Someone with a 200gb Excel file plays with the variables until they can show short term profit and that just outputs into weird quantities.
Pretty much. Imagine trying to make some bread, reading a recipe and being like "you need 500g of flour".
“We’re weaning you off of your addiction to our products”
Pay German prices for food with American quality control, on Turkish wages while working your ass off for the profits of your boss because low wages and high exploitation rates are said to be necessary to keep up in the great capitalist race to constantly grow and grow faster than in other countries.
It's probably true.
Don't worry, the market will allocate resources well. Such as to the 500th logistics company serving Western european countries where locals mostly don't touch prole jobs, to building a new American style suburb in places where the only infrastructure is a roadside shrine, to start selling you shitty goods that make you addicted and Ill and to develop Poland to the point where it can start exploiting Ukrainians, Belarusians, Lithuanians, global southerners, etc. instead of locals... just like western countries did 50+ years before!
I fucking hate capital
This is an accurate description of processes in Poland. I fucking hate it too.
Capitalism breeds innovation to con you out of all your cash in more effective ways.
