It does somewhat feel like all the levers of power are in the hands of people who have little to no reliance on the consumer market anymore. Your money is no good here.
They can all enjoy the perfect financial circlejerk with most of the world's money whilst the rest of us scratch at the window.
I have read this thing 2 times today and I can't find a meaning for this.
What does this idiom mean?
I mean, in essence, it refers to you trying to get someone else's attention when you are outside of a situation and looking in.
It's an old saying, longer version I know is:
"Saddest thing in the world is a cat scratching at the window because it used to be an inside cat."
