Downsizing & Satire

Downsizing was a really great satire about the human condition. It was deflated humor, and no one was specifically the target of the jokes. It does talk about capitalism but it more so talks about how this specific situation affects the human condition. There is a still a working class in the small world, assuming that there always will be. This is shown through the Vietnamese woman who is shrunk against her will. Everything is very procedural to get to the small world as well, I found this funny. I also questioned, in a curious way, the logistics of the film. Like who makes all the little people stuff. Who will continue to make their stuff and stay big? And how does the food budget scale? What about the general finances and income?
