When individuals perform tasks that money typically does, they become enslaved to money. Even when these means come to an end, they remain bound to money. Therefore, it is not the abundance or lack of money that enslaves humans, but rather ignorance and greed—qualities that fail to recognize the purpose and utility of money—that lead to this enslavement. Ultimately, it is a philosophical issue. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Rather than building more houses to catch skyrocketing real estate prices, investing in transportation infrastructure is more effective. An office worker unable to afford London’s murderous rent moved to Barcelona, Spain, to live in a three-room house. He commuted to low-cost airline Ryanair for about £ 300 less than commuting from London (as of 2017: £ 580 house rent + £ 778 transportation fee = £ 1,358). The transportation environment changes our lives. Thoughts can’t keep up with the change. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
