A capitalist fairy tale. Workers who only need chocolate beans and don't need to pay, cows that can produce unlimited milk with constant whipping, squirrels who can peel their shells. Let's take a look at the protagonist's family. The reason why the protagonist's family is poor and broken is because of a proletarian father who was taken away by a robot and unemployed, and a father needs to support his wife, four elderly people, and one child. Several other children pointed to the diseases of young people in modern society: binge eating, money worship, utilitarianism, and the erosion of young people's empathy by video games.

    Charlie Bucket: No. The gates are always closed.

    Grandpa Joe: Exactly.

    Charlie Bucket: But then, who's running the machines?

    Mrs. Bucket: Nobody knows, Charlie.
