Next time someone trys to blame #capitalism on the cost of cars or a home now compared to in the 50's or at the the turn of the century just remind them we dont have a capitalism problem, we have a population problem. For most people in their 40's the population of the planet has virtually doubled since were kids, there isnt as much to go around as there used to be (and since the turn of the century the population has increased 5x).

@Amikke 200 years ago humans walked as they couldn't afford anything else. Only their rich could afford a horse. Farmers might have an ox, but they didn't ride in the cart, they lead the oxen.
