Every dollar stolen from you and hoarded by the ultra-rich is time you wouldn't have had to spend working.
All you can do is stop giving your dollars to the ultra-rich. Don't buy Teslas. Don't shop at Amazon. Don't shop at Walmart. Don't use Microsoft products. And for all that is good and holy, do not use Facebook.
But also maintain an older car for as long as possible, shop at thrift stores, do your own cooking, garden, save meat for special occasions, collect rainwater, get some older used solar panels, and have a small monthly hobby budget. You'll find you can live so well on so little. For some reason we've all been conditioned to act like we're wealthy for no reason at all. True wealth is freedom from the grind, not a stupid new toy or status symbol.
Become Hobbit pilled and realize the good life isn't about isolation and stupid stuff but deep connections with friends and the earth.
Also, if you buy stuff, make sure it will last and/or is repairable (including access to spare parts).
Sadly one of the beacons of hope I had, beyerdynamic, was acquired and I’m not sure how long they’ll keep selling spare parts. I did get more than 15 years out of my pair of DT770 Pro though.
