    They always focus on real estate value. Who of that under 45 demographic lowest earners can afford anything but survival and renting? Why is there absolutely no mention of the failure of antitrust? Brand conglomerates jacking up priced for pure profit because what are people going to do, use local goods from shops that are gouged for their basic operation costs? I work at a small local place, and I’m pretty sure the owners are as tired and depressed as the staff right now. Working harder than ever, and losing more money than we make.

    All we can ethically do is shout and cry and be noticed, but the last few decades show how much that has stopped the trend.

    Something has to change or riots will be inevitable. Automation isn’t going to go backwards, and it’s absurd the working class hasn’t seen any improvement in their lives by this point.
