That's great. I'm not sure that it's profound, and I'm not sure that I believe any number that comes out of China. But China does have the right idea, wealth is created by creating products and services that other people want to buy. When America was in that position, albeit largely in a different capacity as far as foreign exports, it was in a golden age, and now that its products and services are largely financial manipulation, it is not. That's the greatest challenge faced by the American economy, not property speculation, consolidation of wealth in a post-industrial, post-productive society. Unfortunately for China, the idea that it had, or rather that was thrust onto it by post-productive American business, was to make a whole lot of junk and mostly for Americans, who increasingly have less money to spend on said junk, and who are keen on on-shoring production of what critical industry non-junk China is involved in manufacturing.

You will cry, call names, cope and seethe. That's what you're doing. Murder is by definition illegal, it can't be legal, otherwise it wouldn't be murder. It is however defacto decriminalized in a number of places, if you're of a certain racial background, anyway, and I absolutely do blame the people who enable that, but I digress. You're comparing apples to oranges here, it's a non-sequitor; owning rental properties isn't a crime. You can criticize anyone you want all you want, but you can't not be a hypocrite or frankly an idiot while you do the very same thing you're criticizing them for. But again, you're not really criticizing any one or any thing so much as you're just seething and from a place of envy. You would almost certainly be doing the same thing if they owned successful businesses instead of rental properties. You can virtue signal about hating money all you want too, and you can pretend that you hate money, but you don't really hate it as much as you claim to, because you're crying on the internet about other people acquiring and having it. Don't pretend like you're on here crying about it in service of the public interest, that's total nonsense, because if you cared about the public interest, your concern would, again, be with parties creating the problem.
