Re-Air Date: 12–2-25 Unless you were a member in May of 2024, this episode of SOLVED! will be brand new to you! If you were a member back then, THANK YOU and this one is worth a re-listen. We're slowing down production for a little bit to reorganize our production processes, so enjoy this episode from our archives (and B.Y: before YouTube) where Jay!, Amanda, Deon, and Erin discuss: Ch. 1 - How supply and demand economics is not about "distribution of goods with the greatest efficiency" and is instead about nothing more than predatory greed Ch. 2 - How what we value as humans goes far beyond the price of commodities Ch. 3 - More examples of "enshitification" as companies reach inside our homes to control things we already bought Ch. 4 - How companies are restricting functionality to extract even more from us FOLLOW US ON: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@BestOfTheLeft/">YouTube</a> (This full episode premieres on YouTube on Friday - please share!) <a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/bestoftheleft.bsky.social">Bluesky</a> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/bestoftheleft/">Instagram</a> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/BestOfTheLeft/">Facebook</a> <a href= "https://mastodon.social/@bestoftheleft@mstdn.social">Mastadon</a> REFERENCES: <a href= "https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/04/surge-pricing-fees-economy/678078/"> WELCOME TO PRICING HELL</a> - The Atlantic <a href= "https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/junk-fees-restaurants-concerts-hotels-prices-5d0cc14a"> The Gap Between the Price You See and What You Pay Is Getting Worse</a> - The Wall Street Journal <a href= "https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/04/roku-tv-ads-patent/678041/"> Welcome to the Golden Age of User Hostility</a> - The Atlantic <a href= "https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/02/home-printer-digital-rights-management-hp-instant-ink-subscription/672913/"> My Printer Is Extorting Me</a> - The Atlantic <a href= "https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bought-model-y-tesla-may-143212927.html"> Bought a Model Y?
