Hong Kong's subway system offers fare discounts if you use the entrances/exits that require you to walk through a mall, as part of their monetisation of spaces required to access public services

Capitalists will say that it's fine for an economy to have a few capitalists own all capital and all physical and intellectual property while common people are only allowed to rent it from the capitalists at whatever rate the capitalist pleases. However, capitalists will also say that the evil of socialism is that you won't be allowed to own property. That's the most capitalist thing I'm aware of.

I see a private ambulance service driving around my town occasionally and it always makes my skin crawl

suppressing wages and social housing so that starvation and homelessness make labour cheaper

Today I heard Meta has laid off workers because they brought their own food for lunch instead of buying it from the company cafeteria.

A more recent example comes from the med-tech giant Abbott Labs, which used DMCA 1201 to suppress a tool that allowed people with diabetes to link their glucose monitors to their insulin pumps, in order to automatically calculate and administer doses of insulin in an "artificial pancreas." -eff.org

We joke about someday having to jailbreak our own organs, but we're basically already there.

Doctors Remove Woman’s Brain Implant Against Her Will

Here in Sweden we currently have the problem that hospitals are understaffed and keeping wages of nurses so low that a lot of nurses quit and leave the others with an even crazier workload so the hospitals buy nurses semi permanently from temp agencies that cost multiple times more and the rental nurses have better pay and agreements of overtime and such. We had a well functioning health care but then the privatisation of everything and selling out communally owned services to private profit making schemes since the 90s. Because our government has been dominated by right wing market liberals and "sossehöger" - social democrats that jump on right wing populism to stay in power when they can rather than being consistent in left wing ideals.

Fucking end the market liberal experiment already. "The market solves all problems" - yeah, of it's own interest which is how to squeeze out more profits regardless the how and how low it stoops.

Recently?

How a lawyer in America got jailed for legally fighting against(and defeating) an American multi-national oil company that polluted the Amazon and more importantly harmed the lives and health of the locals with the pollution.

Mandatory "hide the opt-out if there's even an opt-out at all" "AI" trash that is shoved into everything from operating systems to browsers. It's less than useless, outright malicious in both intent and practice in many cases, and dumps more carbon into the air just so the "AI" trash doesn't seem like a sunk cost investment for venture capitalists.

Health Insurance that covers next to nothing but costs a fortune anyway.

The purposeful degradation of repair.

Microloans, also called microfinances. Very popular in developing countries in South Asia, and also the same thing that is responsible for the suicide epidemic of farmers in India. With high interest rates and fixed time-period constraints, they're the most cruel and fucked up things to ever exist, they're worse than indentured serfdom.

I cannot find the exact quote but it was something like "If you don't grow, you're dying". This is the source of all enshittification. Companies are being forced by VCs to increase revenue every year to meet unreasonable revenue goals just to satisfy a handful of investors.

My boss once said to a group of new joinees including me," Eventually you will be able to afford subscription to all the streaming services."

“Vote with your wallet” means more money gets you more votes.

Some users leaving Reddit/instagram/twitter is not a problem, especially considering network effects, but some advertisers leaving is a crisis.

That person who was in a car that ended up crossing three lanes, hitting a pole and then hitting a tree. They declined an ambulance because they were scared of the ambulance bill - then got a bill for $150 for refusing the ambulance. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I once read that there are some states in the U.S. where firefighters don't put out fires in houses that don't pay a monthly subscription.

Some random company that sells fruits overthrowing another country's government; it's so ludicrous I'd say it's too silly to be the plot of a serious movie and like no no, actually this ludicrous story is actually real.
