The traditional economy is attempting to get us all to become forever renters, leaving ownership to the centralized few.
Was just thinking about something similar, about how much of finance is just rent-seeking. Whether in Hollywood like with Marvel or PE firms buying up hospitals and single family homes. Don't seeing it being sustainable a few more generations down.
It is all rent seeking and the worst of it, is where it is supporting what is known to harm us. If the highest ROI was on what made us better, the world would be a better place.
