A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Those that want It that day, if the whole lot is fresh pay the regular, when a week goes by and it will be "expired" some new stock will come in, so now you still have new choice or discounted on older stock. Its a win win and doesn't do the 40% spoilage we have now.

Its how it used to be decades ago when a human was actually placing price tags on items.

I also see this model work in sports shops that do consignment. You drop off you mountain bike, they price at $600, each month the price drops 5-10% until an agreed minimum. This way they rotate stock quicker, seller will eventually get a sale, and the buyer either anaps it up when they see the item to ensure nobody get is later. You could wait a month and hope for price reduction, but there's a chance of somebody else grabbing it.
