Just gotta say, about this Guardian article about people in California living out of their cars, that I was doing this back in 1993 before it was cool. And I'm sure this trend (like most things Californian) will soon be spreading across the country, what with rents rapidly spiraling upwards and all. Did you know real estate is a good investment? You, the person with the money, put a down payment on a house, and then you charge other people to live there. You have these people--people who make less money than you--pay more in rent than you pay for your mortgage, and then you just get to sit back and earn "passive income." It's amazing! It's way more reliable than the stock market! Because while markets can fluctuate, and are subject to unpredictable volatility, people are always going to need a place to live!
It's not so much that humanity is living through the end of capitalism. It's that capitalism is living through the end of humanity.
