    Industry professionals say unbought condos could lead to big layoffs

    Everything is unaffordable, workers are all being laid off, AI is replacing people, minimum wage isn’t enough to support a living wage…

    What’s the capitalist end-game here? A world full of poor, unemployed, desperate people likely won’t make shareholders any richer, will it?

      What’s the capitalist end-game here?

      The capitalists’ game is to pivot their wealth and influence to becoming the dictators of countries. It’s world domination.

      I’m not kidding.

        Dumbing down the population. Remove critical thinking. Reinstate the harshest of religious beliefs. Feudalism.

      Bold of you to assume any of them are looking past the next quarter or two. Long term survival is secondary to immediate profits, line must go up.
