    When the top 10% of earners account for 50% of the overall economic activity, it’s clear why the wealthy have just decided to stop catering any and all products and services to the bottom 90% of earners. They really want us to be in the “you’ll own nothing and love it” situation, the bottom 90% as a permanent renter class that has to rent everything from their home to their car to their computer.

    I mean, it’s kind of frustrating that our media can’t put this together and call a spade a spade. It’s pretty fucking obvious.

    The kicker is that they still want us stuck renting cars, they couldn’t possibly ever give in to the idea of quality public transit because they can’t bleed money from us with that.

      It’s not that they can’t; it’s that they won’t because they’re the propaganda arm of that same 10%.
