We have one area of actual steady investment in our lives - our homes. And they can't handle us making a tiny bit of money

I need an ironic WWII style scaremongering propaganda poster about class war. The 1% have class awareness. Do you?

Scrath's comment made me check with Bing - i put your comment as the prompt, word by word:

Edit: a week later i was wondering how far image generators get political context right. So i tried the same prompt on civitai ( without any additional resources ). Bing did a better job with the context, at least it repeated some of the input.

Jesus Christ why doesn't he have skin? Also, at least the hand is right!

Angry zombie British soldier wants you to engage in class awar because the 1% have awawrrnesss, nice

That sounds like something one of those image AI's might be able to make for you.

This is one of the most destructive things we’ve done as a society: making our homes into investment vehicles. It is the root cause of people no longer being able to afford housing.

Homes don't generate value though. Nothing more is being created by them existing. How can it possibly be an investment generating more wealth when the underlying asset remains unchanged?

It's just a pyramid scheme to expect the same exact home to continue going up in value as an investment. The only possible result is a shortage of housing with unreasonably high prices
