They aren't built to be affordable, consumption now is on debt trapping and managing infinite payments (car, house, hell you can take a loan out for a pizza). Shits fucked and it's fucked whether or not a worker is making an actual wage but I know I'd rather see someone not fully strugglging while doing manual labor for already overpriced cars. i.e. stop criticizing workers for wanting something better with such lib takes that "oh no this will harm my consumptuion that's already harmed under capital".
