An under-examined cause of inflation: unconditional returns
An under-examined cause of inflation: unconditional returns
It turns out that accommodating spoiled aristocrats who order shit they don't need from halfway across the Earth on a whim has a cost, and let me tell you: that cost isn't coming out of the executives' salaries!
Every time you return something, you are adding data to a spreadsheet that returns the value of "fuck you."
You're viewing a single thread.
If free returns ended today there would be zero impact on prices. Come on.
Unconditional returns, sure, but it's the bourgeoisie expecting unconditional returns from their investments.
That’s what I thought this was going to be about: unconditional profits
There would definitely be a change in prices lol. They track all of this to the cent. Just because there's price gouging doesn't mean the cost of goods is completely unrelated to operating costs.
You're right, the Capitalists should give up their wealth and their parasitic need for returns.
They won't.
Since that's the reality we inhabit, every time you make a return, you're jacking up the prices of your future purchases.
They will always charge the maximum amount that they can! The only limit is our ability to pay and our ability to buy somewhere else.
That's it.
You're jacking up the prices by making purchases in the first place. Or rather, they're jacking up prices because they know you'll pay it - let's be sure to put the blame squarely where it belongs! The blame is always on the ones setting the prices.

That's exactly what it means lol.
