40 years ago, people bought houses on three times minimum wage.
Ten years ago, my spouse just barely made enough for us to live in a house and rent out the basement.
Today, we barely have any money outside of renting a room, and we need to make twelve times minimum wage to buy a home.
It isn't spending on Netflix, coffee from Tims, or avocado toast that's making the "middle class" broke. It's fucking greedy billionaires who rig fucking capitalism.
