Companies that are structured to maximize short term shareholder value need to make extra profits at all costs.

Supply lines were strained during the pandemic, which led to drastic price increases. Supply lines stabilized and the pandemic subsidized. Prices didn’t go down? Why?

Because the companies that set prices need to make more money this quarter to make the shareholders happy. And they bribe the politicians and the judges and the regulators to control the system at every level.

These rich assholes doomed our world to destruction and our “leaders” were too greedy and small minded to stop them.

Enjoy the ride down
