And then there's the repercussions from all of that.

We have a populace where the majority are in debt and barely capable of paying for food and shelter.

Who's buying all the shit in stores? Yeah, the 1% have money, but they can only buy so many pairs of pants. There's tons of articles on the massive food waste from grocery stores not selling food in time (because people are too poor to PAY FOR all of this produce and meat that's covering all of the shelves), but there's also all the physical goods that don't break down.

All of the mass-produce' plastic and clothing doesn't just magically vanish when it doesn't sell.
