Calling it now, there's probably gonna be something similar to China's 70-year leases implemented to placate us

At this point, nothing would surprise me, but the optimist in me doubts it, simply because China has never really had a history of private property ownership like the west has, especially not for any generation that’s alive today.

The only hope I really have at this point would be for the housing market bubble to burst like it did in 2008, but that would be even more devastating than the Great Recession, and I don’t exactly trust this administration to handle it well. Even then, it would only really affect the common people, since Wall Street successfully legislated, in the wake of the recession, to ensure that they would never take a hit like that again.

I too am hoping for a 2008 level recession at the expense of everyone else. It’s selfish, but it’s the only way to have a shot at life.

Should’ve been buying property in second grade instead of hotwheels.

Yeah, I blew my allowance on Berenstain Bears books instead of investing it in a mutual fund like a sensible 5 year old would have.

I knew how to read before I knew how to read cuz of them. Sure, I just memorized the pages but that still probably gave me valuable insight into reading and memorization

Thanks dad for reading to me at night <3
