In our capitalist utopia, we pay dearly for very little.

My favorite example is yogurt. You used to be able to buy an 8 ounce cup of yogurt - that was the standard back in the seventies and early eighties.

Now you pay over twice as much for 5.3 ounces.

The Brits call this 'shrinkflation.'

I call it 'shareholder primacy' capitalism.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
