“What if we made everything into a status symbol?”
“What’s wrong poors, don’t you like stuff? Yeah, I turned it into a luxury exclusively for the rich, but why aren’t you spending money you don’t even have?”
Can we start placing the blame on the rich? Why aren’t the people with money spending money?
Because they are already fat, happy and living a life of constant luxury filled with exciting distractions. You can only have so many servants in your third mansion or on your second private jet before they start getting in the way. So they invest most of their money instead of spending it, thereby making even more money by extracting our labor.
