All of you are missing the point. The middle class holds all the power.
It's out fault the world is the way it is. We let corporations dictate how much things should cost instead of not paying them what they want.
Cars are expensive because people go to the dealer and say "I'll take what you got for whatever you want me to pay" instead of "I'll give you 10k for that f150 take it or leave it."
Instead people are going out of there way to secure a fucking 100k Tesla with whatever funding they got.
Same with rent. We made the market like this because those snazzy new mixed use developments are so chic. Let me give my left testical to bid on one of those condos as long as I get to tell people I live at the Avalon/halcyon/bridgeford or whatever.
We need to dictate how much we're going to pay for shit not the other way around. Blaming people that take advantage of the system we allow to exist is the same as barking at the moon.
