This is actually an older news story, and it does appear as though she recovered from this before her death.

Who the fuck cares? It indicates a massive flaw with the system. Either they can’t afford it or we aren’t doing anything to help it, or they’re just exploiting her to gain more wealth. Whatever the reason is, it isn’t a justification. It’s only an indictment of the system that allows it to happen. The fact the police are used to support the little lordling and not the poor old woman just makes it worse.
Please explain what you’d do if you were the land lord
The point is no one should be in a position to say no. I’m not saying I would do better as a landlord (I would, but that’s why I probably will never be a landlord), rather that the system is broken and no one should be, or at least not be allowed to deny this woman at minimum.
Is it so hard to imagine that there can be other incentives to work towards than profit? Profit is not a good goal for a system to prioritize. Can you agree with that? If so, can’t you imagine that a system could exist that prioritizes doing good or creating happiness or anything else?
