I'm just wondering how the companies will make money if there is noone to buy their products. Wealthy class can't support the economy.

- morkalork 3y agoUS is kinda fucked in this regard already. The median income is what, 30k? Unless your product is cheap or a necessity of some kind, you've probably already lost half your potential audience.
- rootusrootus 3y ago> The median income is what, 30k? A bit over 40K if you count everyone, and closer to 60K if you just count people working full time.
- myth_drannon 3y agoAnd with that income it will be hard to support social programs like pensions. So the pyramid scheme might just collapse and retirees are screwed. In that sense the talk about UBI looks completely bonkers if no high earners left to fund it.

- umeshunni 3y agoThere are plenty of people in the world and the median income globally has risen rapidly over the last few decades. All it means is that wasteful western lifestyles can't be continued while producing little of value.
- myth_drannon 3y agoThey will collapse as fast as they have risen. I don't see how 3rd world economies will survive without the westerm middle class. I guess just slaughter each other as humanity always did with excess populace.

The government will later offer debt relief to those who agree to be permanently sterilized. It will offset your debt by giving huge amounts of carbon credits for the emissions your children would have been guilty of.
