This is so incredibly out of touch, which admittedly I expect from Silicon Valley folk.

I work at a FAANG making an amount of money per year that I didn't even think was attainable for "normal" people, but my parents were dirt poor and I grew up on food stamps. To just say "Oh the solution is as simple as moving into your parents investment properties!" is just a huge slap in the face.

Get a grip on reality and realize your situation is incredibly privileged and not the norm.

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

Yup; thats just my opinion.... it also happens to be factual history. Can't HN be less sterile and accept the facts of history and reality; we don't exist in a vacuum.

This is what i was going for, i should have cited my source
