      the cost of living is a capitalist concept

      No, it isn’t. Lol

      There are fundamental costs to human survival and those costs must be borne out somewhere. Hunter/gatherers also had a cost of living.

        The rising disparity in wealth is a result of capitalism.

        The cost of living is so high because we’re funneling as much money as possible to as few people as possible.

        Every day it gets worse, and this is by design.

          Disparity in wealth does not impact cost of living. That’s nonsensical.

            Wow. I’m sorry you believe that.

            Either you’re trolling or woefully ignorant about the world around you. Either way, I can’t communicate with people like you.

            You need more life experience.

            Goodbye.

              There are no casual factors between wealth disparity and cost of living, and if anything an extreme enough wealth disparity lowers cost of living - serfs had a very low cost of living.

              Not sure why you felt the need to insult me, but I assure you I need no further life experience to recall historical facts

          The things people choose to believe never cease to amaze me.
