This Is Why You Can’t Afford a House — The Truth About Inflation, AI, and Why Everything Feels Unfair | Daniel Priestley PT 2

In this installment, Daniel and Tom push deeper into the roots of economic anxiety, the morality of money printing, the logic (and danger) of debt, and why the “Monopoly game” always ends in revolution, collapse, or war. They ask what it will really take to avoid history’s bloodiest outcomes — and whether the solutions are personal, systemic, or already out of reach.
