On the housing business, a wise young woman that I know said that one of the most horrible things about all of this was the one group, forever having it pushed on them that they should have their own home, own property, BE SOMEONE, and which was led by false hope and often by lies into situations where the people could not function. As she says, had they stayed renters, yup, it wouldn't have been theirs, but then they would not have had what were essentially always false hopes, only to be slammed into the muck, worse off, and possibly never able to recover, and losing everything, even the little they had. Relative "poverty" for sure, but most, even with the little lives, function - that is til the con man gets them. They don't deserve, didn't deserve to be raised up and then slammed just so some asshole on top could grab his/her golden parachute and laugh as they gently touch down on their five acre lawn behind the protective walls of their "compound."

In the olden days of Rome a slave was, by definition, someone who allowed themself to be made a slave by virtue of the fact they failed to defend themself.

It appears the Romans were onto something.
