The ultimate outcome of capitalistic authority is that more and more resources are consumed, requiring more effort from fewer people, to produce goods which are either useless in the literal functional sense that they provide no benefit or are actually detrimental to people (such as mobile games) or producing cheap functional goods which are restricted from anyone to use due to corporate capture of legislation restricting control and access for corporations of anything actually useful

@kaye Anything that could be classified as "consumer goods" I would consider to be useless or worse-than useless.
Functional goods are largely reserved for mid-tier businesses and corporations.
Anything that's not intended to be used on an industrial scale is made to be thrown away, to keep people buying more shit.
