Good news, you can buy a house for a million dollars most places in the US, and basically anywhere in the US if you are a millionaire and employed.

- wiseowise 7mo agoSo fuck whoever can’t buy them, right?
- bpt3 7mo agoNope, they can just buy one of the millions of less expensive homes that are available.
- dudefeliciano 7mo agoyes and the trillionaire class is just getting established, let's think about the future just a tiny little bit?
- bpt3 7mo agoThink what about it? Is Bezos taking money out of my pocket or preventing me from buying food, shelter, healthcare, or other services I need or want?
- TFYS 7mo agoYes. The bigger the gap becomes, the more the economy will be geared towards serving the needs of the wealthy instead of regular people. If a trillionaire wants a mansion on Pluto or an AI to serve him, a large workforce and a lot of resources will be put towards that goal, making those resources and work more expensive to use for other goals. Your healthcare and shelter has to compete for resources and their prices will rise as the demand for overlapping resources goes up due to the huge purchasing power of the wealthy. What we produce in this economic system is decided by money. If 90% of all money is in the hands of the wealthy, then 90% of all we make with out limited workforce and resources will be decided by them.
