Honestly, it's a way bigger problem that kids are being indoctrinated into "keeping up with the Joneses" as such a young age.
We've officially made children part of the Conspicuous Consumption game and motherfucker, they don't have money, it's their parents money!
It's sickening and will fuck their finances their whole lives if having the best iPhone is more important than being able to put food on your plate.
I'm way the fuck more worried about these kids indoctrinated into a Capitalist hell-hole more than I am about fucking Android.
If our democratic future is banking on these kids saving us, and they're already rooted firmly up a corporations asshole, we're fucked.
Is this why me and my equally autistic partner are so decent with our money against statistical odds?
I mean i knew purchases for status where a thing but surely thats just the odd snobbish people right?
