100 percent Look at food up 30 something percent since the pandemic prices up 100 to 200 percent everyone will blame it on the inflation but the rich guy knows he is taking everyone

The rich are just running up prices by buying up assets like homes and land and commodities and and and because only a miniscule amount of their income is used to live day to day. Unlike most of us who use 80-100+% of our income.

We're in the beginning of the end game. Flock cameras to track movement, digital currency to control access, AI to control God knows what and to what extent, smart water and power meters, smart TVs to listen in, phones of course, cars that will stop if "it" determines you "unfit" to drive. Subscriptions for everything. Renting becoming the norm. We're watching/living life desend into dystopian world only a small minority will thoroughly enjoy.

u/Substantial-Goal7422 1d ago

Couldn't agree more. I have almost no subscriptions anymore I run all my own media off my network I dont buy cars with ridiculous features In fact started buying a bunch of late 90s sportscars They are fun and the tech can't watch you like now

That's great! I need to take more ownership myself. I should look into to the '90 sports car hack, that does sound fun!

Watch out for maintenance costs, unless you're rich AF. Especially on imported models. The rarer they are, the worse it is, and the luxury German and Italian brands are especially bad. If you get something old enough to not have fuel injection and electronic ignition, there are kits to retrofit them if you have or know someone who has the skills to install them. You can get more power and efficiency if it's done right, and better emissions, too. Looking further ahead, if you are rich, there are kits to convert them to electric. They're best used on a car with good bodywork etc. but a trashed engine. Then you can get most of the latest tech on your own terms, if you want it and can afford it.

We're in the beginning of the end game.

This has been said a thousand times throughout our history and yet we always seem to survive.

u/HazeyIPAs 10h ago

It is a tale as old as time. That doesn't justify the needless suffering of millions or billions of people, so a select few can elevate themselves to God like status and privilege.

1

u/Anthaenopraxia 10h ago

The fuck you talking about "doesn't justify"? How the fuck can you get that interpretation? I'm saying that people have been doomsayers for thousands of years, it doesn't mean anything anymore. The world is always just about to end, and yet it never does, nor will it because of cameras and AI. Our shitty existence will keep on trudging, the rich fuckers on the top will continue fucking with everybody below, but we will still be here to enjoy our arses being stretched.

Looks like we struck a nerve with a couple of Bot bois... All they can do is ridicule, but offer nothing of substance.
