Don't forget the housing crisis!

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 30 points 5 months ago

But landlords are making record profits!

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 75 points 5 months ago (3 children)

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

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

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 31 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

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

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 5 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"

[–] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Too bad worker's solidarity is barely a thing anymore

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 5 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.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

A tale as old as time, annoyingly.

See plebs vs patricians literal thousands of years ago :(

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 47 points 5 months ago

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

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 35 points 5 months ago

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

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 31 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] tyler@programming.dev 46 points 5 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.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 15 points 5 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...

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 9 points 5 months ago

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

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

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

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago

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

[–] meathorse@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

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

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 9 points 5 months ago

This tells me I should start a climate company

[–] Vertelleus@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 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.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] xenoclast@lemmy.world 7 points 5 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.
