Capitalism – the great con game wrought by those who rake in billions & billions by claiming they make people’s lives better while the only winners are them 🤑
Well worth reading this piece by Cory Doctorow (npub1fdr…lvhs) on “enshittification” & in particular deep pile of ordure that Amazon has buried us all in 💩
Cory’s thesis is almost entirely vindicated by the pompous & deliberately obfuscational response by Amazon at the end 🙄
