In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product’s and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in general.

Why? Did COVID made this happen? How?

    I looked at some of those, and it’s private citizens suing corporations…
    That’s not the same as the government regulating capitalism.

    This is like saying that Texas doesn’t regulate abortion because it’s just private citizens filing lawsuits. That is bullshit.

    Without the regulations, there would be no legal basis for filing a lawsuit.

      But the government doesn’t regulate capitalism, they are owned by the capitalists. So many laws exist because corporations paid for them to, moreso in recent years but it was still bad 50+ years ago, just look at how successful the tobacco industry is.
