Now corporations start with that bulshit of "oh, that model wasn't sustainable actually" even though it worked perfectly fine for the last decade and they still get record profits year after year. They keep ripping everything from under us, this gotta stop.
It's not enough to make money, they have to make all the money. They have a requirement for perpetual growth.
Yes, which is impossible in a world with finite resources. Utter madness.
Attempting to squeeze more money out of everything is only making the world worse. Everything is disposable, service-bound and overmonetized, and they keep pushing more and more ads and psychological trickery at us to try to sell it.
