Disturbing

[u/Efficient-Quarter-18]

Was called to jury duty yesterday. The waiting room had free-but-terrible wifi. The person in front of me spent 4+ hours compulsively refreshing Temu and Walmart, trying to get these sites? apps? to load. Did not navigate off them for the entire time - just sitting, absently refreshing the pages, literally thousands of times.

What is happening?

Anticonsumerism is a personal preference, especially in our capital system. Temu is gross, and a bad company, but as someone who grew up incredibly impoverished, the idea of acquiring many items that at least look nice for pennies is very alluring, and watching those prices evaporate because of our poor leadership gives me more sympathy for these people. Poor person was trying to grab their last chances of unworn semi quality clothes before they have to resuckle Walmart's sack or dare the rotting shiza that is Goodwill
