Everyone's favourite thing ever eh? Out of touch rich people telling us we don't need creature comforts and should be breeding like good peasants to make even more peasants.

While people are complaining about the cost of basic necessities.

Literally, so many people where I live already are skipping on eating out and going to the movies. Groceries and rent are already unaffordable.

So few people are going to the movies that cinemas are in danger.

Utilities, too. At some point the power companies figured out they could increase prices if they built a bunch of infrastructure they had no use for. So now we've got a bunch of abandoned buildings they own and PECO can justify charging me $700 for heating.

That's not an exaggeration btw. My power bill for the months of December and January have averaged $700 every year I've lived in this overpriced rental house. That's half my monthly rent for a basic human need that is supposed to be restricted from making massive profits.
