“Having refused the poor what is necessary, they give the rich what is superfluous.”

It is not because of the few thousand francs which would have to be spent to put a roof over the third-class carriages or to upholster the third-class seats that some company or other has open carriages with wooden benches. What the company is trying to do is to prevent the passengers who can pay the second class fare from traveling third class; it hits the poor, not because it wants to hurt them, but to frighten the rich. And it is again for the same reason that the companies, having proved almost cruel to the third-class passengers and mean to the second-class ones, become lavish in dealing with first-class passengers. Having refused the poor what is necessary, they give the rich what is superfluous.

-Jules Dupuis

(h/t Andrew Odlyzko)

How increasing cruelty and decadence is baked into the economic system.

This is why airlines have kept the “temporary security measures” in place long after 9/11. The more money you give the airlines, the less hassle you have to deal with going through the security theater, so airlines profit off the misery.

i find most people who haven’t seen it in person don’t know that cairo is RIGHT THERE

I loved these perspectives so I took some of my own when I was in Cairo and yeah, they’re literally just. Right there. Pass em on your way to work, nbd

No, y'all don’t even understand.

There is literally a Pizza Hut across the street from the pyramids.

That Pizza Hut among other things is why Egyptologists laugh their asses off when we see another piece of media where the protagonists get “lost in the desert near the pyramids”, because it’s like… just turn around my dudes you’re only a seven min walk away from the nearest fastfood shop

Yall don’t know how much I adore all of this
