Modern life increasingly consists of people extracting money from one another
Every interaction now seems to contain a toll booth.
Rent. Fees. Subscriptions. Finance charges. Delivery charges. Consultancy. Platforms taking percentages. Employers extracting more output without proportionally increasing pay.
Everyone is trying to move a little bit of someone else's cash flow onto their own balance sheet.
The real looksmax is reducing how extractable you are.
