Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. I liked it! It dumbs things down for sure and the graphics are very cartoony. The message hits spot on. I see this

It dumbs things down for sure and the graphics are very cartoony. The message hits spot on. I see this in the Bay area and in other places with well-paying jobs. The PE firms jumped to scoop up real-estate after the 2008 crisis. In the cases I saw, they upgraded 1500-2000 a month apartments to 3200-3600 a month fancy apartments (this is an example from Mountain View btw). The economist inside me says PE firms helped stabilize the economy and are bringing efficiency but the lil voice inside me says they are the scum of the earth and the reason I'll NEVER be able to afford a house and always be hand-to-mouth. As a rah-rah believer in capitalism, PE firms have changed my view and made me realize of the dangers of uncontrolled pursuit of wealth and profit.
