Meanwhile, in China You’d never have seen this in the days of Mao. Spot the lone Volkswagen Passat Lingyu in a sea of Audi A6s.

This just proves how much harm comes from recreating scarcity in a virtual environment. How brainwashed are we humans that we need currency to trade for things that cost nothing to make?
