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.

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
