I’m looking, but there’s no way I’m paying those prices. I’d rather rent and have the ability to leave my job for another job when I can get more money.
Which is exactly what the investor class wants. Keep generating wealth for the landlords and no generational wealth because houses are too expensive.
Yup. Kill the rich. Cap home prices.
It would have to be a really low cap considering how low wages are now, but I'd be okay with that. I just doubt the U.S. government would allow it to happen.
Nothing is going to get better at this point. I think the rich know they can just do whatever they want, as usual. The power of the middle class is almost gone. The only solution is the mass extinction of billionaires as a message, and I doubt a single one will be removed in my lifetime.
The problem is- and I said this in another thread this morning, so apologies for people who read it there- the billionaires have nuclear war-proof bunkers they can hide in while surrounded by heavily-armed security. There's no way we'll be able to get to them. So I agree with you.
Well, they aren’t sleeping in them. They leave sometime. Let’s use all these guns we have to defend us from the rich. 🤪
The bunkers are designed for them to sleep in until the radiation dissipates at least. They probably could live in them for years.
What I mean is, they leave the house. Also, we can cut them off and I’m perfectly fine with them living in a box with no internet. Solitary confinement is as good as death.
