Well said. I want to add that owning a house and having a stake in the system naturally turns people towards conservatism. People want to conserve and preserve what they have. When I owned a house and had money I became a Reagan Republican. I lost it all through divorce and other problems, so one day I was watching "Grapes of Wrath" and thought to myself "Why the f am I a Republican?" I became a Democrat. Republicans know this and have a remedy, which they need because millions of young people are toying with ideas like Solar Punk, Socialism, Fully Automated Luxury Communism and even (gasp!) full old school Communism. The only way Wall Street Republicans can have it all these days is to make sure elections don't count so young people no longer have a vote or say in the system. I'm a little stunned at the lengths they are willing to go and be so brazen about it. They want to create a two tiered apartheid system of the haves and the have nots. They might succeed in the short term, but unless they give people a stake in the system, those millions of people will tear it down. It won't be pretty when that happens. There's a problem though. They might be able to convince people they have a stake in the system when they actually don't. You want real estate? How about this plot of "land' in the Metaverse. You want to own things? How about all these NFT's you can buy and feel proud to own.
