They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

    Honestly, owning a house/property puts you in a better spot than a lot of people. What state are you in?

      I’m in an extremely overtaxed state in the central US. I’m currently renting from a very cool landlord for almost a decade. The owner respects the environment and is in full support of my proposed additions, I reside in an unincorporated area so there aren’t any HOAs or policing bodies to bother with.

        Ahh, owning a chicken coop suggested to me you own property. Not many landlords are going to be ok with stuff like that.
