If I had gobs of money to spend on a fancy house, it would be within walking distance of a pharmacy, a French restaurant, and my kids’ school. https://t.co/jpsciR22IV

So much better since the class system has ended. Why do people yearn for a time when few had any real opportunity?

A lot of the nostalgia stuff is just “I want to be rich”
Which hey, awesome! But we’re in the best era for that, you aren’t missing out on the 1800s

It’s still there.
Why don’t you move in to it?
If you’re rich you can build another perhaps.

Yep, a proper country where we stuffed 5-year old kids up chimneys and sent them to work down mines.
