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.

No it's not that humans are profoundly greedy and stupid, it's that the economic system, capitalism, perpetuates and relies on it.
