We’re so cooked, aren’t we.

does not have any enzymes

Oh really? I assumed it does. So far it’s been alright. Haven’t noticed degradation in performance compared to the Cascades pods recommended by the washing machine. I’ll check the Nellie’s cubes though.

Thanks!

Probably not. If the prices are similar, we change if P&G takes the margin or not. The other option is to buy closer from the source but that’s even more difficult.

Got a box of Nellie’s dishwasher powder.

Pre-ordered. Time to put our money where our mouth is.

I don’t drink tea regularly but I’ll buy co-op tea on purpose. 😄 Where do you buy it from?

Right, cause the US wants to grab it instead and then “invest it.” At this point either the EU takes or the US will.

So one of them can be always fucking blocked.

They knew they could be overlords and were that before The Great Depression too. We are just surpassing the level of wealth inequality that was reached prior to the system collapsing back then. What followed in the 40s and 50s was an abnormal period created by the implementation of a significant number of socialist policies that stemmed the desire for blood by the disposessed masses. These fuckers have been working to dismantle them ever since. If we find a formula that allows for such reforms to stick for longer than several decades, that would be nice. There’s good reason for skepticism though.

Steve still doesn’t quite see that this is the capitalist system working as intended - serving the owner (capitalist) class, but he’s definitely getting radicalized by the current reality of it.

It kinda is, and it kinda isn’t. It’s got US-like federal powers in some respects but it lacks them in others.

That’s just them going back to their historical norms.

This gesture ✊

Yeah. Cause Trump is using tariffs to coerce favourable EU policy for American corporations. Make the regulation changes exclude foreign firms and watch Trump screech about 100% tariffs on EU imports.

What the actual fuck.

It’s still informative. His other stuff is good too.

Given how good American companies are at profit maximization, do we expect American military equipment to be anything but exorbitantly overpriced?

Good vid but he’s falling a bit for the corporate propaganda that costs determine prices and that consumers have real power over price setting. Most firms maximize prices while minimizing costs. Consumers have especially little market power in a consolidated market like home appliances.

It started even before that with the chronic overpromising and underfunding of the effort by both sides of the Atlantic.
