The late 1990s and early 2000s was peak capitalism for average consumers. You could still buy very good quality products in retail stores. Sure, you would often pay a hefty price but the products were built to last generations and most still work today. No nonsense subscriptions needed, no internet required to function, you bought it you owned it. We need to go back to that kind of real economy or future generations will never have the satisfaction of living in a true free market. They'll never know what it is like to save up money and the thrill of buying something and owning it for a lifetime.
Face it, the forced-surveillance rental 'economy' we have today is FAKE and GAY on ass-fucking hemorrhoids. Try changing my mind.
