It's almost like capitalism is an inherently broken system that feeds off the greed of the powerful few and the desparation of the many.
My obsessiveness is slightly triggered that they don’t stay in order through all three rows.
I would add one row at the very top:
Advertisement & Consumerism
Chasing a lifestyle that is unaffordable and unsustainable because that's what the boomers got to experience (at our expense & the planet) is what gets everyone deep in debt.
I'm talking about frivolous and expensive experiences, buying houses that are far bigger than our needs, buying cars and technology you don't actually need as a treat to yourself, buying your children's love with cheap crappy toys and gadgets that break quickly and become garbage, purchasing fast fashion made with slave labor, etc.
They’re just complaining because they’re ignorant of the macroeconomic indicators that show 3.7% GDP growth.
They're also the rebel army that builds guillotines. Kind of like there's a fine line between a solid rocket and a bomb.
Make no mistake, the game the ruling class has always played has been: "how do I abuse these people just enough to keep them desperate, without overstepping and leaving them with no choice but to rebel?" Lately, the children, and grandchildren of the ogliarchs who knew how to play this game have been taking over as their predecessors age out, and, in their hubris, have been over reaching in acts of entitlement. They, like many of us, have failed to recognize the game for what it is and it is already causing the deaths of many people. At this rate, it will spark visible war. Luigi was one man, and there have been many more like him brewing since.
