Ok, the title is hyperbolic (I hope), but here's a disturbing photo - bags of fresh air sent to one of China's most polluted and smoggy cities.
I hope I can get this embedded image right...

It seems like capitalism as usual.
From the introduction to capitalism:
Quote:
Furthermore, for money to make more money, more and more things have to be exchangeable for money. Thus the tendency is for everything from everyday items to DNA sequences to carbon dioxide emissions – and, crucially, our ability to work - to become commodified.
Now, its the air.

He meant the end of the world.

If I'm going to base that in different issue in every country and the climate change then I agree. What do you think?

Just found out this was an April Fools prank. But you know what? It's a good idea, send those bags of fresh air, they need them.

Yeah, that one mistake but there are "oxygen bars" in many cities where you go and pay and breathe oxygen.
I keep getting this advert on my Facebook wall from Pizza Hut. Truly we are living in the end times of civilisation:

I want that

The very fact that this commodification of the air is so believable is a sign of the times.

Steven, it would seem to me to be one of those times that it is appropriate to say 'LOL'.
Therefore: LOL!

By way of explanation, the advertising slogan which goes with it is basically "Can't choose between burger and pizza? Now you don't have to"

@Steven
I once went to a bar where the staff put me in a private room, wired me up to an oxygen mask, and made me watch 70's porn on a big screen while serving me vesper martinis. At least I think it was oxygen. I honestly can't even remember what country it was in. I'm pretty sure my mother-in-law was there though.
But yeah, fucking Pizza Hut. Them and Dominos are at the top of my post revolution kill list. And they're not even fucking cheap!

The system can absorb an unlimited amount of degeneration before it finally sinks the whole planet into the abyss

Post revolution, there won't be any companies to speak of.
Can comment on articles and discussions
Well, if we're talking about end times of capitalism and the state, then I hope it's NOT AT ALL hyperbolic.
