That is how these sort of things go in the end eventually. Eventually society will devolve and we will burn the corporate bastards to the ground. But unless things get bad quick we're still a few years away from that. .......I hope

I mean I really don't want to eat the rich, but if I have to I fucking will. Niceties are for when everyone is good to each other. And if I'm starving then your little fucking gated community won't stop me or the other billions.

Edit: not the parent poster, but "them" are on the menu.

If only some nice lady politician promised to go after them for price gouging.

That would be nice to elect her. She'd sure have MY vote, as someone who cares about high prices...

We already saw it with COVID. I see tons of goods that are still at their inflated price.

... except the lockdowns ended years ago.
