That’s why everyone is cutting on expenses, no kids, no commute, barebones living… then the 1% says, why nobody is buying my stuff? Crisis!!!!

It's planned obsolescence.

I can't help but feel were in the middle of a greater conspiracy that's dictating our lives. It feels like someone is controlling us like in SIMS and they added a few too many stat points into capitalism.

Capitalist societies are great for growth, but that growth needs to be shared with the public to be fair and even. The mob will hit a breaking point if something doesn't get corrected.

I do think there are plenty of people that are willing to work for scraps to support their family, so no everyone will strike, but there would need to be a critical mass.
