I don't know if you're aware of this, but your statements are coming off awfully privileged. From the idea that people need to "earn" things, a strangely unique American perspective that you "earn" anything at all (completely pretending that you didn't start off ahead in a lot of ways anyway). To the idea that "its pretty simple" [sic] and that the blindingly obvious solution is to just "own the things you use" - a luxury that not many people can do.
- sintaxi 9y agoI'm sure anyone who doesn't join into the circle jerk sounds privileged to you.
- chii 9y agobut the point is that it cant be any other way. property owners aren't going to do sell or rent below market price. if you're poor, you get shoved around, which has been more or less the same since the dawn of humanity. the modern day of today doesn't mean that changes. not until there's unlimited frer resources.
