I love the sound of that.
But it isn't happening. Corporations will get a refund. People will not, and the prices will remain elevated.
I'm kind of tired of this "acceptance" of loss. Like, I get it, I don't think it's incorrect. It's just at a certain point I think it becomes a means of a collective justification for inaction.
It feels like the peasants of feudalism just accepting that their share of crop is getting reduced. "Welp, guess we'll just eat less this winter. Hope Timmy survives the cold".
I guess I'm looking for this same comment but with rage and anger. The passive doomerism needs to go. Us peasants need to be talking about the best methods for sharpening our pitchforks with every inch of crop they take from us.
At the end up the day. This "truth" is only true for as long as we allow it to be. We should repeat that with every inch they take.
Let me know how that works out for you. Cheers.
I'm not talking about adventurism you twat. I'm not even talking about collective action. I'm talking about showing some emotion and anger at the very fucking least.
This passive acceptance and doomerism is so fucking boring. If you're not going to at least be outraged can people like you just shut the fuck up?
You're literally respond with the same peasant brained acceptance. No one's impressed with your apathy. It doesn't make you look smart. It makes you look like a coward.
But go ahead. Give me another apathetic one line response. Good luck with it.
Ironically, that is exactly what would happen with Gavin Newsom if he won presidency in even a far cry of a free and fair election.
Gavin Newsom is fighting a billionaire wealth tax in Cali right fucking now. He's shut down universal healthcare in Cali when he had a chance.
We can do better than this scumfuck asshole who believes in nothing. Remember that during the primaries people.
BINGO! Once prices go up corporations are not going to drop them. They’ve seen people can pay it and that’s now the new threshold.
It’s a saddening truth.
Just like when many of them nearly doubled prices during those few months of super high inflation a couple years ago. No idea how people just accepted that month or two of 9% inflation somehow meant 150% prices are justified.
