Market forces

Still image. Two panels. First panel Your Landlord: "It's not me who's choosing to increase your rent. It's the market." [picture of an older person with white hair, thin blue tie, white buttondown, stripe patterned blazer] Second panel The "market": [same image, duplicated and tessellated to fill the frame with fourteen of them]

On May 22, 2024, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted an unannounced raid on Cortland Management’s headquarters in Atlanta. This action was part of a criminal antitrust investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) into allegations that Cortland has been involved in a conspiracy to artificially inflate apartment rents.[

In a just world all the rentals that used this service should be given to the tenants living in them.

you inadvertently put a human in the meme instead of a leech.

edit: i apologize for calling this cunt a human, i didn't know who it was

Arkaelus ,

It's been discovered recently that leeches can jump, so it's not as inaccurate now.

That's Fergus Wilson - frankly, I'd prefer the leech.
