Ok /pol/, can someone explain to me why virtually everyone with a net worth of less than $1 million isn't focusing on the fact that real wealth for most of the population has been stagnant for decades?
Look, I honestly don't care if you're a conservative, liberal, traditionalist, anti-immigration, Christian, atheist, black, white, whatever; you can believe what you want, but nothing (and I repeat - NOTHING) will be solved so long as citizens have to work harder, for less reward, and with less financial security than ever, whilst the global elites continue to grow ever-more bloated and cynical.
This isn't some SJW feels issue. This isn't some obscure conspiracy. This is the fact of life all over the world today. We're getting poorer and poorer, yet we don't seem to think such an obvious, damaging reality is worth thinking about. Hell, I'm not even saying that businesses are bad; but there's a difference between running a successful store that services 10,000 people a week and owning a housing company that inflates the prices of homes by 35% for a million people.
it's because of urbanization
loads of people move into popular cities --> businesses move into those cities --> businesses attract more people --> more people attract more businesses, etc.
the more people live in an area, the higher the price of property, which increases the cost of living in the area
if people were smart they'd move out to more rural areas, however, the initial movers would need some investment since they'd have trouble finding work without having to travel a lot (which costs money of course)
it's a difficult problem that doesn't have a very easy solution
I agree with what you're saying but I believe that it's stagnated because of a constant push / pull.. centrist.. bipartisan approach to fucking everything. absolutely nothing gets done in this kind of political climate.. see australia, america, canada, england.. it's all the same price shit and same house price problems.
It's caused by centrist bullshit and lefties.. we would literally be better off going full left wing with them and conceding.. at least something would get done.. but fuck that, they're retarded and wrong and i hate commies.
