    The relentless march to the bottom line. The ever worsening quality of products and services, at the same time that sizes are reduced, and prices are raised. The fact that people don’t matter beyond their ability to be squeezed for their last penny.

    Subscription pricing for almost everything. I had a pest control company try to sell me one where i pay every month for 4 quarterly treatments. Why would anyone think this is a good idea?

    • World leaders finding it okay that thousands of people are dying being murdered (as if it is a video game for them).
    • Everything gets more and more expensive.
    • My country just gave 4B to another country but there are so many issues. They want to give students “long study fines” & People can’t pay well for their groceries.
    • The overall hate, racism and fascism.

    Could make a whole longer list.

    Having to pay for EVERYTHING! Want to not live outside? Gotta pay rent. Want water? Gotta pay the water company. Want to eat? Gotta buy food. Want to go somewhere? Got to pay for vehicle insurance.

    I keep telling my friend that we’re heading to the Cyberpunk society without the cool cybernetics. Hell, Nestle tried to privatise water which FALLS FROM THE SKY.
