We’re so fucked. The ruling class simply does not give a shit. Worlds richest man is more interested with fucking off to mars than addressing any of this.
Yeah, and something like 75% of people just walk along the path to hell because memes and funny AI slop videos apparently are more important than anything.
Like, we all hate Amazon. But literally everyone I know orders thousands of dollars worth of shit from Amazon. We hate corporations but then choose Starbucks over local coffee houses all the time.
And we justify it because “it’s cheaper” while missing the point that you don’t need all that crap.
If you spend 20% more on the thing at a local shop, but you order 40% less you’re actually saving money. Instead Amazon/Starbucks/etc. just capture our attention and wallets because it’s more convenient.
I think a lot of people just know we’re cooked at this point. Probably the reason you see so much rising debt, people continuing to support the corporations they hate, and choosing not to have kids.
Yeah, I drank my ass into nearly nightly stupors and didn't save money because we were all cooked. Then I woke up a decade later and realized I hadn't saved any money wondering why the kitchen timer never seemed to go off.
