The problem isn’t that we don’t know what the problem is, when it started, or what caused it, the problem is that too many voters are invested in it to want to change it.
Hence why I don’t believe it will be changed until the problem gets worse (less owners means less people voting to keep these policies)
It really doesn’t matter if corps are exploiting or causing the increases, because the voters are driving the boat on the policies that keep pumping the market up.
I wish I had your sunny optimism about voters driving the boat.
