    • well there isnt really any one all answer but gov financial engineering. take edu as example. before gov got involved higher edu cost wasn't so high
      ********
    • but when gov backs student loans, and funds colleges a system of waste is created. there is incentive for banks to loan and push a narrative college is a must

    • and lobbying for fed funds and spending and expanding with so much waste and rolling costs all onto tuition prices no one cares about since banks created cultur
      ********
    • not to think about it. medical care increased because again not free markets. its absolutely fucked in culture thinking people need insurance and using equival

    • housing prices increase directly related to markets and interest rates. failed states like CA pushing people out with high higher values to buy in cheaper mark
      ********
    • ets. if interests rates go up asset prices will drop because borrowing costs are higher. but still need to equilibrate to exoduses in new markets.
      ********
    • 10% worker raise is not a real good measure. I don't believe 10% since 1978 just looking at minimum wage from 1978 to today. like 500% in some markets.
      ********
    • need more info on that one. but im guessing purchasing power. less money goes farther nowadays. so less increases in wages. still gets you more. Minimum wage
      ********
    • fell again not really true and need to see what metrics that is based on, because it clearly went up. Ceo pay for sure up
      ********
    • one big reason is gov subsidization and tax breaks for investment and over bought investment in corporations give them tons of capital to spread the wealth
      ********
    • for themselves. and tied to monetary policy of trying to regulate inflation to harm savers and force spread in gambling on corporations to beat inflation.
      ********
    • so not one thing on the list has anything to do with real unfetter capitalism. Its capitalism adaptations to poor gov and monetary policy
      ********
    • like feeding black widows and wondering why they increase and spread more.

    • You're, ironically, describing what he wrote. That government failed to regulate the small minority, which are now megamonopolies that they now support.monospaced
