Consumtariat

Hey there kiddo! Today we are going to learn about this big word "consumtariat".

So, you know how we go to the store and buy stuff like toys, clothes, and food? Well, there are some people whose main job is to buy and consume (use) things. They are called "consumtariat".

Just like how some people have a job to make things (like toys, clothes, and food) to sell, the consumtariat's job is to buy and use those things. They are important because they help the people who make things know what people like and want to buy.

The consumtariat includes people from all different backgrounds and ages, but they all have one thing in common: they like to buy things!

So, that's basically what a consumtariat is - people who like to buy things and do it often. Pretty cool, huh?
