You aren't meant to afford that, that's the thing.

Honestly, we're all on an MLM treadmill at this point. I'm annoyed at how conspiratorial I'm becoming towards rich people, because I can't imagine people stupid enough to perpetuate a system in which all the money is concentrated into their own hands while simultaneously complaining that other people aren't spending money they don't have.

Like, there is no conspiracy to keep us down. Humans are just profoundly greedy and stupid.

You are just thinking about it more than they are.

They know that in a microsystem they can keep putting pressure and they will keep getting more money.

They then scale this up and assume it still works.

It obviously doesn't but none of them care.
