The Effects of Major Retailers Raising Their Minimum Wages

I’m a landlord too and this sounds suspiciously like an excuse for bad behavior. You can make a big difference in peoples lives by not being a greedy a*hole. Delaying rent increases for a few years can have huge positive impacts on individual lives.

No it won’t change the system but a bad system shouldn’t be used to justify personal bad behavior.

You don’t have any information whatsoever about my personal behavior.

Even if I hypothetically did raise rent with the market, I don’t find it compelling to say doing so is “bad” behavior. This is what a market is, and prices are very important for allocating resources. “If you’re a landlord, don’t raise rent” is not a society-level solution, let’s not waste too much time on it :)
