Late Stage Capitalism
A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

My concern isn't that the price of an item will go up between my grabbing it and checking out, my concern is that they'll update the price before I ever see it, and I'll pay 50 cents more for this box of graham crackers than everyone else. After all, Walmart knows that I buy graham crackers every time I go there, and they know that I've put up with price increases in the past. They know who and where I am from the moment I enter the store to the moment I leave.
There is nothing stopping them from bumping up the price of those graham crackers while nobody is in the aisle. I grab them while they say $8.59, and I pay $8.59 at the register. Someone else who tends to buy them when they're on sale grabs them while they say $7.59, and we pay different amounts at the same time, because Walmart also knows what register I'm using and which list of prices to charge me.
Yeah your right which means I need to avoid Walmart altogether. Or fuck up the algorithm by never buying same things when I shop.
