31 December 2011 - great corporations
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
From grape juice we graduated to cran-apple juice, then to
juices with eight ingredients listed in small type (no longer
wholesome but partialsome). It’s not because we like it, it’s
because we’re in the clutches of multinationals that mix and match
to squeeze pennies. Vacuum cleaners are no different. You
can’t escape; a mere consumer is helpless against the knowledge
and power of a great corporation. You might as well relax and
enjoy it while I plan the mergers to become king of the world.
clue:
I was given a box of chocolates in which, it turned out, each
kind was manufactured in a different country—to say nothing
of the raw ingredients.
take oh take this clue away
