What the fuck does anybody even spend money on? How does the economy prop itself up?
Good food from the grocery store, or any food places in particular come to mind. Everyone needs food and will pay for quality. Small fixes like alcohol, caffeine, or marijuana also come to mind.
Fresh air and sunshine are free. Video games… I get that some people buy 60 titles a year, but I feel like for most people, once you have a favorite multiplayer game or two, those are what you stick with, and don't need more.
Clothing is a minimal investment, unless you're a dumb ho who blows money constantly on stuff like that.
Internet is an understandable subscription, but buying TV is plain retarded.
I feel like the economy, through taxation, just drains those who are willing to work, and gives it to the poor, so they can buy stuff, and irresponsibly reproduce more customers who will further drain the tax base to buy more stuff. I feel like this is "our economy", a huge ponzi scheme of sorts that just depends on 3rd world mongrels to increase demand to keep everything afloat when there's really not much else you can buy to make your life any better, unless you're some kind of maladapted human who lives through video games and other intellectual properties.
Having your money inflated (devalued) and paying repeatedly for the same walls and roof over your head probably also has something to do with a) throwing your money away before it devalues further and b) throwing your money away for "mandatory bills" such as rent, because you sure as hell can't just "have" a piece of land and call it yours… unless you pay a huge amount of $$$ upfront.
I don't see that many things that need buying, to live a comfortable life. What I do see, is a bunch of involuntary payments for shit you "need" to "exist" comfortably. That is to say, if you can't pay for an apartment, you sure as fuck won't be allowed to exist in any sort of dwelling of your own making. Now I get that that's good in theory - niggers and shitskins would build their shanties anywhere they see fit otherwise. But when a system becomes unaffordable to a man, he has no choice but to either labor under the system, fair or unfair, or live in the gutters.
I'm starting to think we're fucking up majorly.
If a collapse ever happens, you'll have a bunch of nationless people gathered in megacities, with few needed but many "demanding".
Am I seeing this wrong? Or are humans severely retarded?
