      The richer the rich get, the less the rest of us look like the middle and lower classes and the more we look like peasants. Serfs.

      The more wealth inequality widens that gap, the more modern capitalism starts to look like techno-feudalism.

      And that’s really what they want without saying it, isn’t it? They don’t want us to own anything of our own…work their fields and factories, pay them to live in housing they own, and convert all other possessions into subscription services, all in an effort to create a system where the rest of us only exist as a source of labor and wealth for them, where even what they pay their serfs comes right back to them.
