Homeownership, a foundation of the economic middle class, a trademark of the American Dream.
So many capitalist bootlickers, who confuse having a comma in their bank account with their class status, love to point to the stock market as a sign of how well the American economy is doing.
We humans love to feel smart and in control.
The modern American economy, this side of The Great Recession is drastically more complex and out of control of the average consumer and worker regardless of if they’re in false class solidarity with the 1%.
Record homelessness means the system is a failed, broken disgrace.
Tent cities becoming an established norm across the country means the American Dream has become a living nightmare.
But it is hard to care about others when we are so busy just trying to keep our heads above water. Trying to make enough to keep ourselves warm, fed, and dry leaves little time or energy to help those who have already fallen through the cracks.
It would just be nice if we stopped lying to ourselves about it. But that would mean a drastic, immediate change in human nature. I’m guess BlackRock will get out of the real estate business before that happens.
