      Many people have problems related to income inequality. We went to college, got good jobs, and we still don’t have enough money to maintain the lifestyle we were promised. We don’t live in a socialist country, we live in a capitalist country.

        What were you promised? Like, owning a home? Home ownership rates in the US have been in the 63-70% range during all of 1966-2023, almost completely stable. Local purchasing power is #5 in the world for americans. What exactly is the problem over there?

        We in Europe are having it much worse if you look at the data, especially now when Russia is being fucking Russia.

          Now do the home ownership rate in socialist countries

          (Hint, the “American dream” of owning a home is much easier under socialism)
