The Electoral College.

"Internet of Everything" ideology. Sticking surveillance technology on shit that doesn't need it to make it both worse and more malicious really fucks things up.

How normalised heavy drinking is in Britain

My current favorite is the federal reserve making policy to intentionally weaken the labor market. I am currently paying the fuckwads scheming to keep labor weak, docile, and dependent. What a blast.

Slavery

Positive attitude towards billionaire philanthropists. First, they made a fortune on the result of labor alienated from workers, then they threw a pitch and became good guys

That few countries take a person's wealth and income into account when fining them for breaking laws. I see examples like these and wish this were the norm everywhere.

Christmas.

An environmental impact study on this would be interesting.

Homelessness.

Billionaires.

War.

Magic, aka science and technology.

Religion

This is the thread that made me make an account and what a pain it was to find without having saved it anywhere. I've been holding out for someone to say it, but havwn't seen it specifically.

Single use plastics. I still remember the weird feeling of doom when learning the world population and making the quick relation to disposable plastics, constantly being told "but it's only a little bit." A little bit for several thousand years, per billions, is too many bits.

Tobacco smoking.

Having to wear clothes in public.

Ticketmaster fees

Modern devices not using USB-C.

Compulsory "bless you" when someone sneezes

Expensive wedding
Jewels
Gold

iPhone prices.

Green grass lawns.

Capitalism and billionaires

Not having any control over your computing. CS illiteracy is really scary. The world looks grim from the libre software world.

Circus politics
