This is a byproduct of the debt based economy that we live in. It's based on an old English model of Feudalism.
A History of Landlords: Rent & the Feudal Origins of a Non-Working Class
"
The Historical Origins of Rent
While the warlords, aristocrats, and Church officials who made up the landholding class mostly occupied political, military, and religious roles, it was the peasants who did the work in feudal society. Unlike the nobility, few peasants had their own land and many were considered serfs (an Old French word related to servant and slave) who were legally prohibited from leaving the land they cultivated without their lord’s permission due to laws dating from the late Roman empire. In most cases, serfs were bound to work the same land as their ancestors, which meant that serfs were essentially leased along with the land by one landed lord to another. While free peasants at least could move or be married without permission slips, their circumstances were rarely better. Since most were landless, landed lords demanded rents from peasants in exchange for the right to work the soil, often paid with daily labor or with a hefty part of the peasant’s own harvest."
The coronavirus pandemic was the perfect monkey wrench to screw up a system that is designed to keep people paying bills and working for money.
There is more debt than dollars in existence.
The way the system works, we will always have two dollars in hand and three dollars in debt. And to cover, you'll need to borrow four dollars to cover the three. And on and on and on.
The FED creates money out of nothing.
The FED then sends the money to the US Treasury.
The Treasury spends their money on infrastructure, war, etc.
The contractors put their money in the bank.
The banks create money through lending and that's how we get access to money.
But we always have to pay that money back.
The bank will give the landlord money to purchase the house.
But the landlord gotta pay the mortgage.
But the tenant pays the landlord so the landlord can pay the mortgage.
If the tenant can't get the money, the system stops.
It's all screwed up.
This is ultimately just an old English model reimagined.
