The point is the rules where changed mid-game to protect a bunch of very well connected people that played extremely loose with the "rules" and will suffer zero consequences as a result - because my personal dollars are being used to protect them.

What does the price of a house have to do with the cash-on-hand bank accounts of the average citizen?
