I really can't help but notice all of this consumer/corporate bullshit going on; where corporations are giving you less and charging you the same amount of money, if not more. Yeah, it's not exactly something new, but it bothers me. I'm sure most people have noticed the Coca Cola downsize, where they no longer make a 2-liter bottle, instead it's a 1.5-liter bottle, but they charge you the same amount as the 2-liter. What kind of shit is that? I'll tell you what kind of shit that is; that's straight up HORSE shit, with those little, hard nuggets that made the horse uncomfortable and writhe a little bit as he shat it out. McDonalds decided to get into the action, too, probably because they are part of Coca-Cola Corp. Have you noticed their fry size? They've completely gotten rid of super-size, and replaced the super-size with what was the large fries, but they charge you for the super-sized still, and all you're getting is the large size. The dollar fries used to come in what is now the medium sized, except a tad bit smaller. Now the dollar fries come in the kids meal paper bag fry holder. You could bring up the point that it's only a dollar, but that's not MY point. My point is they're trying to be sneaky cockholes about it. I wouldn't mind, but don't charge me the same amount for less product. If you lower the amount, that's fine, CHARGE ME LESS, not the same amount. As if these places don't make enough revenue and profit. Isn't it McDonalds who blatantly boasts about 1 billion customers having been served? Well, congratulations, LOWER YOUR FUCKING PRICES -- they can obviously afford it, as your piece of shit sign so clearly and pridefully displays. This world makes it impossible for your average person to get ahead, and it starts at minor levels such as this, until it eventually snowballs into major inflation and obscenely high interest rates. But don't worry, we've been given the idea that we have the right to vote to put officials into office and have freedom of speech, but only if we speak about things that are allowed to be spoken about, else we get sensored or edited. I'd say it's a fair trade-off, right? What a deal! God bless America... ::projectile vomit::
