Modern oligarchs like Musk, Bezos, Gates, and Zuckerberg are exactly like medieval lords. The top 1% controls all resources, and it is almost impossible to buy an apartment today. We own nothing and just pay rent or subscribe to their platforms. These billionaires have total power to fire thousands of workers anytime and buy politicians for their own interest. They say they work for humanity, but it is just fake marketing. For example, they are silent on wars in Palestine and Ukraine. Majority of ordinary people and developers are too naive. They believe these lies and fail to see the real system

Well, I don't know your life, so I can't really say... If that is the case, however, that's truly a shame.

In my case, it's hard to say. At my age, my parents were living extremely frugally, though, admittedly, so am I. I have some better things lined up, though, working on my education and such... I hope to surpass my parents in terms of life quality, eventually.
