Same boat buddy. Same boat.

Let's some to simplify every person gets to buy only one home and this is only for them and their families to enjoy.

Now they still have more money than you. They just won't invest in a house but somewhere else instead. Now nobody can rent, great all the banks now get a ton of revenue for all that money they lend out because everybody needs to buy. (Making them insanely rich)...

Inequality is the problem, just peddling a simple solution like getting rid of one symptom is not gonna fix this. Also changing the system has historically done nothing in that way either.

Taxing the rich would. ;)

Landlords are easy to hate, but they are necessary. Having them paying high taxes and having strong protections for renters will keep them honest and contributing and the market balanced.

Let's start with some constructive work instead of hate flaming memes.

An interesting addendum to your question: this is not a exclusively US based phenomenon. In Germany there are the Reichsbürgers they have similar ideas.

They think legally the state has no claim to rule and most people just don't know they still live in the German Reich still.

So they have their own king selling them passports and they have pretty aggressive group think to try and enforce their claims.

My wife's dad is one of them. The main thing I recognize comes from a pathological need to know better than everybody else. It's very tightly coupled to their sense of worth and identity. They are better than everybody else because they have seen the light.

Pretty culty behavior and just enough pseudo truth to keep simple minds saying "yeah there might be something there". Like "vaccination causes autism, they just don't want you to know".

Makes a loser in societies eyes, but a superhuman in their eyes. And yes, they still run into a wall and just keep trying to adjust their angle to hit that sacred sweet spot. Because now they need to prove how they are better and as they already have sacrificed so much they can't be wrong to continue. (Just like a gambler who already lost a lot.)

So it's a few psychological dynamics that grip into each other like gears and that ratchet them ever so tightly to their belief until there is no turning back.

Write them a letter, make sure they get it. Tell them you wait until they are ready and old enough to meet you without their mother's approval. Also talk to the mom, offer to watch the kids sometimes, in my experience moms love "time off".

I have that exact scenario looming over me at the moment. I'm very scared of losing my bio children (3) over my mentally unstable partner choosing the alcoholic best friend over living with me. She has already refused any touch for more than a year. the only one hugging me are the little ones and I don't know who i am without taking care of them anymore. Had a bad panic attack for the first time in my live.

I wish you all the best.

Funnily enough I have written a system to do exactly that as a bachelor's theses for IT security.

Places client certificates and a client inside the initrd and requests securely the key to unlock.

The sever waits for you to approve the request before providing the key. The key is only held in memory during boot.

I had a version that included for a hidden key provider and planned for a version that included time based auto unlocks etc.

I was planning to package that and release it as open source.

Still might do that.

Why not expand the battery leads down the wall so you don't have to climb?

Thats pretty solid, thanks :)

Already throwing him under the bus I see. That was as quickly as expected.

More durable teapots? See through thermos bottle? See through radiators? See through bathroom sink or tub?

Someone listens to Andrew Tate a little too much.

Not yet. Any specific benefits come to mind?

Each year they reduce the max payable amount in cash. They are on their way to inscribe a right to pay with card as we speak and each ATM tracks the serial number of every paper money piece it gives you. Whats delusional about that?
