    tfw unrestrained capitalism guts manufacturing 🤷‍♂️

    it didn’t have to be like this. CEOs didn’t need 4th houses and megayachts in exchange for making cheaper, shittier products. 🤷‍♂️

    don’t buy new shit.

        Just because you can afford new cars doesn’t mean you should buy them. I have never bought a new car in my life, regardless of income, because it makes no financial sense. Side effect: house paid off by 40.

      In fact, we don’t need billionaires at all. Certainly not until poverty is eradicated in our country.
