Monopoly is a terrible game. I don't know why anyone enjoys playing it. It's the miserable march of late stage capitalism.

And if you cannot afford to pay the rent, you go Directly To Jail, Do Not Pass Go, Do NOT Collect $200 If you've ever played Monopoly, then you will recall how at a certain point in the game it is actually cheaper to remain in jail...where you are not charged a rent. Until forced to leave.

I like dropping questions to the kids when we play. Like, “why does one person get to own the infrastructure like rails, water, and electricity that everyone needs? Wouldn’t it be better if we all owned it together?”.
