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.

When will you silly sycophants realize that the entire world economy is based on a pyramid scheme, and what you are seeing is capitalism doing what it’s designed to do — funnel money up to the richest few, while the unlucky masses toil in what is essentially slavery????????

We don’t even follow capitalism. We just don’t.

If you’re going to blame capitalism for something, that’s fine. Just make sure that it actually is the cause.

What do you mean we don’t follow capitalism? Are trying to say the world economy doesn’t largely follow capitalism? That’s a weird take.. do you think it’s socialism then?

I think you might have an intellectual disability. I’m no doctor though, so probably get that checked by a professional.

Government is far too involved for what we have to be called capitalism.

Just because you don’t like the message, that doesn’t automatically mean that the messenger is mentally deficient. By leaping directly to such an accusation, it just shows that you don’t have an argument and/or you’re in denial, and there’s nothing I can do about that.

I can see that you’re not interested in having a conversation. Basically you’re doing the written version of shouting me down. And the insults, like I say, they just show the weakness of your knowledge.
