Społeczność dla Polskich komunistów i wszystkich zainteresowanych dyskusją o Polsce.
Oprócz już istniejących zasad ogólnostronicowych, są dodatkowe dla tej społeczności:
-
Wiadomości muszą być o Polsce. Wydarzenia z innych państw w języku polskim tutaj nie pasują, i lepszym by było je publikować dla wszystkich w języku angielskim.
-
Udostępniane materiały edukacyjne powinny być w języku Polskim, te w języku angielskim mogą być tutaj wstawiane pod warunkiem że są złączone z Polską.
-
Dyskusja o Polsce w języku angielskim mile widziana, zachęcamy również do pisania postów obu języcznych; po angielsku i po polsku.
-
Zero materiałów ala Gówno X Mówi.
———
A community for Polish communists and everyone interested in discussing about Poland.
Except for existing site wide rules, here are additional to this community:
-
News should be about Poland. Affairs of other countries written in Polish don't fit here, and it would be better to post about them elsewhere for everyone to read in English.
-
Shared education materials should be in Polish, those in English can be posted here as long they relate to Poland.
-
Discussion about Poland in English are welcome, we encourage writing posts in both languages; English and Polish.
-
No materials that can be regarded as Shit X Says.

The ultimate point of capitalism is to receive money for nothing. Shrinkflation is just the natural next step until a final subscription service for a wait-list spot to receive when the next batch of product is released.
Yeah, innovation to rip you off in new and interesting ways
“We’re weaning you off of your addiction to our products”
I've seen the argument made in complete seriousness that it's better for portion control so that people don't overeat, particularly when it comes to fast food portions.
I'd believe it if they lowered the price as well.
Like corporations give a fuck about that. Overeating is more profitable for them, so that's what they'd prefer people do.
Then why is the price going up as well?
So with shrinkflation, what's the long term goal here? I mean, at some point you can't make the product any smaller right? Surely we won't be paying $75 for one microscopic piece of flour.... right...?
They introduce a bigger size later until they phase out the pitifully small one
At some point they reintroduce bigger sizes again while keeping the previous price. They can then go back to decreasing the size of the new big pack that is more expensive than the old big pack.
I refuse to buy from brewers using slim cans. Come at me beer nerds.
Capitalism breeds innovation to con you out of all your cash in more effective ways.
