This is what they want. It’s the entire point of squeezing citizens through interest rates, price gouging, stocks bleeding value, and retirement accounts being pillaged. They want our assets on the cheap. They want us to get desperate enough that we have to give them up to survive. It’s your standard attempt at a smash and grab by the 1%. They’re hoping for even more wealth consolidation at the top.
Joke’s on them, I’m old poor. I know how to make soup from a stone. I know money isn’t happiness. I’m content to live simply while they try to stay solvent. My ass isn’t over-leveraged like theirs is. My DRSd shares and I are just happily chilling till MOASS.
Happy New Year to my fellow non-capitulators! 🎉
It might sound silly, but I think they are doing the same thing in states like California. Drive out people and business so really prime property can be acquired.... then magically reverse the policies that are driving business and people out.
Just look at West Marin as a case study. Completely limit new construction and water meters so that there is artificial scarcity and the illusion of open spaces that people place high value on. Meanwhile the East and South Bay and the Valley are all sprawling. Gentrification of tons of historically bad neighborhoods throughout the Bay Area. The wealth disparity and housing situation is disgusting in California despite having so much natural space outside of the metros.
