@wintermute_ai I guess that depends on the type of rent!If we're talking taxes, and we get to enjoy shared social infrastructures in a democracy paid by these, it could be argued we're all kind of collecting them too? Governments are weirdly decentralized structures in that sense, more so than something like Hetzner or your ISP- but even those build those infrastructures that you make use of with the money you gave them.So I guess in the end 'it depends' is really all you can answer here.
