We Own Nothing

Today, do we truly own anything? Yeah I own my clothes, paid off my car a couple of years ago, little things here and there. However, you can't deny that we live in the age of subscriptions. Movies and T.V. Shows. If I want to watch a movie, it might be available on Netflix, but not available on Hulu. Or there is a T.V. Show I was interested in watching, but it is only available in Disney Plus. Trying to find DVDs, but they are becoming less available. Especially for newer films and series. Video games. Sure I can still buy discs, but you still need to download them. Even then, game companies have control over them. For example, Bethesda, released a "10 Year Anniversary Edition" for Fallout 4. Because that changed the game's software, that edition even messed up people who already purchased the game. I miss the days where they released a full game on a disc or cartridge. Granted, people can work on them if there are glitches, but some games are released when they are barely 70% done. Some companies make a quick buck, sell the game, and don't fix the issues. It has gotten to the point where people are making simple everyday items become a subscription when they do the "Buy Now & Pay Later" BS. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. I went to a vitamin store and they had that option. It's ridiculous. Even houses are subscriptions. People want to own homes, but it is hard when corporations and private home owners rent out the homes. On top of that, not enough affordable houses are being made to combat the rental market. You can try to mortgage the home, but that just looks like a subscription for me too until I fully pay it off.
