    There is a quote from Davos awhile back where someone asked the elites how to prevent an uprising they were worried about, and the economist told them ‘raise wages’. and the elites just looked at him and ask him for a more practical answer.

    Yes peasants fight each other while I let my Crew pocket all that profit.

    It used to be worker got fucked and customer got good service, daddy got profit.

    Nowadays service is shit, worker is in poverty and daddy got even more profit…

      Yeah, but have you seen how cheap TVs are? I mean, barely anything else has gotten better and more affordable, but, like, look at the TVs.
