I’m saying this because lots of people ask “who will buy your products when the people are poor?” to the companies,

but the companies don’t actually care whether you buy their products. As long as they have extracted enough out of you that they already own everything, further profits are not a priority.

I’m saying this in the context of people getting poorer and poorer and the current cost-of-living crisis, where companies don’t pay a living wage anymore and people ask “who will buy your products when we can’t afford to?”. It was never about revenue, it was always about ending up owning everything.

    When you buy something from a big corporation, unless you’re tipping (and frequently even if you are tipping) usually $0 goes to the workers. It all goes to the company.
