[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 443244, member: 57984"] Yeah, the housing market has become rich people selling other rich people houses. Their goal of "you will own nothing, and you will be happy," where they intended to rent over-priced houses forever (with entire neighborhoods bought up across the country and kept empty) hasn't really panned out for them as they'd envisioned. So, word is that investment firms that have done this may be deciding to dump all these properties back onto the market to sell, but the asking prices for these middling properties is so inflated today that no one can still afford them. But there seems to be a weird intention on the part of the oligarchs to destroy things, not as a side effect but as a key goal. They seem to assume -- or suspect -- that the end result will benefit them is some ways. Even the A.I. tech kings seem to be wary of their own product and the dystopia it may unleash between 2027 and 2030. Yet they're enthusiastic about it too. When Peter Theil was recently asked if he had any religious beliefs, responded, without apparent irony, that he wasn't sure "but maybe Satanic." What's not to be optimistic about with that? [/QUOTE]
