I found someone selling a handmade cedar canoe for $600. The deal was too good to pass up.
The majority of USA households did something similar because they
just bought part of a $400,000,000 yacht without knowing it! Apparently it
was not big enough for the helipad and other features so it came with a mini-yacht.
This yacht is equivalent to my canoe relative to the new owner's and my net worth.
You'll never board it even though it never would have been purchased without your undying loyalty.
It needed a bunch of puppets to fund it and you happily complied
(amazero rarely has the lowest price so its success is not due to
educated, intelligent buyers, rest assured).
You also bought this person countless houses, cars, vacations, trips to outer space,
you name it.
Look at all the toys you bought for Mark Fuckerberg.
How many luxurious, fully appointed homes will never see your head for a night's rest?
He thanks you, but not really. You are only as good as the selling price
of your personal information; he appreciates people too stupid to protect their privacy.
Look at all the miserable working conditions and
environmental destruction our irresponsible purchases support. No one can plead ignorance in
today's world which means we are making a deliberate choice to inflict suffering on people.
How many habitats have been annihilated for our creature comforts?
Do you even know or care about it?
Everyone says they care but a statistically insignificant number actually do the right thing.
How many local stores could you have supported that would directly
benefit your community? You didn't buy an investment in your cities and towns.
You certainly didn't and haven't been buying protection for the planet, environment, and people.
Free same-day shipping and no-question returns are far more important
than fighting urban blight, climate change, and mega-monopolies.
Silence and complacency have funded the mayhem.
As fun as it might seem to buy whatever, whenever, the best things can't be bought with any amount of money
and every attempt to do so is chasing the dragon.
At what point do people's consciences kick in? If being worth a few billion dollars didn't do it then
how's more going to change things?!
If anything about the
Pandora Papers
is to be believed, you bought a shitload more than you'll ever know.
It's a different set of rules for the rich and you play into their game by being
their mindless, brainwashed minions.
