  Yep this exactly, if people chose not to rent, landlords would fail to make a profit and disappear overnight. Landlords exist because there's a market for renting, they don't unilaterally buy properties and force you to rent.
context: People give them flack for showing off their workplace, but it doesn’t mean they don’t work hard. Some of the perks like free food, are to keep you in the office, thus working longer/harder.
  There’s a software company that famously has a gorgeous campus, with slides and a treehouse and all kinds of super cool conference rooms. It looks like a blast, but it’s actually incredibly stressful and miserable from what I’ve heard. >
  
  I worked at a place like that with an open bar. Lots of type-A people and uh....I was the only one using it. >
  
  I had to check your comment history to see if you were the guy complaining about the chive's open bar earlier. >
  
  I'm the guy that HR made a rule about 2 drink maximum. >
  
  So they’re finally firing the managers and C-suites?

  Justice is alive and it's only a matter of time. >
  
  I have no idea what HR was smoking but the layoffs seem super random. Managers were blindsided, employees were blindsided, and even reasonably high performers were cut. This is almost Twitter level stupidity >
  
  Twitter is still running and I doubt you can do better >
  
  Anybody who goes out of their way to brag about how little work they're getting done is going to get cut sooner or later. And google and the other large tech companies do these cuts all the time; generally they end up hiring about the same number of new people. >
  
  If only it were the 1600s, the sacking of google might mean something different >
  
  So this is what all the information they collect about us and then turn around and sell is paying for. >
  
  everytime we porn surf, they will save that info, for later. >
  
  So that they can build and sell me a sex robot tailored to my exact preferences? Those bastards! Just to show them, I will buy that sex bot just to prove that it can't satiate my desires. >
  
  Wow. How could you be surprised that a company sacks you for doing so little. The expectations of many young people today are insane. Workless pay great jobs don't exist for the majority, yet so many expect them. 
  Go get a job doing manual work and smell the roses. >
  
  Does that mean we can get rid of landlords? >
  
  You can get rid of your landlord right now, if you choose to.
