There is a brand of capitalism I call scrotum capitalism.
The goal of the scrotum
capitalist is to get all of their customers by the scrotum. But you don’t have
to have an actual scrotum in order to have a scrotum capitalist get you by the
scrotum. I’m talking about a metaphorical scrotum, and everyone has one of
those.
In order words, the scrotum
capitalist seeks to corner the market on something their customers can’t live
without. That way, the scrotum capitalist can charge the customers whatever
stupid inflated price they decide to charge and the customers have no choice
but to pay whatever that price may be because the scrotum capitalist has them
by the scrotum.
That’s how healthcare is distributed in the
U.S. Another good example of scrotum capitalism is the price they charge for the
brushes that you have to attach to the end of electric toothbrushes Have you seen how crazy overpriced those
things are? They’re like 10 bucks a piece! They look like they cost about 10
cents a piece to make. But the people who manufacture electric toothbrushes
know they’ve got you by the scrotum because what the hell good is an electric
toothbrush without the brush? Maybe you could use it as a vibrating dildo but
that’s about it. And even then, you’re still going to have to brush your teeth eventually.
Cripples are quite often the
victims of scrotum capitalism, Buying a cripple accessible vehicle costs about
as much as buying two regular vehicles. But what’re you going to do? You’ve
gotta have it so you suck it up and pay for it.
I’ve got these buttons that
control various functions of my wheelchair. If I need a replacement button and
I go to buy one online, they cost about $70! And they look like maybe they cost
about $2 to make, at the most!
That’s how it is when it
comes to the cost of wheelchairs and wheelchair parts and stuff like that that
cripples can’t live without. But what’re you going to do? You’ve gotta have it
so you suck it up and pay for it.
