Exploiting peoples addictions is what literally drives capitalism.

Plus making people pay for essentials by gatekeeping everything behind the owner class

The great thing about capitalism is that I can choose where I spend my money. And use my money to make money. If people wanna be stupid with their money, that's on them. I don't give a shit if they go broke because that is on them.

Addictions like food, clothing, shelter.... and capitalism is the best system we have for providing those things.

Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Tesla hardly sell essential products

Amazon sells food, clothing and shelter.
