    Is t it funny how this seems to be happening in every industry possible? And it’s always reported with sUcH sURpRisE!

    Like, we are being abused by capitalists. It feels good to steal. Because they can’t stop taking more and more from us, squeezing us harder and harder.

    When you present us with ease of use and a reasonable price point, we are happy with the trade. But they need their returns to keep growing, so they keep squeezing us harder. Their investors demand the line go up. So they squeeze us harder. They need to cut costs, so they squeeze us harder.

    It never stops. So we turn to theft. Because they’ve literally left us no choice.
