One of the things that has stunned me in recent years is the total lack of intellectual curiosity of working class and young people.
The biggest example is basic consumer economics and the use of debt to basically enslave people.
How property taxes work.
How interest rates effect everything from credit cards, auto loans, home buying etc. and how much people are held captive by these companies that extend loans to people that have no clue what they are getting into.
Would you say that the masses are brainwashed to “live in the moment” and being into sensationalism so they can be duped into going into debt to achieve their temporary desires?
