Clearly you are being deliberately obtuse. It is quite hard to believe you don't understand colloquial speech as it pertains to the phrase "rent seeking". You missed, entirely, the point I made. I can't imagine this is anything but deliberate on your part.

I'd never heard the term rent-seeking until I started reading HN and learned it was a term used by economists.
