I'm 5 years old because I think being a good person and being a landlord are mutually exclusive? What's your reasoning?
Not that guy but: your reasoning in terms of economics shows the nuance and depth of a toddler, therefore you're either 5 years old or a commie.
Answering their question clears up which one it is.
Plenty of capitalists believe that people like rentiers, i.e. landlords, are an abomination to an economy. You don't know much about economics, do you?
I know no fucking capitalist would bring "being a good person" into a conversation about economics, which you clearly don't, so...
Then you don't know a lot of people nor know much about economics. Economics isn't separated from the rest of society, it exists within society. The world is full of capitalists who also have opinions on what is and isn't good and moral and know that people spending that money attributes to goodness and badness. For example, this is how taxes are often used, to incentivize good behavior and penalize bad behavior.
I think you need to spend sometime away from the internet and start talking to actual human beings around you, as you seem to be stuck in some weird anarcho-capitalist online bubble.
