You can do the same justifications for landlords that you did for tutors and doctors though.
Tutors don't want to spend money on supplies to help teach... doctors don't want to buy new equipment for the office, etc.
The fact is everyone's different. My boss is rents out a house. He split it in 3rds and charges 450 a person a month. He's a good dude.
My landlord is a dick who hasn't fixed any issues in a year.
Kind of, maybe, if a high percentage of landlords was in it to "provide housing"...which I didn't see any evidence of in my decade and a half of renting.
I'm also a bit of a weirdo too. So, I had a lot more opportunity to see any of that. I probably moved over 10 times in my ~15 years renting because I couldn't stand the yearly rent increases they were trying to force on me and was stupid/stubborn enough (and well off enough) to vote with my feet.
I imagine a large percentage of doctors work behind the scenes rather than directly help patients
I have this thought that Big Pharma isnt in it to "provide health" ha
