Consider that you may be far too trusting if you’re not considering conspiracy as a possibility at this point…

A conspiracy means that the truth about something is different from what we currently know. JFK, moon landing, flat Earth.

Where is the conspiracy with banks buying houses en masse? They intend to turn every middle class family into a permanent renter and take any profit of the housing market for themselves. This is exactly what’s happening.

We can simply say that this problem is more important than people believe, or that the media does not talk about it enough because it’s difficult to write about. But there’s no conspiracy here.

con•spir•a•cy kən-spîr′ə-sē► n.

An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.

Like, maybe the Fed is conspiring with the gov. and big banks to fleece the American people of their real estate assets…? Have you no ability to question things?

I would argue exactly the opposite.
