    not even sure the billionaires need an FDR pressure release valve in the near future

    i agree. not american but it feels this way in my country too. like since covid hit the capitalists have tightened the screws such a wild amount and a revolution isn't exactly brewing lol. i try to not be doomer and tell myself that's something that can change quickly. but in terms of continuing to raise prices, rents, etc while keeping wages flat, the capitalists have no reason to stop the current rate of that stuff, if anything they will keep accelerating.
