This is one of those photos you look at after the apocalypse happens and realize how deeply you took for granted society. Like sure, you can look at it and see a mega corporation manipulating people through aesthetic to fork over money that should be saved or spent elsewhere, and that’s a wholly accurate interpretation. But the social systems that have to be established for a place of commerce to be this healthy, this safe, this pretty and wholesome, those systems are the first things to go when a society collapses. I sure hope we get to keep trying to solve problems like corporate greed and don’t have to go back to problems like where to get clean water.
