Buying an item from a shop. Two weeks ago, it was a 10-pack (in a cardboard box that gets recycled) for $8.

Now, it's a 20-pack for $18.

The 20-pack is literally two 10-packs shrink-wrapped together...

So not only has the price gone up 12.5% in just a couple of weeks, but there's additional plastic waste bound for landfill...

I want to be healthier.
I want to bicycle more in the early morning.
None of the local bars are open for hours.
So much for that idea, I guess.

None of the hyped wonderfulness excuses the insanity and narcissism of spending so much on a property with more room than is genuinely needed ... in a country where homelessness and acres to healthcare are glaring issues. The grotesque idiocy of the hoarding capitalism hypes as 'success' becomes more and more obvious.

Tax the Rich

#Inequality between the global north & south is disturbing

While Elon Musk paid a tax rate of over 3% from 2014 to 2018, a market trader in Uganda selling rice, flour & soya paid 40% in taxes. She makes $80 a month in profit -- it is estimated that #ElonMusk makes US$ 200 million MONTHLY

82-year-old #Luccombe resident refuses to leave home despite five-foot drop caused by landslide

He’d repeatedly complained to #SouthernWater about a water leak in his garage over 2 years ago, which he eventually fixed with a friend.

However, a burst water main in 2022, he says, coincided with new large cracks appearing on his home.

#VerticalIntegration
#CapitalismFail

Globalism is gradually grinding to a halt as long supply chains, just in time inventory resupply, & uncertainty over capital mobility meets permanent energy shortages & political chaos.

Capitalism can only survive by vertically integrating (and localizing) all aspects of production. But this option is only available to the largest corporations with financial resources & market leverage.

United force-fed me ads about themselves being "the best" once they where sure I was strapped to their metal box, and all that dumb ass exec-pushed "brilliance" did is set up extra disappointment for the flight attendant's subsequent announcement about the wifi not working. 💣 💥 🤡
