Capitalist innovation is putting air in food and charging more for it
Why the fuck does every food item have an "air puffed" version now that is also more expensive. THEY'RE CHARGING FOR AIR. They're literally selling air. It's so infuriating. Brings a whole new definition to "inflation."
I won't lie lots of food tastes better air puffed but also it should cost less. It's less food. I hate capitalism
Feel the same way about soda shops. Some of them have literally just a gas station soda fountain and shitty Styrofoam cups, but charge like $8 for a drink. And people fucking order them through door dash so it costs them like $15.
Selling effectively nothing. It's an echo of an economic mechanism, like the fast food business model distilled to its pure essence devoid of any value whatsoever. A person getting paid minimum wage to stand behind a counter and perform a ritual that only resembles the function it used to be.
Like sicker versions of the Potemkin shops Americans believe exist in North Korea.
