    Luckily, at least for now, most people can sail the high seas, or hit the secondary market, or cook the things they want in order to avoid the price gouging and enshittification. You can get ten frozen burger patties at the grocery store fairly economically in most of the country and then spice and cook them up yourself.

    When Trump is reelected in November I expect it to get much worse and very fast.

      most people can (…) cook the things they want

      That’s far from true. Millions live in food deserts and the working poor often don’t have the money and/or energy for it after working extreme hours for atrociously low wages.

      And that’s not even taking into account those of us who are unable to cook even simple dishes for ourselves due to disability.

      When Trump is reelected in November I expect it to get much worse and very fast.

      That’s probably true of literally everything…
