Hahaha i read the 102 current comments and basically 90% of those that name the absurdity is just "capitalism" or its consequences.
Unfortunately, a lot of people don't think about the root causes of these problems. So there's a lot of focus on the symptoms without thinking about the underlying dynamics of capitalism that cause these issues.
