> I find it hard to believe that a multi-trillion dollar industry is a grift

Have you ever seen a real estate agent?

Yeah I have and they provided guidance and knowledge surrounding financing, bidding, regulations, etc that I did not have.

Can we build a society without the need for real estate agents? Perhaps. Would that society be better? Probably. But saying they are simply a grift is obviously untrue

Okay Homeopathy is a better example -it’s great businesses
