Yours is a wonderful comment. If a company offers a (fill in the blank)-as-a-service its stock valuation increases. Drug companies would do just about anything to create a situation where everyone on earth must take their shots at least every year for their entire lives. However, one aspect (your first example) strikes me as not quite right.
Buying house -> Renting one
Renting and landlords have been around for hundreds of years. The new model for land ownership is modelled after the Chinese system. You can have a house, but you get permission from the government to place your house on the land and cannot own the land. They have already copied this model in places like Thailand and the idea is to impose this sort of "land reform" on the rest of the world.
The Chinese system (also used in other countries) is explicit in that the homeowner does not own the land under it and is only permitted to have a house there. It is unlike systems that tax assets.
You are correct that it is old. However, when I wrote this. I was thinking of the recent news item about BlackRock buying up residential properties, increasingly driving "commoners" out of the market due to rising prices. We might be moving to much higher levels of renting than in the recent past, if there are no more affordable homes to buy.
