textbook example of enshitification

Textbook example of capitalism

People need to stop fucking acting like enshitification is a separate thing just because it has a catchy name.

Every example of "enahitification" is the normal and inevitable result of our economic system.

It is not some weird fringe aspect we can stop, it is what always happen with unregulated capitalism.

And the reason this is important enough to keep attempting to explain to people who blindly use buzzwords:

We need everyone to understand capitalism isn't going to work

    monopolies are not the only end result of capitalism, they are a common end result but if the barriers to enter the market are low enough and the incumbent corps don't engage in regulatory capture it generally doesn't happen.

    On a long enough timeline it ends with a single company.

    Because of vertical integration and a large company's ability to operate at a loss in a specific slice to drive out any competition so they can raise prices.

    If you have questions I can try to explain further.

    If you're just going to keep saying wrong things, I'm going to quickly get tired of explaining and just leave you to be wrong.

    look at farms and how you can get tomatoes from a large number of suppliers, if the number of suppliers goes down anyone can become a new supplier.

    Not every supplier needs to be competitive on price.

    No...

    More Perfect Union have some good videos on that.

    A small producer can't meet contract requirements for commercial grocery stores and can't just sell tomatoes individually.

    But like I said if you're just going to spout uninformed opinions and hope someone takes pity and attempts to explain it to you, you're gonna have to find someone else, I won't even see any other false statements you make, so there's no way I can point out all the ways you're wrong again.
