Foreign people also don’t constantly whine about the cost of housing, because if an area is expensive, they’ll double, triple or even quadruple families in one house.
you also gotta realize part of the reason forgeiners don't whine aka fight for justice and freedom, is the same reason americans don't do it: propaganda.

you cant deny it doesn't exist even if u don't think it applies to expectation management

Chomsky Quotes‏ @quotes_chomsky 13h13 hours ago




(One method of thought control) is by creating the illusion there's a debate going on, but making sure that debate stays within very narrow margins. Namely, you have to make sure both sides...accept certain assumptions - and those assumptions turn out to be the propaganda system.

What really is sick is taking my money to give it to someone else.
Agreed.

Please allow me to perfectly explain why socialism doesn't work:

There does NOT exist a fixed/static lump sum of wealth in the world that merely awaits distribution. Wealth can be created or destroyed (according to how efficiently human beings cooperate to produce wealth).

If the "pie" is unfairly looted by socialists and dispensed to their supporters (who did not create the pie), then guess what? It's a party (initially) until the pie runs out and nobody bakes a new pie.

Conversely, if the incentive to bake more pie is maintained through capitalism, then the pie can actually grow, which inevitably benefits poor people (for various reasons).

In other words, expanding the pie means one person getting rich does NOT mean someone else has to get poor.


Understand now, liberals? No, of course you don't!

employees often have no incentive to work harder. for example me and a coworker at the docks were doing donuts and he kicked a rock in the windshield. its not my car, im paid by the hour, and im unionized, so I don't care.

the pie has expanded with increased productivity but wages have fallen since 1973. rich got richer

I like how you referenced cooperation via wealth creation. capitalism is full of conflict. the ups agreement is an example.

capitalism has Ponzi schemes as well and bail outs in reality. capitalism treats the environment like a pie which it pollutes until it cant anymore

Good point. However, some interesting evidence how socialism works in high trust, mutual respect, homogenous societies. Not saying it's an ideal system. Many people point to the Scandanavian models. Most notably Norway & Denmark. (Daycare is free). Believe it or not Libya had it running on all cylinders.

so there you go. and your right. im not familiar with the rents, i mean its real bad where i live, but i do know north america has a massive housing bubble going on. thats one explanation for why young adults arent moving out of their parents place. another is student debt. another is a weak economy.

Not familiar with rents
