This fuckhead is probably only mad about it because he wants it for inheritance.

Why is an elderly man with memory loss depending on parasitism for income? He should be receiving assistance from the state, his old job, and/or children. Capitalists show this type of shit to me and smugly stand there waiting for me to admit that they are moral and upstanding people.

He should be collecting a pension from all those years working at the land factory

Just because he owns rental property now doesn’t mean it was always the case. The average American dreams of being and landlords for passive income when they become old because retirement benefits are a joke

The average American dreams of becoming the ultimate parasite throughout their entire life. Landlord is next to giving up for them.

Nah this aint the take here, yeah landlord bad but with no social safety net what can the elderly man actually do otherwise?

Execute his will’s provisions now while he’s still alive and live off the state and any remaining Social Security checks. US policy only really gives help when you’ve finally ran out of money…

What is this take? He can do the same as anyone in his position who doesn’t own an extra house does. Why should some random person be expected to support him? The tenant could do more good donating the rent money to a charitable organization helping elderly in need - but then we should ask why we’re asking that of that tenant specifically. We don’t know what the elderly man’s financial situation looks like but it’s obviously not the tenant’s responsibility to support him.
