        Any work is exploitation really. Nobody wants to work just because they like working. We all do it for money, and we wouldn’t do it if we didn’t get paid. Even shops buy stuff cheaper and sell at a higher price. We all live off each other

                That’s fair, but I don’t see the difference between you comparing landlords to pimps, and me comparing pimps to any kind of work. We are the same! Just from opposite sides

                    What is regular work? Who decides? I’d expect some store managers may treat employees worse that some pimps treat the girls who work for them.

                    Im not arguing for or against prostitution but you seem to be drawing an ethical line based on your own idea of what is right or wrong

      But it’s work that only exists because the landlord decided to extort money from their tenants. No one said the life of a parasite is always easy.
