Sorry, I'm dipping out of this conversation because I don't like arguing...but this is a troll position.

Would you feel the same way if you or your SO had some awful disease, and someone was buying all the medication and selling it at a price out of your reach? 'Sorry honey, we can't afford medicine, that's the market working lol.'

And before the argument starts 'well, someone else would just make more...' that takes a lot of lead time, like houses do. And by then, aforementioned medicine buyer has made enough profit to buy even more.

I mean, it happened with TP or all things. There was enough for everyone, until people got greedy with it. Happens with gasoline yearly.

Seems people with houses don't care because it's good for them. Hell, I made a lot of money in all of this even.

Please understand I'm not arguing from a position of need. I don't need a house, and if I did, I'd just buy one.

I'm arguing for people like my brother, who worked hard their whole life and keep getting priced out by asshole investors.

In summary, I only ask you attempt to look at problems from a lens different than the one people like you and I currently look at things. It's easier when you know and love people affected, admittedly.
