I don't see how a capitalist system built of programming people to believe they need things they don't really need can survive in a society of people who have actually been made aware of how to prevent their own brainwashing. What kind of society would it be if things were built sustainably, artistically, environmentally, pleasing to the ape that lives within us? All people who have real choice would want is to live in a tree house on the savanna in a wild animal park.
So lets pave paradise and put up a parking lot. You don't know what you had until it is gone unless you never had anything to begin with.
The relationship of this topic to beef is that people fear that liberals want to take their beef, their culture, and their dreams of home ownership they have already achieved to build a society of grubs rubbing happily against each other by the millions in tiny boxes where they can happily eat their corn meal. Instead of the issue being the structure of society that creates millions in poverty who can't afford to live in desirable places, his plan is to make everything cheap by turning every desirable place to live into a shit hole. They anybody will be able to afford it. It's cheap to live in a favela.
What are the options in a market economy to lower prices on desirable foods. You can limit the number of mouths that are eating. You can produce more of whatever it is people want to eat. Or you can create different better foods at a lower price.
You can decrease or increase demand and thereby supply by increasing or lowering the capacity to buy.
@fskimospy wants to build more cheaper housing where demand is high. I want to increase income so desirable housing can be built without massive crowding by creating new housing that is psychologically conducive of mental health. Rats, I know, act like rats with crowding. I think people are the same. Fskimo wants change but change for the worst. I want change too but for what I think of as better. That does not include forcing old people to pay taxes they can't afford, people who have traded the wealth in their homes for the opportunity to give them to their kids. The big problem with people who are rational is that they can also be cold. Too many camel bones and one forgets what a real camel looks like. They have living beauty. Without close connection with nature frequently a part of the soul dies in my opinion.
