They either know better and are only pretending because they need the drama or they're incapable of understanding and in that case there's no point trying to help.

I hate this phrase but sometimes the stoopid thing just fits:

It is what it is.

One of the things i agree with the left on too.

I find bands like Aerosmith a bit sad.
. Like why at 70 something are they still trying to appeal to the same teen audience? Actual present day teens.
Were they that afraid to grow up?
Why no evolution and you know, moving on a bit?

Still singing about school gym lockers and feets flyin up in the air. So sad.

They don't know better. They are idiots.

In any case, I actually have a bit of sympathy for @LotusBud 's OP position. The cost of Real Estate/Housing is off the fucking hook and ridiculously inflated. Miss Lotus's position is that the State should impose things upon Free People to rectify the situation (which I agree is currently out-of-hand).

BUT - the Free Market decides, otherwise it isn't really free is it?

You'd be just fine with the "free market" putting an end to human life on Earth, because, "Don't fuck with the billionaires' rights!"

But it isn't a free market. There are all sorts of subsidies, and tax breaks for the wealthy.

Their donor dollars make it happen.

I find that "free market" stooges don't understand how the economy works, at all. I mean, we all know what an economics genius @Reggie_Essent is.
Exactly. They support Trump's tariffs...how is that free market economics?

I don't support the Univ of Chivago free market economics school of thought, but these people don't know wtf they're talking about.

Typical.
They wait until Blackrock, Vanguard, and other vulture capitalists have already gobbled up a certain amount of the market *then* say it's a problem and pretend to support a "solution" that at best only prevents it from getting any worse (as if it needs to).

Gosh, it's almost as if they're all in on The Plan and merely acting out their assigned roles.

This sort of thing has happened in Canada due in no small part to offshore Chinese Investors.

But now as that investor source has dried up the Canadian real estate market, especially condos, is beginning to crash in places like Toronto and now Vancouver
