The proof is that the entire upper tier of the Executive Branch has completely lost its shit and is crewed by morons. Last time around there were adults in the room that reeled in his worst impulses even though he'd sneak a gainer in once in a while. This time? They're a clown car stuffed with ideologues, racists, and fools with the brake pedal ripped out.
Because Greenland is full of white people. If it were full of brown people, especially if they immigrate to the US frequently enough and “steal our jobs”, we might be hearing a different tune.
Some more irritating asshole ads - putting a price for $1 and then posting the real price in the text. Putting an image of an entire thing for a price but then in the text only selling a small part of it - i.e. show a pic of a car for $2,000 but then in the text state it’s only the wheels for sale.
Eh, there’s always someone doing that. Doesn’t matter the platform. Then there’s the rare bird asking way above market value and is completely and preemptively hostile to buyers by listing all the stuff they’ve done to the thing to make it worth whatever. “No dumbass questions about what it’s worth!” Easy enough to scroll past or just filter for an acceptable price range.
I don’t disagree. I don’t know about strictly “techno-“, because it isn’t restricted just to the insertion of technological rent extractors every step of the way, it’s also every single business trying to maximize profits at every step along the production line, and they’re all effective monopolies that have no other way to make the line move up other than to charge for it. Almost nobody is making anything new, it’s just putting different color lipstick on a pig.
Way, way back, capitalism was a version of “the customer is always right.” Various companies would compete to sell a product at the right price point and quality the customer could accept. It wasn’t perfect, but it was pointed mostly the right direction.
Now capitalism is just the few major companies competing to see who can make the biggest cash grab and fuck the regular customer with prices, fees, and enshittification. Now we have dystopian monopolies divorced from the consumers.
Pesto. Toast the bagel face down in the pan with some olive oil. Fry the egg in the pan next, to your preferred doneness, add salt, slice of cheese. Put pesto on one or both bagel faces, your pref.
Yeah, just read that article here. Follow the money. They never stop enshittifying, trying to force people into walled gardens that are as shittily built and expensive as possible.
