Who tells themself, "I want to be a landlord. It sounds interesting, and I believe I have the knack for it."

Assholes. Assholes who struggle with fulfillment, sense of purpose, and general goodwill. Assholes who fail to stir up a sufficient amount of drama on their own, and thus turn to others to satisfy their needs. Select landlords could appropriately be compared with leeches.

Let's collect leeches and assign them landlord duties across the nation. Think much would change? We could even throw the landlords into the swamps.
