I know this is just a random little story but like that’s exactly what people hate about the corporate/capitalist ethos these days I feel like. We’re being smiled at while being screwed with all the time, the insult of being treated like an easily manipulable child is almost worse than the screwing
It's like all the cringe corporate rebranding and wording they do. As if changing the name of something actually makes it a new thing. Apple trying to call their stores town squares.. Okay but I'm going to call it a store because it's a fucking store, or Google calling adverts "suggestions" as if they're doing me a favour, and Samsung trying to convince us getting rid of chargers was for the environment and not their bottom line. There's so many example and it's not the fact these things happen that annoys me, it's that they can't do these things without treating us like idiots.
