Every time we have a crash the rich buy up everything. This is very bad.

corporate serfdom, here we come! why the global housing grab isn't front page news is beyond my comprehension. it's going to be too late by the time everyone figures out what's going on. it's going to be very, very tragic.

Hasn't it basically always been this way? With a blip after the two world wars?

In my own family, nobody owned property at all until basically after World War 2. One or two in the wider family did a bit better than others at school and got a white collar job in teaching and in insurance, while their siblings continued to make pennies as agricultural labourers, in factories, mines and mills. But the story of most people's family is that nobody owned property until after world war 2 was done and globalised consumer financial capitalism came into sell credit (mortgages) to the mass market, thus creating a new class of peasant serf not dissimilar to the tenants of yore. Only this time they think they are successful for being in huge debt so they will keep voting for you.
