In the short term, yes. The money you’ve saved is now considered “disposable income” and will be absorbed by the next person in line.
If a paycheck could make you wealthy, no one would give you a paycheck. A retirement account CAN make you wealthy but only after the machine has squeezed 40+ years out of you. But one way or another that money is leaving your hands and flowing back into the system.
Ok, sure. There are theoretical and convoluted ways to disconnect from the electric grid. You’re still buying solar panels. Your out of pocket costs don’t change. The river of money still flows into and out of your life. It’s called currency for a reason. The whole system is designed to stop you from keeping your money.
The dark secret about money is that it only works when there’s isn’t enough for everyone. Despite what politicians want you to believe, you are SUPPOSED to live paycheck to paycheck- at least under a western capitalist economy. This is why poor people are both the most valuable citizens, and easiest to control. It’s slavery with more steps.
No they wouldn’t. Final consumer cost is based on what people WILL pay not what they WANT to pay. At the end of the day the overarching goal of capitalism is for 99% of the population to spend 100% of their earnings. You can’t funnel all wealth to the 1% if the 99% are holding on to it.
I think it makes more sense when you graph the movie-going population against demographics. They’re following the money. Any concepts of inclusiveness or social reform are purely coincidental.
I had over 120k upvotes once… kid, you think you get to a point in your life where you’ve accomplished enough to keep yourself afloat but IT’S A LIE. You can never relax! You are ALWAYS being pursued by your lessers. Let me be a warning to you all… it can happen to you.

World News@lemmy.world•As Trump lavishes money and praise on Argentina, more Americans ask: Why?English
22·2 months agoYou are all thinking way too hard about this. Trump’s understanding of geopolitics is not any more complicated than his understanding of American politics. Argentina is Texas. Canada is California. Reward red. Punish blue. That’s it.
Bad thing: banana Republic. Other than that… 100% legit.
