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.

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

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

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…

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

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.

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.” =\

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

Is the working class failing?

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