I own private property and am not a billionaire, so not sure what you are on about with that statement. I got educated and have a decent living situation with a nice corporate remote job. I’ll have my student loan paid off around 40. These things were all easy to do. The people with issues do this to themselves. Sorry you are lazy and want to leach off my success.

It's like you're ignoring everything I say. Unless you're a landlord or the owner of some business, you probably don't own private property. If you can sit back and let other people make money for you without your input, you own private property.

Your comment reads like a copypasta. Why are you callibg me lazy? Did I say I don't want to work? Of course I want to work. You're not paying attention. There are huge barriers to people being able to succeed, and getting past thrm requires immense effort, luck or privilege. And the last one is the only guaranteed win.

I learned ro code from handmedown computers at a young age and worked my way up the corporate ladder. I own a nice big home and am a millennial. I completed a part time MBA while working and am able to take vacation every three months or so. Nothing is stopping you all from being successful, but yourselves. I agree that the system has massive flaws, but destroying capitalism isn’t the answer. The risk-reward system works.

Sounds like you don't own any private property, then.

No. I live in it, but I could because it is a free country. Unlike the “people-owned” regime that you are proposing.

You don't deserve to own land you don't use. Sorry :)

What do you mean. I live on my land. Also, if I wanted to buy other land, I can because the system works.

This reads like dialogue from a satirical sketch about an out of touch wannabe landlord
