The rapacious usurpation of working class prosperity, promoting conditions of endless toil towards pre-forfeited gains
Rent seeking behavior by banks, investors and landlords is the fundamental engine of perpetual wealth disparity.
This is what landlords do when they reach into workers pockets instead of do work themselves. This is what bankers do when they take fees that compound the cost of consumption. This is what gig economy companies do when they extract value by circumventing labor laws and keeping the difference for themselves that should have paid operational costs, pensions, healthcare and payroll taxes.
Rent seeking is among the lowest forms of livelihood.
Stop rent seeking and create your own wealth.

It's a game! You can play with 2 or more players.This is how you play:
First, pick someone to 'seek'.You can do this by flipping a coin if you are playing with only two players. If you are playing with three or more players, everybody will have to mutually decide who will seek,or you can draw straws. Next, the person who is the 'seeker' has to find a corner, cover his eyes, and face the wall and start counting (I recommend counting to 30,but you can also count to 45 or 100 if you want). While the 'seeker' is busy counting, the 'hider(s)' will hide. When the 'seeker' is finished counting, he will commence 'seeking' for the 'hiders'. The winner is the person who is found last in a hide-and-seek game of three or more, and the winner of a two-person game would naturally be the 'hider', no matter what, as he wins basically by default.
Oh, man! You've GOTTA play
hide-and-seek!It's really cool!
