For me the problem with the system is not about sustainability, it's about slavery by design and people not calling it out. Hopelessness for the masses, with people chasing their own tails, as there is more debt than there is money. "Slavery by design."

Someone time travelling into the future and arriving today unaware of how the financial systems works could go into a new car depot and see all the amazing technology on display and think wow life must be really great now hey? But if they travelled knowing the economic system and rules ahead of time they should be entirely unsurprised by learning after tasting some of the technology available that the majority of an average 'developed' country's population are hopelessly unable to own a house, a car and raise a family without record level of debilitating debt and peace of mind

It does make me wonder how the average working person can afford to stack sats when they've already a financial gun to their heads with no slack
