Don't forget the housing crisis!

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 months ago

But landlords are making record profits!

When the rich are in crisis, the government bails them out.

When we're in crisis, we're supposed to stop eating avocado toast...

You'd think the working class would be a part of society "too big to fail." =\

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

The working class are nothing but tools for the upper class. Always have been. We are the unclean undesirables.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is the working class failing?

If the entirety of it stopped working, im pretty sure it would be considered "too big to fail"

Too bad worker's solidarity is barely a thing anymore

It has always been a struggle that seemed to require starving to really get the ball rolling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Exactly. Everyone's a revolutionary in the boardroom but you're lucky if anybody's got your back stomping up to the manager's office.

A tale as old as time, annoyingly.

See plebs vs patricians literal thousands of years ago :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, they can rip my avocados out from my cold dead hands.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 7 months ago

Here's the meme again without the bs on all sides

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 months ago

The crisis is that us plebs are speaking out and complaining about the gruel we’re not getting.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is what I said all through covid; it was all lies and bs used to justify raising prices

[–] [email protected] 46 points 7 months ago (3 children)

You’re getting downvoted because it sounds like you think COVID is fake. I agree with you that companies made up every reason they could to raise prices, but it was because COVID was a good scapegoat, not because COVID is fake.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

Exactly. If there's a line companies love saying it's "In these uncertain times..." The more you're worried about unpredictability, the more predictable their little lines get...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Seems like it. War, covid, inflation, it's all very convenient scapegoat. Updooted OP.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Was I getting downvoted? I didn't see, but yeah exactly, they used covid as a scapegoat, which was completely bullshit

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The message was too good for the image to also be of high quality.

We are in a pixel crisis but pixel companies are making record profits.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

It seems to me that its the profits that cause the crisis

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

This tells me I should start a climate company

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

When companies are in crisis there is always a bailout.
The normal man is just suppose to die for the corporate overlord rather than get help.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No ones in crisis. The media gets people all wound up over nothing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

It's not nothing. It's so you think it's ok that they're stealing your wages, and ruining the world. The media is part of the crisis.
