You say that like it’s an option chosen by idiots, but we literally must consume, as in people have to fucking eat, and we don’t have the option to just nope out of capitalism and grow your own food on your own land unless you have a stupid amount of capital.
Only my experience, but I’ve worked both as a teller and as back office in financial institutions for over a decade. Out of all of the people who were chronically overdrawing their accounts, I honestly can’t remember a single one who was doing so off of buying essentials, it was always frivolous luxuries.
Hell, over the years I’ve even heard a coworker talk about how they have no money until their next paycheck at the end of that week, and then later that same day, talk about what designer sneakers they want to buy when they get their tax return.
There are definitely people who struggle to make ends meet, but the fact is, the majority of the times ends aren’t met, it’s deliberate. People in the US are more likely to have a problem with overspending than underearning, on average.
Junk fees have been lurking for years but post covid, they took a life of their own…
The sad reality most plebs just accept it because they must consoom🤡

Most of my exposure to junk fees have been at restaurants which can be avoided followed by some forced bulls shit service which can’t be avoided.
Point being there still places don’t try this shit, they should be rewarded for it.
If you are paying fees on discretionary consumption, you are the problem.
That’s one example practical example of how inflation works.
Gorcery stores don’t have fees or haven’t seen them do it yet at least.
Maybe don’t condescendingly blame people living under capitalism for the cruelty inflicted by the ownership class, you fucking pleb.
Y’all so easily give agency to fight. Day in, day out same limp dick retorts about how you cant be bothered to make better consumption choices.
Got forbid you are old to take action and fight the regime
Ohh well keep consuming, boy, I am sorry you can’t be bothered to take any direct action to hurt the parasite class profit.
Refer to my previous comment.
Comment is non sequitur
Now get back to paying junk fees, daddy counts on you being complacent 🤡
All sound and fury, signifying nothing.
The term is direct action but clearly many people around here get triggered by the idea of taking it

I am sure your government will save you tho
