Strange to be arguing for investing in children but against owning the roof over their heads, thus building community and stability.
I don't see why people would be interested in investing in community businesses when I can't even guarantee I can live in that community long enough to see a benefit because I'm at the whim of the land owner and might have to just move somewhere else because I can't own anything.
- carlosjobim 1y agoBuying a house to put a roof over your head is not investing. Just like buying a bottle of water to quench your thirst is not investing.
- whywhywhywhy 1y agoIf it’s not investing why is my net worth rising after buying a house. Analogy is nonsense because you can’t sell the full bottle of water to someone else after drinking it.
- carlosjobim 1y ago> If it’s not investing why is my net worth rising after buying a house. Because of inflation. Your house is not producing any goods or services, as opposed to investments into the capitalist economy or taxes to the socialist economy.
