    The government could kick the can down the road like thirty more years if they bought out Blackrock's real estate ventures and sold all of their properties at rock bottom prices to people who don't already own a home. Having a house cushions you from so much pain and grants access to financial instruments that can get you through a crisis, our economy basically depends on a majority of people doing it.

      yep, but they're not even interested in doing that. so total collapse of society it will be.

      If the government was willing to express power in a form like that, we wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place. But here we stand, government hollowed.

        53 years ago Nixon froze wages and prices with an executive order, and now something like that is unimaginable and there's no state capacity left. life comes at you fast
