    Yeah CEO’s and shareholders are driving it to the extreme, but in the end everybody wants their interest on savings/investments, their yearly wage increases etc. The whole economic system is at fault and America is driving it to the extreme.

        One of those theories is the circulair economy which basically against consumerism and working more on the r-ladder to make companies produce better goods.

        But first the US needs to get their shit together with bullshit that is designed for people to buy as much as possible like the taxes not being included in the price. Same with tips and other fees. Normally that is called misinformation on price, but American jusr accepts it. Some people even defend that bullshit.

        Another theory involves giving people other benefit than more which is more in line with how it worked in mid-century. But then instead of having a king ontop have the state untop
