Couldn't buy a house, so now we have to rent. Now that we can't afford rent, might as well live out of a car. Now cars are too expensive, might as well live out of a cardboard box.

Owner Class: “Hey - it should trickle down any minute. I know you’ve been waiting 50 years for it, but it’s gonna come this time. Meanwhile, please subscribe to our Cardboard-Box-as-a-Service.”

EDIT: Oops, I just got back from my beating. My owners wanted me to add an additional addendum:

“Cardboard-Box-as-a-Service (CBaaS) has some additional benefits. Our free tier allows you access to the box, along with special promotions from our sponsors that will play inside the box. Parking comes as an extra service in order to comply with the law. We will provide details on what surcharges you can expect, but our partner providers can communicate what rental fees for land for the CBaaS entail.”

“Our Premium Tier will remove ads. And finally our Super Premium Tier includes a bidet. Water service for the bidet is included with up to 10 bidet cycles per user, with additional licensing available for additional fees. Water pressure may be throttled when many concurrent users are using their bidet. We will release new details on additional plans to increase your booty stream priority, once we figure out how much we can get away with.”

I am tempted to save this comment just to see how accurate it is in ten years.

I am seeing way too many ads for diy shipping container homes. Yep, Amazon is going to corner the market when they age out their containers.

Pathetic.

Bezos just saw this post and cardboard box prices just tripled. Thanks a lot.

Have you seen how much cardboard boxes cost now?

Source: just got notice of lease termination, been looking into moving logistics

When the cost of cardboard is out of reach, what do?
