      It’s basic math. The tenant gives money to the landlord who gets the privilege of investing it. It’s one among the many one way cash flow systems of capitalism that cause this graph.

          Ya serious? Like I don’t wanna just start throwing insults, but AI?!? Because it’s stupid??? Regardless of if what I wrote is complete brain rot or not, you linking it to AI because of it, is just completely baseless.

          Just dude, read a book or watch the news from the last 20 years. Every year there are more millionaires while the wealth of the middle and lower class are either not changing or even god forbid decreasing. If you want something more sophisticated read a critique. It’s just not a system that can sustain it self indefinitely.

          Here is a good starter for you: https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674430006

          And because I know there’s no way in hell you’re buying a book based on an internet strangers opinion you suspect of being an AI. Here’s a pay wall free link too. http://digamo.free.fr/piketty14.pdf

      So you’re old and ignorant of Adam Smith and Marx.

        I’m old enough to know how life works. I’m sure Smith and Marx will come in handy when your toilet clogs. Call a plumber LOL!

          You don’t know how life or capitalism works if you’re never bothered reading the two seminal works on it.
