    Tbh this does get at the issue of capitalist wealth inequality. Despite massive amounts of wealth being generated and funneled to the capitalist class, the capitalist class themselves cannot physically stimulate the real economy. Rich people also just have servants and cooks make their meals for them.

    They need the working masses of people to buy fast food slop due to long working hours but those hours don’t pay enough for peoples cost of living so people don’t buy fast food and instead scrimp and save.

    Capitalism is a death cult.

      Wild how Henry fucking Ford got it. Chuds have every reason to listen to the guy – he’s a dead white nazi who started the company that built the pickup truck their dads drove them around in. There’s no stretch of the imagination in which that asshole was woke, but somehow they keep ignoring him and steering the economy into the nobody-can-buy-shit ditch.
