I'm trying to buy a home currently. It's increasingly becoming unlikely millennials will be able to be home owners on a grand scale any time soon. Buying a house is just one of the symptoms of the larger problem. There are a lot more issues but the cracks of the almighty dollar are having a real impact on the average person in this country, not sure how you can deny that if you look around.

That's what happens when you prioritize investments and moving money over wages and workers. Investments constantly reach all time highs and whole swaths of people can't afford to even buy a home.

No, actually. The sharp increase in prices, not only in homes but honestly all across the board has to do with the COVID response. Some of us warned that shutting down the economy could lead to some very bad economic effects. You can't simply create value out of thin air by printing and the government giving out free checks. Then you combine that with the supply chain issues also caused by shutdowns and this is what you get. Wages are rising but wages have a huge impact on costs so those are rising by just as much, if not more.

It's like, here's 2k in stimulus... then a year later you see home prices up by 25%, food prices up by 25%, gasoline prices up by like 30%... Fuck your 2k, your shit actions are costing me tens of thousands...

Except the drastic increase in home prices and inability of the middle class to afford the american dream was already happening for decades prior to Covid

Yeah, the housing market has been on fire for several years now. This was not a COVID response.

Translation "America should rule the world."
Nah

Even if we do suffer from sanctions with higher oil, gas and food prices, the public at large would still support them according to opinion polls. There is a price for freedom that we'll have to pay if we want to deprive the Russian state of money to fund the war

"Freedom"... Right
