    You aren’t doing yourself any favors bringing home depot into this, the owners are also greedy cunts.

    There’s also a huge difference between something that protects you from the elements and renting a tool. There is no fundamental need for a tool, there is a fundamental need for shelter.

    With how invested you are on your side, I wouldn’t be surprised to see you admit that you’re a landlord.

      Home Depot is just one example. Any other example works.

      People can grow their own food but choose to use the grocery store. The grocery store charges more for the food than they pay for it, because they’re providing a service.

      Pharmacies sell medication and people buy from them. They are providing a service of having all the medication in one place.

      People trade money for goods OR services. That’s how the economy operates.
