I'm literally right now looking at job prospects way out in the boonies in random states because the only "reasonably" priced houses are 2526251847352 miles from civilization and even then some of these I've seen are absolute fucking jokes: "tear down house, amazing potential! $150,000 please!" 70 miles from any job prospects... Go fuck yourself.

As for the Big Brains suggesting "just be a couple then." Some of us aren't exactly desirable and I refuse to marry someone for purely financial reasons, I want to, you know, actually love the person I marry...

Sadly, some are:

So it came as no surprise when a new study by CIA Landlord recently revealed that Tinder users who specify that they own a property in their profile receive 57% more matches than those who don’t.

you can thank State Street, Blackrock and Vanguard for buying up the American dream to rent it to you forever. Democrats are trying to limit this by stopping hedge funds from buying homes, which are for families.

When do we start to see corporate assassinations? At what point do we see people start to fight back? We are slowly slipping into full on 'subscription' based lives. They are stealing our children's future away, one home at a time. Essentially turning our economy into slavery 2.0

Because of the extreme prices and demand for homes, my apartment rent went up 24% in October. They are literally taking half my income now. Half my life belongs to this one multi-billion dollar corporation now. The other half goes to my other living expenses. I make double the average American and I am basically a slave already

It's 2030, you own nothing and you are happy
