The only thing I disagree with in this post is using the average cost of an Ivy League education. If they're comparing averages, either use all higher education or state universities.

But screens have gotten cheaper per unit of area!
This is surely not the reason here, but at least cars have gotten a lot more complex, and the possibilities of health care have also increased a lot. So not all of this increase goes into rich people's pockets. But likely still quite some.
Cars are more complex so that they can spy on you, steal your data, and make even more money as data brokers.

It's ok if people want to criticize crypto because it's also garbage capitalism. But that's nothing compared to what the state is doing...
How would you guarantee my safety without a state? What would stop some group of people who decided to rape and pillage from doing so?
Let me save you some time :)
There are never actual well-thought-out answers, just a chain of poorly constructed what-ifs
The answers always put them in control without any guardrails and just require everyone to assume they're good-hearted people with good intentions.

Who is stopping our oligarchs and their CEO lapdogs from doing this now?
Elites in fact rape poor people's children... Healthcare CEO pillage family's bank accounts if one of them has health issues?
