The incipient âGreat Resetâ is a multi-faceted beast. We talk a lot about vaccine passports and lockdowns and the Covid-realated aspects â and we should â but thereâs more to it than that.
Remember, they want you to âown nothing and be happyâ. And right at the top of the list of things you definitely shouldnât own, is your own home.
The headlines about this have been steady for the last few years, but it has picked up pace in the wake of the âpandemicâ (as has so much else). An agenda hidden on back pages, behind by Covidâs meaningless big red numbers, but perhaps no less sinister.
You can find articles all over the net talking up renting over owning.
Last month, for example, Bloomberg ran an article headlined:
America Should Become a Nation of Rentersâ
Which praises what they call âthe liquefaction of the housing marketâ and gleefully expounds on the idea that âThe very features that made home buying an affordable and stable investment are coming to an end.â
The Atlantic published âWhy Its Better To Rent Than Ownâ in March.
Financial pages from Business Insider to Forbes to Yahoo and Bloomberg again are filled with lists titled â9 Ways Renting is Better Than Buyingâ, or similar.
Other publications go more personal with it, with anecdotal columns about ignoring financial advice and refusing to buy your home. Vox, never one to sell their agenda with any kind of subtlety, have a piece titled:
Homeownership can bring out the worst in you
Which literally argues that buying a house can make you a bad person:
Itâs the biggest thing you might ever buy. And it could be turning you into a bad person.
So what exactly is the narrative here? Whatâs the story behind the story?
The short answer is fairly simple: Itâs about greed, and itâs about control.
It almost always is, in the end.
