To me, the most frustrating thing about capitalism is not that it exploits everything and commodifies everything and then, ultimately, turns all those things into trash.
The most frustrating thing about capitalism is that it has created such intellectual decay among most humans, that it is deemed as normal to accept that if something cannot be solved by the market, then it cannot be solved at all.
BrewDog's decision to withdraw the real Living Wage for bar workers during the most acute cost of living crisis in a generation is outrageous.

It's interesting times time again
I had the Substack app on my phone and took it off because I didn't like waking up to misery, and the Notes section was abused by people commenting on popular posts they obviously hadn't read but they wanted you to read theirs, and nuts to that kind of selfish crap. Blocking people didn't seem to stop them posting at you and being annoying, either.

Also quite pissed off at rumours that Corby is going to found party at the 11th hour and split the progressive vote, probably sabotage the Greens. Always said he was a lightning rod.
