I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.

    They’re gonna fall, we just have to stop saying yes. No more subscriptions, no more taxes, no more work. And we’re getting so many, 30s and 20s, we’re not buying anything anymore and most of all, we’ve been doing nothing. Soon billionaires will become millionaires and millionaires ordinary people.

      We could bring everything to a screeching halt and change everything in months if enough of us did that… But only if enough of us were willing to stop paying rent and not being able to afford food. It would take at least a couple weeks, at most until the end of the quarter, before a renegotiation of the structure of society is on the table

      Doing anything short of a full drop out in critical numbers will just lead to what we have now - modern capitalism cannibalizing itself trying to keep the exponential growth party going just a little bit longer… except everyone who committed to it end up further behind, sacrificing what they have now to speed up the process a bit
