    Sure, if you narrow your view to literally only what is in front of you. But everyrhing has gotten cheaper, duller, less colorful, and just clearly designed for nothing but extracting capital.

    Yes, you’re right, we shouldn’t be advertising that crap to children. But I would like to buy a car with an actual color painted on it, or have a house with actual character, or pay for services that actually work because at least someone behind the scenes actually cares. I feel like we’ve just lost all soul in society and it shows up in all sorts of places you wouldnt expect.

    Places like how were all more lonely than anytime in history even though there’s more people than ever, or how people are so scared all the time even though we live in the safest time in the last 150 years, or how people seem to just be angry and have less patience in public any more.

    McDonald’s is just an easy target because of how shocking their change has been, and how ubiquitous these changes have been.
