We are not paying the full cost and I think we need to learn to - because the tab has been open for a really long time and the day to settle it is fast approaching. If we don’t voluntarily solve this mess, it will get solved against our will - and again the least powerful will be the ones to pay the lion’s share.

inariedwards said: @theseriouscynic @rustingbridges For me the key question is “if I’m not paying for these things, then who is?” aka at whose expense are you getting these convenient things? We know at Amazon it is at the workers’ expense, with a lot of cheap products it is the underpaid sweatshop labourers in Asia who are paying for it in too low wages and inhumane conditions, in a lot of cases its the environment that pays for it in pollution, etc…
