The fucked up part is that they want the poor to become poorer while the rich get to hoard more wealth than ever before. It’s almost like they’re too stupid to realize that the poor still need to spend money to live even if their debt just keeps piling up. The poor aren’t just buying a shit ton of luxury goods rn

Our system of capitalism is so broken that we need modern slavery to keep it from breaking. We will come to a tipping point where the working class cannot afford more debt and will have to do without before prices stabilize. I wanted a quick recession. Rip off the band aid, buckle down and do without. Not take out 10k in loans for groceries and rent. Demand refuses to slow down and corpo greed won't budge either so inflation will continue until something breaks. The issue is that the consumer competes with others for jobs, resources and goods, but corpos don't anymore. They move in ways to manipulate their users into buying, not to outdo their competition...that's bad for business.
