currently? Where? I only see companies with one foot over the line waiting to see if the govt blows the whistle and it looks like the ref ain’t blowing.
It’s gonna accelerate even more. There’s definitely a limit but it will be ours
It’s mostly when they break the illusion of being “fair” like in the whole foods example or when someone price gouges during a natural disaster and enough people draw attention to it.
Kind of like with other injustices, the system will only make a token adjustment on the release valve when the pressure builds high enough.
Yeah, agreed. There’s still a long way to go before we hit that hypothetical moment when we cannot take anymore. Thing is i just don’t see the folks in charge not dragging us to that future.
I’m just using my personal observations to bolster this feeling but roll with me a minute take a look at cereal boxes for example. They’re constantly morphing in size, shape, and price to find that sweet spot of how much we can take, but what they apparently cannot do is reduce “growth”. They also can’t seem to allow the rate of shrinkflation to slow down to where it’s unnoticeable, the rate ‘sustainable’.
They’ve already decided this is the line. We aren’t getting raises, we aren’t getting healthcare, we aren’t getting food, we aren’t getting anything from them unless we take it by means outside electoralism, and with a stance that firm and no release valve comin’ from them they’re creating a future where we’ll have to.
Even if we only end up getting a release valve like The New Deal it’ll come from all of us seeing the system is unbeatable from within, taking direct action and the power of our labor into our own hands… and i think (hope) that this hard-line stance they’re taking will force a majority to understand what only a small portion do currently.
