecessary exaggeration and belies an emotional if not outright personal source for the opinion behind it. Your condescension is baked right in.
I don't know how you arrive at that conclusion, but okay buddy whatever.
Eh. You might've come off as educated-yet-a-little-overzealous at first, but now you're clearly just a whiner with an Econ 101 textbook on loan and a his rusty lunchbox to rattle at the sky.
Keep on truckin', kid. You'll figure it out someday.
