Also not one to nod along with Tucker Carlson but he hit a really prescient note in that speech ~,”how can we expect young people to be invested in the country if they have no stake in it?”

Which just totally strikes a chord with me as someone from the post 1995 cohort, we are super jaded, nihilistic, and ruthlessly “unpatriotic”.

Honestly this is one of the points I make regarding community. Why should I invest in my local community, gardening/etc. when my landlord is the one who benefits from my labor and monetary investment into said community... Which they could negate at their whim - stripping me of said community forcing me to start all over.

Its not only housing . All societal value generators can be stripmined, harvested, carved up and sold off to finance some pension funds financial holes. There are no longterm goals, companies, no futures worth investing yourself in.
