The world's richest one percent increased their fortunes by a total of $42 trillion over the past decade, Oxfam said Thursday, ahead of a G20 summit in Brazil where taxing the super-rich tops the agenda.
The reason billionaires exist is because people like you and me are overcharged for everything we purchase so they can accumulate the surplus.
The reason why we don’t do anything about it is because we evaluate that we get good value for our money in most situations.
What is that evaluation based on? Our past experiences…
But the only experiences we have to evaluate what our money is worth is us being charged enough that the rich people at the top accumulate an unreasonable amount of wealth.
We never have an experience where those leeches at the top aren’t present to artificially inflate the price of things so we can actually realize how much we’re supposed to be able to get for our money!
It’s literally the same drop shipped stuff on temu. You can order from “local warehouses” and it’s literally the same products. Amazon USES drop shipping. They don’t own it.
6 for 75ct. Eurocent, so in USD it’s a whopping 81ct. Tax inclusive. Available in both scratchy and gentle.
If supermarkets get away with charging those kinds of prices there’s two things to do: a) Raid each and every HQ to see whether you can nail them for collusion, b) price controls.

Temu opened my eyes.
8$ for 4 sponges at Target, no more for me.
I’ve tried Temu a few times. The quality is such garbage even calling it Chinese crap doesn’t do it justice. It’s basically from doorstep to landfill.
Yeah I didn’t think Chinese knockoffs could get any worse.
Many products on there basically copy photos of a product and replicate how it looks with the cheapest materials possible.
I got a few good deals but understand it’s NOT going to be high quality tier stuff
So I buy things I’m willing to just toss if it’s no good. I do a refund and they’ll tell me to keep it. Then it goes into the trash.
