I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.
Landlords. Do I think it’s terrible for some nice old person to rent their basement to students for a good price for a bit of income in retirement? No. But corporate landlords and people hoarding housing can fuck off.
Lobbyists
This needs higher up. Lobbyists are a cancer
Well, lobbyists work not only for evil corpos, but also for NGOs and movements… Lobbyism is the process to sway politics to a direction through interpersonal meetings, and is necessarily in a democracy.
However, one thing that would benefit the US is transparency around lobbyists; who they are, how they are funded, their agenda etc. The EU has a database on registered lobbyists and the transparency helps with parts of the problem.

Yall disappoint me.
Landlord isn’t an occupation, any more than ‘white collar criminal’

I’m staying in a city temporarily for about 6 months, whers would I live if I couldn’t rent?
The lack of a land lord does not mean the house disappeared off the planet.
Yes but I’m not going to buy a house for 6 months just to sell it, it’s not very feasible.
The lack of a landlord also does not prevent you from temporarily using open housing either.
Wdym?
Imagine a world where housing was given on a per-need basis. People still need to travel for work and stay for months at a time, except it’s understood that the job getting done is more important than a landlord profiting off the fact you have to travel for it.
Who maintains such supply of houses, who pays for it, who would own it, who would carry out repair works as and when they are needed.
Hotels used to be the standard temporary housing.

Guidance counselors. One of them tried to convince my parents that I was on drugs…in 4th grade. Turned out that I had an undiagnosed mental disorder.

Wall Street. Shorts, bulls, bears, options, it is all euphemisms for gambling and everyone else suffers for it.

Any sanitation worker, sewage diver, drain block remover, in most of the third-world countries.
We need city drainages to be repaired, cleaned, maintained, and managed with draconian safety, extremely well-compensated, hazardpay up the wazoo workers comp and complete-healthcare all covered for life. So many workers are just abused for the lifeline work that keep a city’s arteries from getting clogged and flowing smoothly.
I saw how Korean drain-workers do it with high-pressure water jets and incredible efficiency and knowhow talent of their vital job. I wish we didnt have the corruption that prevents this type of training, trained worker, worker pride in the essential labour that they do.
Same goes for recycling and reducing waste. We humans don’t do nearly enough and the Top-20 major corporations that cause 80% of worldwide pollutants go unchecked and unpunished.
Plenty, lobbyists, health insurance industry, and advertisers would be a few off top of my head.
Recruiters.
If you’re saying that you uniquely oppose the existence of elder care as an occupation, then that is a very strange, and frankly worrisome example. Am I misinterpreting what you meant? Also, I don’t know what to make of “unkarmic freebie.”
