Late Stage Capitalism

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

They will just delay any increase at the register for twice the average loiter time of a shopper as no one is going to complain about a discount. Any decrease would happen immediately. If that runs afoul of any laws they will just do it daily after close.

In Canada we have had these for a while. In some stores you can even trigger an LED on the price tag from the app to help find an item apparently.

While this does seem like it sucks the horse has been out of the barn for some time. You can see it on Amazon or airline sites.

Just another way to squeeze us just a little more.

It doesn't seem like it sucks, it objectively fucking sucks and should be illegal.
