It's not at all like Carlin's work. Remember that Carlin was a master of rhetoric, and his presentations were meant to persuade the audience to agree with him. Sarcasm was not typically one of his tools, because he knew that sarcastic statements would be taken at face value. Carlin would not have sarcastically talked about billionaires as a product of everyday consumerism, but he did talk about how consumerism is produced by billionaires as part of their overarching societal influence.
Your punishment is to relisten to Carlin's "big club" rant.

👌👍
did it though?
@LemmyIsFantastic @self have you bumped your head?
