That's why instead of having 1 fully functional shipping services, we have many half assed and inefficient ones.
Fedex Rant
I'm just salty at Fedex for being the worst pakage services and delaying my package 4 times. I paid for 2 day shipping and am now looking at day 5(which I still would have been okay with if it came before the 31st!). What am I going to do with a Halloween costume on Wednesday? I hope all the workers organize and greatly increase their material conditions and the CEOs never see a bonus again.
Anyone have any other stories about the inefficiency of the innovations capitalism breeds to make me feel better?
Innovation is 27 canned soup brands all owned by the same company and the "healthy" or vegan options cost 50-100% more.
Innovation is 15 different brands of phones that all run some half baked glitchy version of Android that loses half its battery charge life after 2 years so you have to buy a new one. But the Google Pixel is now on sale for $899.
Innovation is Voltwagon paying to fudge their emissions test because fuck the planet they got shareholders to please. They could be spending money on clean energy technology instead but yeah...
Innovation is DRM-based streaming services that all have the same slop but Netflix has cool shows they cancel after 2 seasons because altho they are really cool for the niche audience, they didn't bring in a gorbillion viewers.
I'll add more if I think of any.
