To save money, maybe you should eat the rich.
while blaming higher prices on the recent avian flu outbreak.
Welcome to 2023, when the ills of capitalism have reached such a fever pitch that we are now being encouraged to skip meals while we continue to watch the richest people in the world destroy the planet. Is Rubin’s title clickbait? Sure. But let’s be honest—this is the Wall Street Journal, a division of Dow Jones, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who, with a net worth of, is one of the richest people on earth.
The wealthy have become so incredibly out of touch with what’s happening in the world that they’ve forgotten what Ancient Roman rulers realized so long ago: To keep the proletariat docile and subservient, you must give them bread and circuses. But the circus conductor died because he’s diabetic and can’t afford his insulin, and now we’re being told to skip our fucking toast in the morning.
To publish this article at a time when the excesses of capitalism are so incredibly evident, in the aftermath of the Norfolk Southern train derailment in Ohio that polluted an entire town with deadly chemicals because an incredibly rich corporation wants to continue increasing its profits while providing no additional value to society, is at the height of tone-deafness. And to put that article behind a paywall, no less? Sure, we can laugh, but this take is ultimately deeply bleak and troubling.
I get that the Wall Street Journal needs to get its clicks so it can rake in even more cash for our bug-eyed overlords. Murdoch has long been famous for his questionable media tactics. But I can’t help but to question the strategy behind publishing an article with this kind of title that so blatantly ignores the corporate greed that’s pushing up food prices across the country.
