I have been trying not be, oh-so-angry, when I write here. I'll try not to be, but this, this story, got me not so happy. So if you are used to the usual, happy stuff, you can stop reading.
The Competition Commission has fined Tiger Brands R98.7 million for anti-competitive practice with regard to bread overpricing. - sabcnews
Here are a few ground rules.
- Don't ever, ever tell me about making money.
- I don't give a rats ass how much money there is to make
- Like dilated peoples - worst comes to worst my people come first.
- I'd rather die/starve, than exploit another person
- Humanity comes first
Capitalism cannot and I stress this, cannot be it, eventually, it will fail. Why?
because capitalism, taps into our being, our ego, our inherent behaviour to be selfish, thinking just about our selves and nobody else.
The state of the world is not the state of the world where we can exist in isolation, we are all inherently reliant on each other.
If you think, I am just talking out my arse. Let me bring you a topic that's on the news everyday.
Global warming.
The biggest polluters are the developed (global capitalist) countries (and now counting China), why are they calling it 'Global'? You do know trying not to pollute is not very profitable.
Capitalism is not about making money whilst doing good, it's about making as much money as you can, regardless of the consequences.
But, the bread price fixing is in my books the worst thing, ever, ever, ever, ever, because it affects the poor and not only the poor, but those living below that poverty line.
I also read that more and more South Africans are living from less than a dollar a day. Do the maths, how many can afford a loaf of bread today?
Aluta, continua.
