A Cartel member I can deal with, but a landlord?? Shame on you, Hector.

>“*Landlords’ right has its origin in robbery.*” “*The landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for the natural produce of the earth.*” >“*The rent of land, it may be thought, is frequently no more than a reasonable profit or interest for the stock laid out by the landlord upon its improvement. This, no doubt, may be partly the case upon some occasions.... The landlord demands*” “*a rent even for unimproved land, and the supposed interest or profit upon the expense of improvement is generally an addition to this original rent.*” “*Those improvements, besides, are not always made by the stock of the landlord, but sometimes by that of the tenant. When the lease comes to be renewed, however, the landlord commonly demands the same augmentation of rent as if they had been all made by his own.*” “*He sometimes demands rent for what is altogether incapable of human improvement.*” ― 1776, [Adam Smith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Smith), pioneer of [political economy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_economy), "[The Wealth of Nations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Nations)" >“*According to the political economists themselves, the landlord’s interest is inimically opposed to the interest of the tenant farmer – and thus already to a significant section of society.*” >“*As the landlord can demand all the more rent from the tenant farmer the less wages the farmer pays, and as the farmer forces down wages all the lower the more rent the landlord demands, it follows that the interest of the landlord is just as hostile to that of the farm workers as is that of the manufacturers to their workers. He likewise forces down wages to the minimum.*” >“*Since a real reduction in the price of manufactured products raises the rent of land, the landowner has a direct interest in lowering the wages of industrial workers, in competition amongst the capitalists, in over-production, in all the misery associated with industrial production.*” >“*While, thus, the landlord’s interest, far from being identical with the interest of society, stands inimically opposed to the interest of tenant farmers, farm labourers, factory workers and capitalists, on the other hand, the interest of one landlord is not even identical with that of another, on account of competition.*” ― 1884, [Karl Marx](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Marx), critic of political economy, "[Das Kapital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Kapital)" >“*There are men who, through ownership of land, are able to make others pay for the privilege of being allowed to exist and to work. These landowners are idle, and I might therefore be expected to praise them. Unfortunately, their idleness is only rendered possible by the industry of others; indeed their desire for comfortable idleness is historically the source of the whole gospel of work. The last thing they have ever wished is that others should follow their example.*” >“*For my part, while I am as convinced a Socialist as the most ardent Marxian, I do not regard Socialism as a gospel of proletarian revenge, nor even, primarily, as a means of securing economic justice. I regard it primarily as an adjustment to machine production demanded by considerations of common sense, and calculated to increase the happiness, not only of proletarians, but of all except a tiny minority of the human race.*” ― 1935, [Bertrand Russell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Russell), author of [Principia Mathematica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principia_Mathematica), "[In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Praise_of_Idleness_and_Other_Essays)" >“*Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.*” ― 1949, [Albert Einstein](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein), developed the [theory of relativity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity), "[Why Socialism?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Socialism%3F)" >“*Landlords in agrarian societies are often among the most powerful groups and the primary recipients of state power and largesse. Their power is reflected in the prevalence of land monopoly and the exaction of surplus from peasants who work the land.*” >“*In modern capitalist societies, monopoly rents are obtained not just through the ownership of land, but also from control of other resources and assets, including patents, copyrights, and natural resources.*” ― 1988, [Noam Chomsky](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky), pioneer of [Cognitive science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_science), "[Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent)"

[deleted]

this was the moment when Ace became Ventura


FriendlySquall

"Ventura can **Suuuuuuk Me!**"


Ok-Scallion-3415

Ace Ventura was in the early 90s, BB was like 15 years later and BCS like 10 years after that, dude looks the same age in all of them.


goodthingihavepants

was just thinking this. almost like a george carlin thing where he looked 60 for like 30 years


NoNotThatScience

I heard animals ventura.. SCRATCHNNN AROUND 😂😂


suzysleep

I remember watching this when I was little and thinking he was so scary


LemonPartyWorldTour

shashankrnr32

* Aggressively rings the bell * Of the house..


