Imagine waking up each day looking like a big pile of shit but you can't wash it off your skin. That is your life. You probably smell like shit as well which is typical of your trash people.

Out of all the candy bars available snickers is actually pretty based. If you enter the woods and find snickers wrappers stuffed inside an empty cigarette pack you are already dead

This. It's the only logical answer. Capitalism exists to extract maximum profit at any costs. If they could legally get away with it, tthey'd feed you saw dust covered in a thin trickle of some cancer causing chocolate tasting synthetic solution and charge you $100 per bite.

Who gives a shit, if you're buying products like this you deserve to get scalped.

Wage job opposed to what other job?

Meant to type wagie, indicating just how completely shit-tier it is.

Name another way to create wealth than using capital.
You sound like a retard.
Bad people is what you have a problem with.
Saying "capitalist" lumps in literal waitresses with large tiddies with Bill Gates.

>>55946359
Name another way to produce wealth without using capital.
I'll wait.
Blithering retards.

>>55945544
It's the logical conclusion of fiat money.

>>55945461
worse than shrinking sizes is the increased nonsense fill
you end up eating less and less actual food because it's cheaper for them to give you plastic and sawdust than real food

>>55945916
The fact that you use this as an insult speaks volumes

They should make sharing bags of chocolate illegal and shrink chocolate bars even more so that it never exceeds 200 calories

People buy sharing bags to eat themselves and rarely actually share

Do the official inflation numbers take shrinkflation into account? Like the Snickers bar weighing less? Or canned goods with changes to their nutritional composition?
>$1.00 to $1.25, 25% inflation
versus
>$1.00 for 50g, $20/kg
>$1.25 for 44g, $28.41/kg
>42% inflation

Your insult is that his grandchildren will have the same skin color as yours? Have you thought that through?

It's not that capital is bad, It's the way capital is controlled and distributed.
Marx believed that Revolution was both fundamentally essential and inevitable to the progress of human society. He anticipated that eventually the workers of the world would realize they ‘have nothing to lose but their chains’ and revolt against the industrialists and capitalists who covertly controlled their lives. Capitalism creates the conditions for revolution, conditions which include (among other things) exploitation of the proletariat.

>>55948188
It's a good question I want to know also

>>55948307
'When Marx affirms that humanity only sets itself problems that it can solve, he is simultaneously demonstrating that the germ of the solution of the revolutionary problem is to be found, in principle, in the capitalist system itself.
THEREFORE he recommends tolerating the bourgeios State, and even helping to build it, rather than returning to a less industrialised form of production'.

>>55948307
'It is not in the nature of economics, according to Marx, to make leaps in the dark and it MUST NOT be encouraged to gallop ahead.
It is completely false to say that the socialist reformers remained faithful to Marx on this point.
On the contrary, fatalism excludes all reforms, in that there would be a risk of mitigating the catastrophic aspect of the outcome. The logic of such an attitude leads to the approval of everything that tends to increase working-class poverty.
The worker must be given nothing so that one day can have everything'.

'Prophecy [communism] functions on a very long-term basis and has, as one of its properties, a characteristic which is the very source of strength of all religions: the impossibility of proof'.

'We can admit that economic determination plays a highly important role in the genesis of human thoughts and actions without draw-ing the conclusions, as Marx does, that the German rebellion against Napoleon is explain'd only by the lack of sugar and coffee'.

>>55948674
noice lad, share a tin with ya any day m8 cheers fella

hot take, shrinkflation has some positives because many eating disorders are from the psychology of eating another chocolate bar, not of eating exactly 50g of chocolate bar. so that shit makes you at least a little healthier

>>55948700
obese people just buy more

>>55945461

>>55945461
Because no matter how many times retards say "muh capitalism" and "muh greedflation," the money supply is irrevocably fucked now. It's not a feature of capitalism, it's a feature of fiat
>>55946359
>tthey'd feed you saw dust covered in a thin trickle of some cancer causing chocolate tasting synthetic solution and charge you $100 per bite.
I know anti-capitalists are retards but literally the reason why food purity laws were enacted isn't because people were being malnourished and poisoned, it's because angry mobs kept killing millers that mixed sawdust into flour and butchers that sold rotten meat, and that was a problem for the government's monopoly on violence.

Look up how millers and bakers were treated in medieval and even mercantile-capitalist societies. Oh but you won't, because if you don't stay purposefully ignorant your views might change.

Bidenomics.

Gotta send some more billions to the Ukraine, kid

>>55945461
they should just inflate the price and keep the size the same to offset the fixed costs associated with manufacturing the product. shrinkflation is extremely jewish.

>>55948633
Unreal, makes my blood boil

>>55945461
You can't have infinite on a finite planet, so they skimp you to keep that growth going at all costs.

>>55948633
Imagine what will happen when we hit terminal shrinkflation and they can't realistically shrink products anymore. I'm going to assume the quality of all products will degrade and we will be eating gruel and revert to like 1990's tier consumer electronics. Eventually the shelves will just be empty.

>>55945473
Shrinkflation applies to every product you retard simp for mega corps

>>55945461
>Why is shrinkflation allowed?
muh free market!
gubment bad!
muh shareholders!

>>55945473
At the supermarket here they did shrink-skimpflation, replaced 310g frozen basa fillets with 250g of another cheaper fish, and the price is exactly the same.
Mad as hell

>>55945473

chocolate itself doesn't make you fat.

beef, potatoes, corn and bread will however will

you can easily avoid this by just filtering your own water and recycling but that's too much work for you big boy

>>55945461
i bought a tastey organic watermelon and its the same size from 100 years ago

>>55948732
The boxes of cereal and bags of chips being, without exaggeration, half air is legitimately false advertising and pragmatically bad environmental and logistical waste. Not that goyslop isn’t already a problem by itself but corn and dot subsidies are a separate issue.

>>55953890
The air is so the stuff inside doesn't get smacked into crumbs, numbnuts.
It's not false advertising because air doesn't weigh anything in the 100g of chips you've bought.

How you managed to even turn on a computer is amazing.

>Government literally working hand in hand with central banks to transfer trillions of dollars of wealth
>free market
lol. LMAO even

>>55945473
thats not chocolate, thats sugar sprinkled with some cocoa dust powder and some peanuts. real chocolate is a gift from gods

Having the government micromanage what the "correct" size for all the assorted consumable products that are out there would be an annoying bureaucratic mess. Plus it would stifle the creation of new sorts of products, if you had to get a government group to sign off on what the "correct" size should be before it is sold.

Products are already required to list the actual measurements (usually weight for food, of course some stuff is sold by volume or other measurements) of the product, so people already have an objective measure to see how much they are getting. That is much simpler and cheaper to enforce.

Of course, the real solution is to fix inflation itself, and not have central banks that can magic money into existence. With a stable currency manufactures would find it cheaper to keep their products the same, unless genuine market changes impacted a product.

>>55945473
Very good case for people trying to doom post about inflation.

Almost all the goods going through shrinkflation are non-essential junk. Things like a snickers bar won't sustain the humon body the same way protein and bread would.

If anything. Be a smarter consumer, stop buying shit you don't need, start living life like a miser and wait for the crash.

Save and don't spend. Treat the inflation like a recession, and treat the recession like it's inflation.

>>55945461
Theyre already starting to price food by the gram, like buying some food has turned into a drug deal.
