    That’s where you’re wrong. It’s the frog in hot water thing that’s happening, prices artificially increase to feed the leeches progressively enough that people just accept it.

    You’re a victim here and you’re defending it, it’s disgusting.

        It’s the same thing with everything that you purchase! 3$ for celery, the CEO is a billionaire the employees make minimum wage? How much do you think that celery cost???

          We’re not talking about celery, we’re talking about a Gucci bag that no one needs. Food, water, and healthcare should be free.

            Well it’s fucking not and it’s more expensive than it needs to be because of billionaires.

            Just

            Like

            Everything

            Else

            But people pay for it so by your logic then the price is fair, right? Unless all of the sudden you decide to go back on your argument, but you wouldn’t do that, right?

            Let me quote you before you say “but it’s essential needs”

            “even a single potato chip”

            There, your said so, even for food, whatever people pay is a fair price in your mind.

              lmao i knew you were going to bring up the potato chip with my last comment and you’re right I used a poor example when I said potato chip, since it’s technically a food item. I’ll leave it as it is, but think of it more like like a “rock” or “bag of dung” or something and my point stands. I was literally just eating potato chips when I wrote that so it seemed convenient, and I don’t really view potato chips as “food” in the same sense I would something like celery, but I see your point and admit I contradicted myself there.

              As for this part:

              Well it’s fucking not and it’s more expensive than it needs to be because of billionaires.

              We agree.
