We currently have more than enough production and “wealth” for the entire planet to be a “post scarcity society”. The only problem that remains is that we don’t treat the people that hoard wealth the same way we treat the people that hoard cats or newspaper.

it will be free as in “free”

There’s a good show called upload about this

This is what the meme is referring to I believe. Over a year ago this happened.

Reminds me of the hamburger guy from the old popeye cartoons.

“I’ll gladly pay you next Thursday for a hamburger today”

This is what the meme is referencing I believe.

Don’t know what the surprise is now in my country we have local financing for rent in quotes! Can’t pay your rent? Don’t worry, get more debt!

Or EverQuest II and the good old /pizza command.

It is expensive if you do not use the coupons that are available 100% of the time. With coupons you can get 3 pizzas for like $20. Otherwise it is like $25 for one crappy pizza.

Chances are everyone has a local pizza place that does better and cheaper pizza than Dominos.

Just brand recognition and the fact that you know what you’re getting, I suppose. Plus they’ve always got offers on to reduce the frankly eye-watering default prices.

Costco pizza is great for the price (like £7.99 for an 18" pizza), but they only do three varieties and one of them is just cheese. We’re not Kevin from Home Alone. And just getting one is an arduous trek.

Like with most big chains, the appeal is not so much quality but consistency. You know no matter where you are when you order a domino’s pizza you’ll get the same thing you would at your local one.

Also I’ve heard domino’s is worse in the US than other places.
