A now infamous phrase that was featured in a video marketed by the World Economic Forum. It implies that by the year 2030, the vast majority of commodities will be service-based rather than be allowed full individual ownership.
The video and its preachy, informal tone are now seen as a euphemism of oppression, corporatocracy, and subservience.
"Everything from your clothes, food, and property are now given a subscription fee. If you are unable to pay your never-ending list of charges, please inform our supervisors, who will escort you to the nearest available minimum-wage job.

A term used to describe a fictional character's death as predictable.
The term is a reference to the 2009 blaxplotation parody film, Black Dynamite, in which a character describes the idyllic future he has planned with his wife, moments before he is killed.
"When we get back home, I'm gonna retire from the revolution, start a family, buy a home in the country, raise our own fruits and vegetables, bake our own bread! Yeah, bake our o-"
The character's description of his dreams for retirement and pastoral living were never mentioned before this point in the story, and were only revealed moments before his death, as a tongue in cheek way of endearing the character to the audience.
The movie's name sake, Black Dynamite, then reinforces this self-aware joke, by momentarily breaking the forth wall to say, "Who saw that coming. Uh- I mean who saw where that came from?"
The term can be used anytime you notice a previously ignored character talking about their wonderful future plans, in what you believe may be an attempt to give their death more gravitas.
"Uh oh, our two favorite characters are talking about running away to a safe island together to live happily ever after once this epic battle is over. I sure hope they live, but it sounds like their baking their own bread to me!"
"How did you know that character was going to get killed off?"
"Oh her? Didn't you see her talking about how all her dreams were coming true, just moments earlier? She was totally baking her own bread for the last ten minutes of this episode!"
OR
(Moments after a character is killed, one might shout)
"HE WAS GONNA BAKE IS OWN BREAD!"

"Karina," you say, shaking her by the shoulder.
"Huh? Wha? Huh?" she says, waking up.
"It's time to go. We're leaving today."
"Finally. I'm fucking dead on my own schedule."
