Don't know why, but I stopped being shocked by the things I saw in that documentary a while ago.
"Super rich corporate entity buying properties in soon-to-be hotspots while avoiding taxes through complex foreign based shell structures, with the working class squeezed to death by higher rents and taxes, all while our elected officials look the other way since they've been well greased, wined and dined and their privately schooled kids are offered top positions in said corporate entities", has become such a common M.O. behind the façade of free market capitalism, that I'm not even surprised at this point.
I just wonder when we'll have the next violent revolution or civil war and radical regime change as inequality can't continue to rise like this forever and still have a stable and peaceful, functioning society.
