Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I work retail, a large hardware store specially. All our customers are bored boomers buying fancy ass grills and over priced yard equipment to make their 3 acre plot look nice. The fucking hardware store recently opened a section that sells like fancy jams and sauces for dinner parties. The whole economy is re-gearing to just jerk off petite-bourgeois.
The Gamestop-ification of retail.
I’ve kind of noticed this restructuring too. A lot of ads I’ve been getting have all been “for your business” and every slop is just some dumb business tech or how to hire ’the unicorn’ faster.
Even once I had the opportunity to visit my more successful brother in a major city and a lot of the ads on public transport are the same way, that by being within a city, ads assume you must be rich.
DC ads are literally just pictures of missiles and jets with a company's logo next to it.
