Perhaps all the above could be summed up by “Capitalist Greed”…??? 🤡 🖕
No. It can’t. And you’re actively hurting your efforts by attaching high school edgelord bullshit to it.
Corruption has been a serious problem everywhere, forever, and does not care one bit what words the ruling party uses to express themselves. None of what is happening right now is restricted to nations which call themselves capitalist.

Humans know what humans are like, so this shit falls on deaf ears among the general population because it’s so obviously wrong. The problem is when kids who are still trying to sort out up and down get exposed to it, as I did when I was younger, and end up buying into rubbish ideas like believing that it’s totally okay to ignore your physical health.

So they readily admit it’s a fair price, but still felt the need to complain to the media?

I hope you can understand how extenuating circumstances such as yours aren’t the norm.
An indoor cat wouldn’t stand a chance. The lack of experience is an absolutely enormous barrier to overcome, and indoor cats really struggle a lot if they ever get lost outside.
Aw.
Did we get too close to getting along again?
