    that’s not how capitalism works. if you’re not selling enough shit you find a way to make the same people buy more or pay more. line must go up. no scaling back. line must go up.

        If line stays flat? Things kinda gradually get shittier for a while.

        If line goes down? Economic collapse. Riots in the street. Civil anarchy. Homelessness and crime will skyrocket.

        Those of you who have never taken an economics class think this is satire.

        The problem is when corporate profits go up but wages stay flat or go down. Or when wages go up for some but not for others.
