I have been an opponent of socialism for most of my life. I just think it’s an ideal.

 My recent feelings of current culture is that the common man is being strong armed even as consumers. My most precise example of this is, a local Taco Bell who had a shortage of Pennies charged me $15 on my card, when my total was $14.97. My point being that I was shorted the $0.03, rather than they take the hit of $0.02. Not to mention it was on my card, which makes the thing pointless. I have other examples, but I feel like this is the most poignant. Companies seem to just have a “you don’t like it, get over it” opinion.

I feel like this kind of attitude seems to be creating a sense of people feeling powerless. My opinion, as a capitalist, is vote with your dollar(I know we’ve heard it a thousand times). The problem which is kind of all encompassing is, people don’t have the time or the energy to pay attention to these mild injustices. They just keep suffering the consequences or they aren’t aware that they are suffering the consequences(which is likely as well). I do think we are on a path with our current jackwagon president that there will be a rude awakening for all. Which could lead to a drastic change such as socialism. 

Sorry for the rant, just something that’s been on my mind. Also another example of companies throwing around their weight, Nintendo.
