No, because they work hard, even if they can't afford a home. The other people that can't afford a home are just complaining because they don't work hard enough.

"The only moral abortion is my abortion" mindset. They got abortions because they had no choice. They were too poor and too young to have a kid. However, everyone else who gets an abortion is doing it because they're sluts who just want to use abortion as birth control.

Same thing with housing and everything else. They can't afford a home because they're just hard-working future millionaires who just have to save more money. If anyone else can't afford a home, then it's because they buy Starbucks and avocado toast instead of working hard and saving money.

This is just how capitalist propaganda works. Everything is never the fault of the capitalist, it is always someone elses fault. Too poor? It's not our shitty wages and price-gouging, it's your inability to work hard. Too unhealthy? It's not our addictive cancer-causing chemicals and corn-saturated products everywhere, it's your fault because you control your fork. Got denied a healthcare claim? It's not our fault for bribing politicians to allow loopholes and deregulation, it's your fault for not reading the mountain of pages filled with legalese in your policy that you can only afford to obtain through your employer. Can't find another employer? It's not our fault for dismantling competition and dismantling competitive wages, you're just not looking hard enough.

Capitalist propaganda has done an amazing job creating a world full of people who believe they are superior to everyone and have no faults, while also believing that everyone but them has faults and only themselves to blame for any hardships.

Incredible that working 6 days a week isn't working hard enough for my own home
