Poors who never owned anything and will never do cry at the world
OP
What the frick is the end goal in all of this economic turmoil?
The car market is fricked; The housing market is fricked; Food prices are insane. Our salaries haven't changed. It's demoralizing to see Redditors who have houses talk about how great it is and that the housing market is never going to come back down. I don't think the car market will ever return to normal and I wouldn't doubt the housing market is the same way. But the price of a house and the salary of the average American is a large chasm.
Even in small, LCOL areas, I've seen people talk about corporations buying houses and driving up the prices. I'm beginning to see talks of entire neighborhoods of houses that are only for rent. Not rent to own. In theory, you shouldn't buy a house that is more than 3x your annual income. So a single person making $50kish a year has to find a house for $150k but where is that happening? I live in a low income, high crime area and the house I'm in is appraised at $175k so I can't afford to purchase the house I'm in.
I spend a lot of time wondering why I'm back in school, what's the purpose when most of my working life will be spent paying bills and putting the rest into a retirement fund that I likely will never use. With my prospective and current salaries, I won't have money to vacation, get a new car, etc. What's the point of all this then?
To get back to my title, what the frick is the end goal in this economic turmoil? 75% of us being homeless and living outside while corporations hoard houses? Moving to a new country likely won't help because I see many people in various countries talk about having the same issues.
The poor will start a war with each other rather than coming together to fight the rich.
Finally someone with some sense.
You will own nothing. You will live in the pod. You will eat the bug. And you will be happy.

Turns out community and family are more important than material wealth. If only some sort of book talked about this very issue...

"Richest country" when most of its citizens will never own a home, let alone retire.

The housing prices have only become particularly bad during the last year or two.
I had a friend who works at a pizza place buy a home during covid before the interest rates went nuts.
Can we please have even a tiny semblance of object permanence instead of always projecting whatever the current situation is onto the rest of time itself.
