Even as a leftist, this feels like a very silly take. It’s not the spot making anything, it’s like any other resource.
The blight of parking spots all over is definitely an issue, but a property “making” money doesn’t seem like a great argument. Am I being dumb on this?
To be sure it’s apples to oranges imo. But, I think, an analogy can be drawn.
Maybe a more accurate way to think about it is that the parking space is worth more to the owner of that company than I am to my current boss at 22.50 us dollars per hour.
But only because there is an actual limited and finite number of parking spots in any given area… unfortunately the less specialized a position is the greater number of people there are to take it… and with 8+ billion people on the earth odds are good you can be relatively easily replaced even at higher skill level jobs…
And FTR I am not justifying the poor wages of the working class (i.e. almost everyone who isn’t a boomer or a “rich” person)… but this comparison is a little foolish and fails at making the point the OP wanted to make… we’re stuck in Capitalism. Supply and demand. There can be no more parking spaces in certain places but we’re constantly making new people…
It showcases the difference between owners and workers.
A worker is a full person, with all of the different qualities that involves as the tweet mentions. And to earn money they have to put their body and mind to use. Using their energy and will.
An owner has to own a piece of land.. which earns them over double that of what the worker earns. And that's literally it. Society rewards the owner for this.
