I couldn't have said it better myself, Frank. The Romans kept control with bread and circuses. All we get now is the circus 🎪.

I get sucked off by qubits, thank you. Ones and zeroes? You are living in the dark ages. Probably still watching porn on VHS tapes.

It's a quantum world we are living in, step it up.

I am a shameless capitalist. But this isn't about capitalism really, it's about evil people ..evil people much further up the food chain than the one's heading these corporate entities actually. You got a good heart FTB. It comes thru loud n clear in pieces like this one.

Worse in NZ where a duopoly exists to two AUSTRALIAN owned corps...same fuckers as Aus. There is a very small NZ owned chain called 4 Square...but it's no more than a glorified dairy with exorbitant prices.

Yes there is corporate greed and he who controls the food, controls the world.

I went to buy pork ribs and the price had increased $4 a kilo over the week before.

I lost my shit & started yelling at the butcher. WTF is this are fkn pork ribs now a commodity? Do you trade on the the butchers stock exchange? Has the price gone up at the auction house on a fucking hog?

Gurrrrrrrr you mother fuckers are going to get an ass whooping if you keep this shit up! He held his ground and wouldn't drop the price.

Told him to shove them up his ass and started driving around swearing at the other butchers in the next town over.

I finally found ribs in a stinky supermarket with a normal price tag. Not a place I would normally buy my food but hey Xs are tough and $ is tight.
