100% it's just a way to get us to buy things. Sometimes it feels like the rich are all trying to plan their exit by finding any way possible to take money from people.
Somehow I am starting to feel like that it is not even about taking the money or exit. It is about making numbers go up. Anything for that goal. Without any actual plan for end goal or keeping it together in the end.

I think it's just mindless, and not in service of any kind of plan.
But that's really unsatisfying, so there's a strong temptation to think there's a plan and look for one. Sort of like the situations that lead to conspiracy theories.
100% agree! When I say or think what I said above I do tend to feel like a conspiracy nut, which isn't typical. It's just hard not to just think they're all evil at this point but you're surely correct that it's just mindless stuff that causes the numbers to go up and they like that. (Like the other response said)
if I came and rubbed a feather on your neck while you try to work would you be able to control your emotions or would you punch me in the mouth in rage? :)
everything is enshittified and most of the global economy is just financial engineering
