Inflation has been climbing since the real estate boom, when houses more than doubled.

How come this wasn't a big deal when it was happening?

Instead people bitch about gas and food, but housing takes more than half our budgets!

A good example, my father bought a multi family house in the 80s for 80k while he made 8 an hour.

Today the same job pays 25 per hour but the house is 900k

Wages went up 3x, housing went up more than 10x

Here's another very bleak article on UBI and Central Bank Digital Currency. The author basically concludes that only god can save us now. If you have a choice between compliance/eating and resisitance/starving to death, then 99.999% of us will give in:
