They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

    Then think about all the shit we buy. How much of it do we really need? How much of it ends up in the landfill in a year or two?

    I worked in logistics for a few years running trucks out of the DRC mainly moving copper cathode and cobalt. When visiting those mines the conditions were horrific from a human and environmental perspective. It really changed how I consume.

    Not to mention anything using tantalum capacitors are effectively funding war crimes currently being perpetrated in the DRC.

    All of that human life, and the destruction of our plant just to fill a landfill.
