I'm sure the argument is wages. Lower prices means lower wages or less jobs.
Except... 1. not really, not in the long term and 2. it happens anyway
The endgame is that very few people have jobs, and almost nobody can afford to live. Yet a handful of people have so much money that their great great great grandchildren will never have to work a day in their life. It's a slow burn genetic genocide, except that being rich doesn't mean superior genetics. It means that cruelty and luck are considered genetic traits. And they will continue to use that as a basis for superiority, and kill off anyone below them because it benefits their corporate profits.
they will have to keep some slaves around to maintain thier little enclaves in the end.
They'll need a security team to protect them from the slaves.
Then the security team will kill the whole weak rich family and start this shit show over again.
The slaves eventually turn into the tyrants when they take power.
You're gonna need to add like 100 more greats there. These billionaires make more money out of just loans annually than most countries' GDPs. Then their children can continue making even more after their deaths without ever working a day.
Agreed, it's basically feudalism. These shitbags believe they're better because they're born better off. It's like the boys, they feel superior and we're just pawns for their use. But not one of them have had to wield a weapon to defend their position. We need to make them earn their position.
3 If everything costs 25% less with a 10% wage drop that makes everyone effectively richer.
Also, lower wages don't do shit if all the companies revenue goes to the exec c suite
