What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there's a decal that reads "Apocalypse 6x6."

I think I read somewhere that about 20% of the population spends money foolishly. Constantly buying premium cars, electronics,fashion, food, boats, etc. etc. while racking up debt to a point that they aren’t saving any money and live month to month.

If it wasn’t for that 20% out economy go into recession and millions would be out of work. Products the rest of us use would likely increase in cost as manufacturing would need to make the revenue somewhere.

If someone wants to spend their money on stupid shit let them. It keeps others employed.

That's an interesting idea, though I'd imagine it would secure profits more than employment.