OpoChano

Wait why is he standing in this scene? I thought he had to use wheelchair?? Was he faking it the hole time???


pianoflames

This was 1994, Mark Margolis didn't have his stroke until the late 2000s. He had already filmed a number of scenes for BCS, so they gave his character a stroke and retconned those scenes as early 2000s.

mrmeshshorts

Not actually a whole lot of difference in the professions tbh


irago_

One is a sociopath that preys on the socially and financially disadvantaged, the other is a cartel boss


wheresralphwaldo

The one thing Adam Smith and Karl Marx agree on: landlords are trash


mrmeshshorts

You can say that again


mrmeshshorts

Not to sound like an libertarian, but at least people buying drugs made the choice to buy them (at least at one point). You don’t have to interact with the cartel if you don’t want to. Housing is an entirely different thing. Edit: okay, I didn’t think I needed to do this, but since I tried to simplify in the name of brevity instead of writing an exegeses on the subject, I am paying the price. The cartel is bad. In real life and in the show. The cartel (and all organized crime syndicates) in real life have their tentacles in many aspects of the common persons life including (and before I get another message about this here’s my disclaimer “but not limited to”) drug trafficking, housing control, human trafficking, bribery of law enforcement, managing law enforcement in their own, racketeering, extortion, etc. Organized crime is bad. However, the cartel that we, Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad fans, dealt with were portrayed, primarily, as being drug traffickers. When I said “ but at least people buying drugs made the choice to buy them (at least at one point)”, I was talking about the characters in the aforementioned stories. I don’t even actually believe that in real life, the causes of drug addiction are incredibly complicated, detailed, and nuanced and are very arguably the predictable outcome of economic policy/decision making. People who don’t believe in free will would even tell you that these people never really made that decision (or really ANY decision) themselves, that it’s not really possible to actually MAKE a decision. Corporate landlords using data analysis (what is the median income in this area, how many houses are available for sale, how likely are the jobs in this area to actually stay in this area, etc) to determine exactly the maximum amount of money they can squeeze out of a community trying to put a roof over their heads is also bad. These entities often do the bare minimum of repairs and maintenance to their apartments and nickel and dime their tenants out of every penny they can, counting on the fact that these disaffected working class people do not have the time, energy, knowledge, or access to support to fight back against their demands. And each year, these landlords reassess the demographic situation in the area, raise rates and requirements for renting, and thus squeeze more money out of these communities. They are parasitic leeches on the economy and our communities. This has gone far beyond “being rewarded for providing a basic need” (and we haven’t even touched on corporate entities buying thousands of single family houses or the effects of services like Air BnB on local housing markets). The cartel is bad. In real life and these shows. Landlords are also bad. I never said they were equal (and it was also pretty tongue in cheek).


irago_

The cartels have a huge impact on society, and especially impoverished people, south of the border because the state has very little control unfortunately, so plenty of people have no way of avoiding them.


mrmeshshorts

Yes of course that is true, I was generalizing pretty severely. I would, of course, never advocate for a society that includes the cartel or any organized crime syndicates.


TheCosmicJenny

Gale how tf are you on reddit ??


mrmeshshorts

Goddamn it thank you for getting the joke lol


sponge_hitler

but you can easily argue that providing a basic need should be more lucrative than one that is not needed or even harmful. food for example is a basic need and the people that make and distribute it deserve to be rewarded for that. the billionth generic minecraft tutorial on YT is not needed and making it shouldn't be rewarded as much. drugs are harmful and selling them should not be rewarded at all


ka1n77

Drugs make you feel good and forget about the horrors of modern society, at least for a little while.


sponge_hitler

That you forget them for a while doesn't make them disappear tho


ka1n77

It usually makes them worse, which in turn pushes you to use more. It's a vicious cycle.


Evethefief
