@Bagaget@standishghost@andyflattery “Talking about” it.
Not implementing it themselves.
Rich people talk about all kinds of dumb shit and then the regular folk try to emulate it.
My comment was “don’t fall for it”
This is logically consistent.
Try to keep up.
@airline_king@paulswaney3 I don’t think it would be fruitful based on your comments with Paul. You’re taking a very “understanding” stance to this when every red blooded American should be seeing red.
Watched a guy with Down syndrome wearing aviator sunglasses open a bag of Cheetos in the store and start eating them. When his dad tried to stop him, he told him, "Pipe down, asshole."
@Duce_Mango@xCH3CKMAT3x@Fat_Electrician lolololololololololol yes you figured out the one market where supply and demand do not apply. You need a nobel prize.
@EV_Ventures_LLC@paulswaney3 There is nothing wrong with identifying that a voter block is voting against their interests due to suicidal empathy, tribalism or simply being fooled.
Agree on most points but it doesn't change the fact that buying this shit perpetuates an exploitative system.
I am personally fine with it but it's real.
"if not amazon then someone else" is only an argument if you believe we can't break our addiction to cheap foreign trash. Unfortunately I probably agree with you on this one but it's a bleak outlook to have.
"there is already a market for this" is 100% not true. It's probably 50/50 of people going to amazon looking for something they actually need and people going there looking for something to buy to satiate them for a bit or people adding something to cart "just because its cheap"
The pattern that sticks with me is people describing, in flat detail, how they stopped feeling anything real for their spouse or kids years ago. They keep showing up, paying bills, saying the right words, and treat the emptiness as a fixed fact of their life. The casualness of it is what unsettles.
