This is the key. Many people find out too late that they shouldn't have splurged on nonsense. Some never realize it.

That's right: as all economic power shifts inexorably into the hands of the billionaire, capital-owning class, with the complicity of the politicians bribed to turn their back on their own constituents, be sure to lay the blame where it belongs: at the feet of the working class, who lost their jobs to forces outside of their control but spend $5 on a soy mochacino instead of making coffee at home, which apparently counts as "splurging" on "nonsense," and which conveniently allows you to ignore the systemic problems causing the world's economic plight,

Yeah I mean on the other side of the spectrum you have people spending $300k+ on shiny pokemon cards
