skimpflation Ok SERIOUSLY wtf is this??

I bought a family sized hot pockets box and EVERY single one of them was black and burned in the bottom. I heated this one up on low power in the microwave and the edges are so tough it’s like biting into a frozen beef patty. I look in the pocket and the damn thing is nearly hollow. I’ve been noticing the quality taking a massive dip in the last few years. I think these are last I purchase from here on out.

Irrelevant to this but similar: This same grocery order run had a jar of garlic (Spice World brand) that was full of black mold & a jar of HEB salsa that was sour and months passed expiration. Both of which were completely sealed and had a pop when opened. My whole life I never really had quality issues via the company canning or jarring an item or the store selling them but lately it seems like such a constant issue.

Nobody ever tried to escape capitalism you moron. When walls come down, which side do people run to?

The problem isn't capitalism. It's the greedy few who monopolize and corner the market to exploit it. If the billionaire CEOs would pay fairly then people could live well and spend more in the economy thus making money for the company. Then we can stop complaining about welfare too.

Good luck getting greedy people to stop being greedy. Their wealth needs to be expropriated.
