That’s why instead of having 1 fully functional shipping services, we have many half assed and inefficient ones.
Fedex Rant
I’m just salty at Fedex for being the worst pakage services and delaying my package 4 times. I paid for 2 day shipping and am now looking at day 5(which I still would have been okay with if it came before the 31st!). What am I going to do with a Halloween costume on Wednesday? I hope all the workers organize and greatly increase their material conditions and the CEOs never see a bonus again.
Anyone have any other stories about the inefficiency of the innovations capitalism breeds to make me feel better?
I saw a 60 minutes segment yesterday that made me cringe. So basically it was just jacking off some air purification company and treating their CEO as such an expert on the matter that it took me 5 minutes to tell that he wasn’t a government official from the CDC, because that’s how the host treated him. The CEO treats it like such a gamechanger for human health that it isn’t only progressive but profitable. So the whole thing was an ad for his air purification system to sell to land owners/ businesses. It’s a decent idea, but the fact that it’s being gatekept due to the greed of business owners/landowners (and the greed of this CEO for charging exorbitant prices for something that is supposed to be great for humanity’s future health) SHOULD be eye opening to more people as to what capitalism cares about. Money over everything. To clarify the
adsegment was mostly about how helpful this would be with dealing with covid. They say “well we could all go back to work and not do online anymore” which basically admits that they don’t care about covid. If they did they’d be all for staying at home and keeping cases down. It also is just a way to be like “pls buy building space, pretty pls with a multi-thousand dollar cherry on top?”“No no, this is a revolutionary technology but we HAVE to charge people for it.” Haha the contradictions are insane
“Buh…but…porky doing the right thing is childish, don’t be naive kiddo! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to write an op-ed about encouraging workers to throw in free labor for their boss, it’s the morally right thing to do even if it’s at your expense! Don’t be so selfish, be a TeAm PlAyEr!”
