Except the prices keep going up anyway and that seems to be just as big of a problem. Basically it just sounds like the entire system as it is is meant to fuck us no matter what. Either the great machine can continue to pumping out more bullshit and we can keep buying it with the ever-increasing prices that they want to put on them or we can't afford it and then we all end up without jobs and in a death spiral. Perhaps the problem is the machine.

Don’t forget these people kept telling us that paying people would cause inflation. Except that cost of living and corporate profits have outstripped worker income for decades.

Now people can’t afford to buy shit and we are being blamed for deflation as well. Basically any non capitalist will be blamed for he state of the economy no matter what.
