Not reasonable, perhaps, but theoretically understandable. The escalating price of just about everything implies an increase in value that, in most cases, is not delivered. So some folks simply create their own perks — giving vent to rage or breaking traditional rules of social conduct (i.e., doing whatever the hell they want.)
If you feel you are paying VIP prices, you may well expect to be treated like a VIP.
Americans have forgotten how to misbehave, frankly. It’s always stupid bullshit like asking a target employee why they’re gay, and never anything cool like flipping over cop cars.
Ok so we’re gonna talk about the effects that the alienating logic of capitalism imposes on us instead right???
Decades of promoting anti-social behavior and packaging it as freedom has consequences. Shocking.
We’re still not talking about brain damage from COVID huh?
I’m still pretty sure that’s from the mass layoffs. The mask off death cult shit didn’t kick in until after April or so. Media was still pushing a “flatten the curve” narrative until then.
does this mean more people are disabled or more disabled people are being forced into work?
I’m afraid i don’t know. I’m still trying to figure out how the data is collected. I imagine it’s a combo of both, but distributed unevenly. I’d love to sit down with some of the data available and build a dashboard annotated with the dates precautions were rolled back in what area and whatnot. Just don’t have the time and money nowadays.
wow, it’s almost like people start behaving more socially irresponsibly in a society where the base and superstructure heighten their social irresponsiblity
