    It was in the chapo book, and it's still the best way to put it. These people are living fischer price lives. Their life styles are only possible with the extreme inequalities between imperial core and global south. Like, for every person living this life, a couple a dudes have to mine for coltan while having AKs pointed at their heads, a couple gals had to sit in a sweatshop making their wear-once business casual clothes, etc.

        Oh yeah,because of course there's the super exploitation but if that wasn't enough you still gotta have your company uber driver and company sbux workers making your food and driving you around.
