I mean, the system is broken, something needs to change, fuck capitalism and all that. But the original stats say “renters or homeowners”. It’s not just the renters getting fucked by the system, despite Dick Wolff’s interpretation. Also, at no point does the data say half of the respondents. I’m thinking a lot the people who fall into any of these categories fall into the others as well.
