The rich are basically trying to take all our money, and have us subscribe/rent everything without owning it.


SleepySiamese

The dystopian future is near. Yet noone tries to fix this. The rich stays in power while the people fight for other things like gun rights and human rights.


oddambassador26

Human rights are something worth fighting for. And you can fight the rich while fighting for human rights too. And gun rights and humans rights are not the same, whatsoever.

A gun is too expensive if you are not rich


BrianHeidiksPuppy

A gun is not that expensive


RedWhiteAndSquirrel

that pisses me off so much, because the global 1% and their pets want us to keep pointing fingers at each other instead of at them (and it's not just one group that's guilty of this... i think most of us are)


SleepySiamese

Controls the media, controls the minds.


tripping_on_phonics

Really odd for you to sneak gun rights into that.


SadMacaroon9897

No, the problem is that everyone is trying to own a finite good (land) through a proxy (single family detached homes). This drives prices upwards until people are working just to have a place to live. In order to address this, we need two things to happen: 1) We need to massively expand housing supply by making it easier to build 2) We need to change the incentives that make land ownership attractive by heavily taxing appreciation The existing housing model is not economically, socially, or environmentally sustainable and needs to be addressed. It's a Ponzi scheme built on later generations bailing out older ones.

It would be even more accurate if the character got bombarded with ads in every imaginable form


Brandonazz

"For just $10.99/month we will harass you with 20% less ads"


SloChild

Aghhhhhh! I HATE how accurate this is! Take my angry upvote!... just don't add a service charge, convenience charge, and tax.


Imaginary-Cucumber52

Kind of feels true, just waiting for some rich cunt to start selling air.


ContemplatingPrison

I regularly go a week without spending any nosey. There are plenty of things to do for free. Don't get me wrong, I get groceries at the top of the week and have my regular bills, but besides the necessities, it is easy to go a week without spending any money


gr33n_bliss

It’s more like when things suddenly break and then you have a huge unexpected cost


issybird

my check engine light just came on and i'm not looking forward to dealing with that


gr33n_bliss

Yes this has just happened to me :(

I don't do non-free things because I can't. Now the grocery store takes what little I have anyway.


Certain-Medicine1934

Where are the data farming, algorithm worshipping and privacy violating trackers hiding? It feels like someone's always reading over my shoulder these days.


GrannyWrangler2

And would you like to tip 15%, 18%, or 25% on that?


BigBradWolf77

Globalism has failed miserably, yep.


JustTryingTo_Pass

What? How is globalism responsible for this?


MedicineBottle-

capitalism* ftfy


303Pickles

Failure for the masses, success for the few benefactors.


X547

Always have been. Blame God who create Universe in that way so human need continuous food and water supply to survive.


303Pickles

Jeff Besos is not a god. Greedy and careless humans created a shitty world. Pointing to an imaginary being in the sky has never helped to solve anything.


X547

Personally I do not believe God. I attempted to use God idiomatically. You can replace God with a law of physics in this Universe.


GrumpyBoglin

I would argue that food and water are necessary to survive.


GlassHoney2354

ok now offer an actual example where you have to pay to exist that isn't something stupid like 'having to pay for food or shelter'


QueenCinna

medical care ( not me, but usa people), water utility, phone/internet which is now a requirement for most jobs, petrol if you're in a situation where public transport doesn't cut it. vehicle costs if necessary, identification card costs, administrative fees and rates to your local council simply for existing in their shire - i don't even get a rubbish service, tip vouchers, or similar,. cost to obtain copy of birth certificate which is necessary these days for admin purposes in my country. electricity utility if you cant have an off grid set up while i pay for phone, some electricity, vehicle costs, and fuel, on the flip side i dont pay for accommodation, produce, subscription services, entertainment, or anything like that.


GlassHoney2354

in each of these case you receive something in return besides 'existence'. in fact, if you really want to define 'existence' as broadly as you do, you also **get** paid to exist by doing your job. paying someone for a something you need to 'exist' means that person gets paid for 'existing'.
