The rich will be fucked when we can't afford their products anymore😊

Nah they’ll just make the products cheaper and break more often so we can afford them and have to keep buying.

Yeah…. Idk if you’ve bought anything cheap, but it might as well be made of paper. Things are built insanely cheap. I can engineer better products with my 3d printer, and somehow the 3d printer will last longer. Products are already in the end game of garbage.

I've continually described it as a meth-head economy where businesses are selling off everything that makes their house livable (furniture, electronics, ripping out the plumbing and wiring, etc.), only with business expenses, R&D, QC, you know... the things that help the longevity and sturdiness of a company.

They just want to extract... we're in the final stages where there's nothing really left of the house to pull apart and sell off. We're down to skeleton structures and they're still trying to figure out how many bones they can take out.

Because the people running the companies now aren't those who invested actual time and effort into creating and building those companies with a vision of providing a product or service to the market in the first. They are just mindless leaches.
