Amazon is the perfect example of capitalism metasticizing and killing society.

It is good for companies to innovate, reduce costs, etc.

It is terrible for those companies to then become so powerful they can control legislation and crush any further competition for all perpetuity.

Capitalism is fantastic, until you realize that without strong regulation, companies will simply squeeze everything beneath them in the name of profit.

I worked in logistics and supply chain for over a decade. Let me tell you, you know shit is broken when all you see is fealty to the largest companies.

Small business pays 2000 for a container? Walmart is paying 200. Why? Because Walmart brings in so much business that any shipping company would drown a million bags of kittens just to get a slice, so they in turn quote low, and squeeze anyone they have power over (suppliers, staff)

It’s a sick game, and it’s killing us.

Fair enough, that was more of a screaming info the void kind of statement for any MAGA/Maple MAGA chuds who might be reading

🥱 boring attempt at rage bait

What it says is that we will always prioritize money and convenience over quality or societal health. Simple as.

You vastly overestimate the number of people who would choose higher prices in order to support higher wages. Vastly. I mean you almost sound crazy the idea is so out there. I wish you you were right though FWIW.

As a whole, society rewards the lowest acceptable quality at the lowest possible price. It’s called capitalism and it is, in fact, the direct cause of the in progress collapse of civilization. And there’s nothing you can do to stop it, because your neighbor will still happily line up for 15 minutes to get a lukewarm, incompletely cut bagel with 98% of the cream cheese on one side, with a mediocre coffee, served by a temporary foreign worker.

It’s not the immigrants/TFWs, it never was, it never will be.

Doesn’t have to be workers

Oh Facebook must be lighting up with frothing boomers right now

I got downvoted because the anti-vax mouth breathers don’t like being called out on their shit. Like the other goon who posted a map of COVID vaccination rates trying to defend Alberta’s measles rate. Dunning Kruger champions.

Incorrect.

Try per capita instead of total.

Alberta has had a huge drop in childhood vaccination rates and has more than triple the per capita measles case rates compared to other provinces.

You can feel free to keep making yourself look like an idiot on the internet, at least you have a safe space to be protected from the consequences of your ignorance.

Thanks Alberta!

Very proud that Canada has its own leper colony now.

I would trust a Chinese made fighter jet before I would trust an American one.

And that’s saying something.
