Is there anything that only the rich can currently afford but that everyone will have in the future? (lemmy.one)

When the very first cars were built, only the rich could afford it, but now a large part of the population (in developed countries) has one or more.

What do you think will be such an evolution in the future?

All I can think of is capitalism filling it with shit.

Why make 50 beef burgers when I can add filler ingredients and make 100.

Capitalism breaks everything.

If cultured meat becomes cost-effective to produce, it may become the filler.

I add fillers at home when I make burgers.

Often times its just panko. Gets an extra burger or two out of the meat, and no one has ever noticed the difference. Still fantastic, juicy hamburgers.
