Imagine if they had to pay you for existence. Hear me out, what if we are all born indebted to the job creators gods we already worshipped. And the only way to pay it off is to sell your labour & body parts.

Think of the profits

No we'd just switch to the feudal system, every company will have its own store for anything the peasant would need in exchange for their labor.

Edit: If anyone's read the Pendragon book about the world where the company(s?) own everything, that's probably what it would be like without the televised squid games hopefully.
