I would actually line more people to be ready to go "burn things down", literally is optional, figuratively is a must.

Things that are in abundance but can be made scarce by hoarding (relatively speaking, and as a movement that you as one person can't go against so you rent your place out as others that can in fact do) annoy me. So yes, burn the system down, we can do things (net) better. And lenders in regulated markets are not even a big part of the problem (outside of general financial crisis of various reasons).

And no, absolutely this is not a system you fight as an individual not participating in it somehow. These are important, big, and complicated reforms that will get a lot of push back from lobbies, but ultimately need the support of majority.

And also 'can't afford to sell' imho shouldn't be a thing in equal society, it's such a reduction on movement and options for a lot of people that don't get advantages as others do for no particular reason in their power.

About the French Duke (lul), but for real - a huge part of gen-z (not supported by parents or a fund) have given up on ever owning a house (much more so alpha gen I assume). And that is a huge mental fatigue owners don't have or easily forget if they had it.

Also, best wishes with things, lets hope it changes for the better soon (even if the 'better' isn't a better system but just better pay ... which afaik is the only real solution to getting some capital, investing, play the dirty game, get ahead of others that can't participate etc).

“I would actually like more people to be ready to go "burn things down", literally is optional, figuratively is a must.”

That’s one thing we agree on for sure! The way things are trending is not sustainable and people will only put up with so much, so things will have to change at some point.

Thanks for letting me vent haha. I hope you get your own money pit and plant some nice trees in the yard someday.

Haha, literally plant seeds or like just feed seeds to chickens or something is the luxury dream of mine, increasingly so.

Quite a lot of trends in a lot of aspects affecting life quality (human & nature) are horrifying. And to think we are way past the point of French revolution in wealth inequality, and Russian as well. 8h shifts 5 days a week, commute, lack of options, financial obligations and necessary costs, etc really keep people down & from protesting. I like that unions are striking, things must change somehow.
