Products are being created for rich people. Poor people are being cut out of the economy.

There's already a lot of evidence that the majority of the economy is currently functioning off the economic activity of the upper 10% of society. That 10% accounts for 50% of all economic activity. They just want to take it a step further.

It was 50% at the end of 2024. They're probably closer to 55 - 57% now with inflation, doge firings, wars, tariffs, and off shoring

Okay but here's a half of a thought.

Who's building it, and how quickly do rich people get bored?

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Lol slaves or robots. And never.

Y'all are fuckin delusional. Aside from sabin down there. Mans got goals.

In my experience, people that chase infinite numbers are fucking soulless wretches. They've never enjoyed anything. So when I say they get bored, it's their very first and only state.

Also. We're not talking about what they want. I am currently building it. You are currently building it. You can argue we're slaves but that's just semantics at this point.

Who gets bored when you can hunt poor people for sport?

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

I hope to someday gore a billionaire.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Being hunted is the best the poor can hope for at this point.
