    So they’ve spent the vast hordes of money on… what looks like a cheap, semi-decrepit bungalow in a flooded area and a relatively new car, a camper, a small boat and what looks like the kinda view you’d get on most vacations to the mediterranean so I’m gonna assume they’re on vacation? Wow they’re really living high on the hog

    Don’t get me wrong, it looks nice, but for the vibe the FBI is throwing out you’d think they were living like Epstein.

    Z-library living it up like they’re 1950s auto workers taking a week off to go fishing around Baldwin, MI.

    Edit: It reminds of the handwringing about Bernie Sanders having a vacation cabin. Having a cabin used to be extremely common in the unionized Midwest, and in the USSR having a dacha to hang out at was also very normal. It’s something a society with advanced industry can easily achieve. Capitalists are trying to erase the living memory of countless 100s of millions of people and act like having access to a cabin is an unprecedented luxury.

      My working class (white) grandparents were able to afford a cabin in the hills, and their whole family (stay at home mom and children) spent every summer there. Grandpa was afforded fridays off every week throughout the summer to drive out and enjoy each long weekend with his family.

      I dont know if everyone should have a private cabin, but the idealistic summers of yore arent accesible to any working class family anymore.

        We might not be able to have a cabin for every family, but not everyone wants one anyway. Some people might prefer a seaside vacation at their union’s resort (which is another thing the capitalists took from 100s of millions of people and now try to act like it never existed).

      Was it even a vacation home? Maybe I don’t remember right, but I thought it was just his house in Vermont or whatever. He only has two homes: one in DC because that’s where he works and one cabin in the woods for the state he represents.

        The big thing was “Bernie has 3 houses he’s a fancy millionaire” when he has just his home in Vermont, a townhouse in DC, and the “vacation house” which they either inherited from his wife’s mother or bought with the inheritance. It’s legit a very normal and mundane thing and his net worth of a couple million is honestly low for somebody who’s been in Congress for decades, he’s not Nancy Pelosi or Mitch McConnell who have closer to 100 million dollars by being corrupt goons.

          Ah okay. I knew it was something like that, but not the exact number. He probably shouldn’t have 3 homes because one of them could go to someone else, but like you said, Bernie isn’t one of those congressional ghouls who owns like 100 properties across the country while buying up stock in Wayland-Yutani-RoyCo.

          If wealth was distributed equitably, everyone should have a net worth of a couple million by the end of their working life (the requirement for being able to actually retire)
