    Woah, it’s almost like magnitude matters and the amount of people doing something is important.

    More people are renting than owning.

        Yeah, there are two generations.

        The rome generation and this one.

        Nothing in between, and certainly not a generation that valued ownership more than the current one.

          No, there are also the many generations in between where the wealthy minority owned almost all of the land and charged for the “privilege” of living there.

          Seriously, I have no idea why you think it’s the norm in history for most people to own their own property.

            Because you have a bad habit of making up stances for other people.

            I never said, nor implied, it was the ‘norm in history.’

            My exact words were: “Renting is the biggest scam this generation has convinced itself to fall for” which is true.

              I was going to respond to the rest of what you said, but first you made this claim. I’m sure you can provide evidence for this. Unless it was a lie, of course. Was it a lie?
