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.

Why did they dip this screenshot in strawberry milk

“Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell”

We have a word for this, but some people are still afraid to use it.

Late stage capitalism. Working as intended.

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.

Republicans hate "BiG gOvErNmEnT" so much they are completely letting all these giant corporations price gouge and report record profits while workers are struggling. Regulation is bad and scary! Them and their rich donors will still be fine when gas, egg, and bread prices skyrocket...

Don’t forget layoffs too.

Not the same thing at all.

Agreed. Sick word play/ burn. Now what?
