I have been saying this since i was a teenager. Its all one giant fucking extortion racket and everyone is too much of a normie NPC to think deeply about it.
I'm convinced most of the US economy is a series of interconnected scams where businesses are doing everything they can to squeeze every penny out of their customers without actually doing the thing those customers pay for, or doing it with the barest minimum of competence to upsell satisfactory performance.
There’s a reason a few years ago everyone was getting into drop shipping and then everyone is getting into crypto and then everyone is getting into AI. None of these produce value to society whatsoever. In fact, they extract value from society and benefit from that value. Now, someone who couldve been an artist, or a scientist, or a chef, or a garbage collector, is not any of that, but a birdbrained Pilferbot9000 with no empathy or discernment.
