Shrinkflation explained by a company that does it:
"products may change due to changing customer preferences."
Of course, my preference is to get 17% less for the same price. 🤦♀️

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”
reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

As our federal government increasingly emulates (expressly & implicitly) aspects of the Nazi fascist regime, I remind you that the Star Trek Original Series episode "Patterns of Force" anticipated this approach. Worth a rewatch
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern...
Captain Kirk and Spock in the Star Trek episode "Patterns of Force." Kirk is wearing an SS officer's uniform with the totenkopf on the hat. Spock is also wearing an SS uniform but with a parade helmet that has a swastika on it.
"nobody knows what a totenkopf is, who's ever seen one, it's just a skull and crossbones variation, this is arcane knowledge that a regular person wouldn't -- " no yeah no shut the fuck up
22.10.2025 15:57 — 👍 11 🔁 1 💬 2 📌 0Star Trek's Patterns of Force depicted a Star Ship captain who used Nazi Germany as a model for rapid economic development on an alien planet.
He was incapacitated and used as a puppet by an odious and evil subordinate who pretended the orders were coming from him.
Sound familiar?
Nature is healing when one MCU movie after another can’t get any traction while every month or two some Japanese anime I have never heard of called “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle” makes a fortune. This is how it should be
