    It’s hard to pick just one because, duh, capitalism is inherently a scam.

    But if I were to pick just one, it’d have to be the airlines. They’re beyond necessary yet every year they pull some insane shit and no one bats an eye. And no matter what they’re always crying poor and merging merging merging. Can’t you see, they have to - they have no choice.

    First the food costs extra. Then the drinks. Then the bags you check in. Then they charge you to sit in the exit aisle because you get an extra 3 inches. They literally say now it’s “impossible” to book two tickets seated together unless you pay an extra fee. Impossible, you say? How the fuck were you able to do it for so long up until 2022???
