RE: All LEO Holders Must Read This

In economics, "rent" isn't a usage fee like paying someone for temporary access to shelter, a car, or the like. It revers to seeking profits by imposing burdens instead of providing benefits, especially through some investment of resources. For example, think of a city changing the speed limit on a road and dedicating a cop to fining speeders. There is no real crime being prevented, but the city has expended resources in changing signs and paying for a patrol to generate revenue from unwilling people.
