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).

@freemo hey, it is the fault of capitalism. Wouldn't have high cost of cars and homes without cars and homes available to the public in the first place.

@Amikke You make an excellent point :)

Them: Because of capitalism cars are expensive, 200 years ago a everyone could afford a mode of transport.

Me: Well yea, but your paying extra because now it cant get diarrhea or kick you in the face.
