  Not just cars. The logical endpoint of capitalism is a rent-only economy. Everything will shift in ownership to the ones with the ability to purchase above the market price. Uncercut everybody for infinite gains in the future.

    You’re right, but I just noticed something about that (I’m probably very late to the party here): so an endpoint of unregulated capitalism is that ownership is limited to a few, who almost certainly acquired ownership through some form of class exploitation and theft. Or, to oversimplify it…ownership is theft. Hmm, sounds familiar.

    One could argue that the endpoint of socialism is the abolition of individual ownership. Maybe there’s a bridge to be built there?

  Renting forever sounds like a nightmare. They already took housing from me. I don’t want to keep losing things.

    I don’t know. Personally, I see myself earning a high income and renting a home and a car to free myself from the angst that comes with ownership.

      I respect your opinion. I don’t feel the same.

  I’d rather service it myself and save my money, and own it so I know that it’s been properly cared for and not shit/cummed in by a dozen people.

    Funny, I felt the same way about my wife, but she surprised me in the end…
