Find the other people who don't want to have problems and solve your problems together.

All those unfinished pyramids around Egypt from people who were robbed of their chance to make their place in history.

That's where I say you are a lemmy dancing to the music.

You are lamenting the current system. You believe there is a free housing market when there is none. You think of the current system when I argue that voting must be used to make a change.

The system is not working because the lemmies are dancing. Not believing in change is the music.

Let's call the capitalists on the yachts billionaires.

I am defending the capitalistic view that markets are key to wealth distribution. Socialists and communists agree. That's why they want to replace them.

My point is that there needs to be competition on all markets. There must be enough housing that rent becomes cheap.

For that to happen, lemmies have to vote for politicians who change zoning laws to allow cheap housing.

Instead I see lemmies having fun with revolutions, new technologies and debates about the inclusion of anarchists. Those are all beautiful dancing partners but they won't reduce rent because there won't be a revolution.

Nobody will attack the US first if the US does nothing.

Housing is a sellers market where buyers compete. There needs to be a surplus of housing so that buyers can choose. Then prices fall to construction costs plus cost of management.

It's the other way round. The fear of being left out makes the lemmies dance off a cliff.

(I know, the movie was fake.)

The capitalist sees that the lemmies keep dancing without wondering why the music is playing.

How would you manage risk?

The capitalists invest their profits in new ventures. Good capitalists choose often what is needed, bad capitalists constantly lose money and stop being capitalists.

You want to reward good decisions. So those with profitable investments should get all returns so that they can make more good investments.

So don't set a limit but tax their income proportionally.

One person has a limit to the complexity that they can control. You need the masses and a working state to control other billionaires. Only then will you be able reach new levels of complex production processes that allow to do new things.

Of course, for some it is fulfilling to just be at the top.
