This little propaganda piece from Business Insider really shows how the rich think.

The following is just an opinion:

In this recent Business Insider article, millennial real estate agent David Ravitz presented his case against long-term homeownership. It's crucial, though, to critically examine the underlying messages and implications of this piece. In what may seem like an innocuous lifestyle feature on the surface, Business Insider has, perhaps unwittingly, amplified the voice of the wealthy, casting a shadow over the economic realities faced by the average American.

Ravitz’s story is not your usual rags-to-riches tale. The Boca Raton-based agent is advocating for a model where one simply purchases a $960,000 home, renovates it for an additional $500,000, and then flips it on the market for an exorbitant profit. Although it may seem like a savvy investment strategy, it's not one that an average American can afford to take up. It is an insight into the mindset of a certain privileged class and how it perceives the path to wealth.

By giving this narrative a platform, Business Insider seems to be operating less as a news outlet and more as a propaganda mouthpiece for the well-off. It is a reflection of the widening income gap, a glaring issue that many in positions of power and influence continue to overlook. It also hints at a disturbing trend of media outlets perpetuating the narratives of the rich and powerful while underrepresenting the struggles of those in less privileged circumstances.

In a climate where the fight for economic equity, equality, and justice is more urgent than ever, this article seems tone-deaf. Instead of providing a balanced view of the housing market or economic realities, it presents a skewed picture where success is just a few home renovations away. However, the reality for many Americans is a struggle to keep a roof over their heads, let alone purchase a near-million-dollar property.

The key takeaway here is that articles such as this one do more than just highlight a unique approach to wealth accumulation. They showcase the thinking of a class of people who view financial success as a game in which the ability to participate is inherently unequal. For those of us seeking to challenge this status quo, understanding this mindset is crucial. It's a clear illustration of the political and economic opponent we face in our quest for a more equitable and just society.

The portrayal of this exclusive path to wealth accumulation as the 'new American dream' is a stark reminder that the struggle for fairness and equality is not just about economics, but also about controlling the narrative. It's important that media outlets remember their responsibility to represent all demographics and not just those who can afford $960,000 starter homes.

As an aside the kitchen seems a testament to the color white.. Ah yes, the color white, the epitome of purity, innocence, and everything good in the world, right? So naturally, nothing quite says "I've reached peak good taste and cleanliness" like transforming your average, everyday kitchen into a blinding winter wonderland of the brightest, most painfully white marble you've ever laid eyes on. Because who doesn't want to slice tomatoes on a countertop that looks like it was chiseled from a polar bear's dreams? That sparkling surface, when hit by the gentlest ray of sunlight, won't just light up the room - it'll practically send SOS signals to space. Oh, the glory of dining in a place that's so sterile, it makes you question whether it's a kitchen or an operating room. Nothing quite like the veins of that frozen-marble look to remind you of a tranquil river... or was it the varicose veins on the legs of the Statue of David? But, hey, that’s art and purity for you. Truly, a testament to the eternal human quest for cleanliness, brightness, and subtly blinding your guests with your immaculate taste.
