    Do NOT be kind to your landlord.

    My landlord lost their house gambling so I offered them to rent one of my rooms at discount as a roommate.

    Now whenever my rent increases due to cost of living, I increase their rent due to cost of living.

    We are in a sick perpetual cycle and both our rents went up 5000% yesterday. We are comrades in this pain and promised to protect each other if liver selling operation goes wrong.

    It’s a hateful bond, an adversarial friendship, and a dying survival. Somebody please help!

      I think that means you raised the GDP of your block by 500x. You two make a pretty good team! You should both get some kind of medal for driving such economic growth.

      Edit: hang on a second, is your landlord Larry Ellison?

      Now that I think about it, if a circle exists somewhere where A rents to B, B rents to C, and C to A (make it as long as needed, of course), one increasing the rent leads to a perpetual rent increase until one of them collapses? Would be funny to see tbh.

        Well, imagine this, but A is also loaning the money to C to keep the circle going, and you’ve got the state of the “AI” market.

        And people are yet still convinced “it’s not a bubble”.
