Comment on Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’
jibbist@lemmy.world 1 month agoSounds like a moron, but fixing a toilet once doesn’t make it a job. It’s passive income like an investment

Own a house then get back to me

I own a house. I work and I hire people if I can’t fix something myself. So far I’ve only had to do that once in 4 years. Owning a house is not a job. Landlord literally has “LORD” in the name… kinda hard to defend, friend.

That’s the strangest argument I’ve heard in a while. Owning a house isn’t a job but maintaining one is. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, roofing, HVAC are all jobs and if you don’t think so you must be one of these Republicans that think a person who gets their hands dirty doesn’t deserve a living wage.

I think you just agreed with each other a little bit.

A plumber or a sparky doesn’t just maintain one house, and if they’re just doing maintenance, probably work on hundreds of houses a year. Maintaining your own house takes a fraction of the time and effort of working a housing-related trade full time.

I own a house, got a plumber for replace a cistern was like 30 mins of work, and I did that whilst working!

Your comment doesn’t make sense and is confusing. Are you AI?

Illiterate and a landlord? That does check out, you pathetic excuse for a parasitic infection somehow confused for a human.

Would an AI tell you to fuck yourself and go get a real job? Maybe it would

I paid income taxes, property taxes and since I sold the house I will soon pay capital gains taxes

So you know full well your property is an investment and as such not working taxes.
As starmer said. Not the out right lie the telegraph claims he “suggested”.
Hi exact words when asked. Not by the definition we are using. So clearly relating to the definition working taxes not people.
Stop falling for right wing media bullshit.
