Spouse and I have been doing I kind of advent little gift exchange to brighten our days. How tiny? Found some mixed flavor Yogi tea on offer. It's not bad, but it's more scent than flavor. Except when I went to check out and checked the bill the sale wasn't applied. For the amount it was too much of a hassle.
I had also found a little EDT perfume on sale with a little gift. Tried it again (the spray) but it made my eyes burn. Odd. After two hours the scent was completely gone. I'm guessing that it has been diluted with carrier alcohol.
Then looked for chocolate. Stunned. Almost everything was the same price, but the packages were much smaller. The same packages that were the same size my entire life had been rolled out for Christmas. SMALLER.
I've noticed this with all sorts of products. This has nothing to do with the current administration, but is happening globally and started twenty years ago. What needs to be preserved is capitalism. It means competition and consumer choice. What were heading into is monopolism. (Now a noun). Capitalism and competition allows people to complain.
I'm going to add more later on this or a separate post. Please watch this: (20 minutes)
