The Rules

A $19 strawberry has caused a stir online. And of course, it's sold at Erewhon. (www.nbcnews.com)

Can't fix stupid

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

It's not stupidity, it's wealth.

When you have so much that you don't know what to do with anymore, you start looking for more exotic ways to spend it and you settle on things like overprice produce and single use clothing items.

All of it in an attempt to feel some excitement from the boredom of being able to do whatever you want but being still constrained by your day to day life.
It sure looks stupid though when you could just buy a good strawberry and enjoy it.
