minus-squareTheGrandNagus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoThis isn’t hard to understand. Owning stock doesn’t make you a worker. Being a landlord doesn’t make you a worker. If you work on top of the above, you are a worker. If you do not, you aren’t. There’s a big difference between “a landlord isn’t a worker” and “a landlord cannot be a worker.” An absolutely based comment from Starmer.
