    The job “market”. Every time I hear a politician say “I’m going to make more jobs”, I want to yell “jobs are made by the act of doing something!”

      But also the marketization and commodification of everything.

      Basic necessities like housing and food that there’s more than enough for everyone made or being made, being denied to people to keep the price of those commodities artificially high, is not normal. Food being destroyed with bleach and housing being kept empty while people go hungry and sleep under interstate overpasses is not normal.
