    I don’t think you understand. These poor companies are only doing what they must to provide excellent products and services to the masses. If you cannot afford them, simply stop being poor.

    That’s actually a great reframing. We are all indeed experiencing the cost of greed crisis. If you read about the circular financing in the AI debt bubble, it’s driving the costs up for everything indirectly.

    It’s called capitalism. We pay and work for billionaires. They are arguably the most expensive thing in our live. At least they are having fun.

      Asocial mental decline?

      Problematic economic hoarding?

      Acting like a fucking cunt?

      Honestly, could be any of these.

    It is to the point where it is illogical and a black hole type of all consuming type of greed. They are willing to have nothing left for wealth their bloodline can’t even spend.

    Most businesses are no longer reporting that. Just the opposite actually.

    Just saying.

    Operational costs and the cost of doing business is not the same as the cost of living. The cost of greed is the cost of doing business and companies are absolutely screwing all of us over.

    The cost of living is the cost of being gouched to survive.

    Not the same thing at all.

    edit: Just noticed all the downvotes.
    I guess I should have put a /s on it, lol.
    The claim that this shit isn’t greedflation is ridiculous.
