The Inhumans of Late Capitalism page (not to be confused with the Humans of Late Capitalism social media accounts which is a similar but entirely different horse entirely) has over 178.6k followers, all eagerly waiting for the next juicy post making fun of our dystopian everyday lives.
As many of you have probably realized by now, capitalism is far from a perfect system. But what’s the alternative? Does one even exist? Anyone who’s ever opened up a history book knows that communism isn’t an alternative—it’s just a more brutal dystopia that resulted in the deaths of millions of people. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
However, things might not be as grim nowadays as we think. For instance, Paul Mason writes in The Guardian that we might be entering the postcapitalist era without even noticing it. The forces driving this are information technology, the rise of the sharing economy, and new ways of working. Mason’s point of view is refreshing because he paints a bright and sunny picture of the future, instead of one where we’re all doomed and fighting global warming, zombies, and the plague on all fronts.

In our county, it's not a mistake. With the China Tariffs in effect, China is not taking our recyclables anymore. So as a cheaper alternative, our county either burns or buries it. Our county is not the exception, rather the rule, these days....

I don't think you can put two bags if there's nothing in the middle holding the bags.

I have sad news for you: in all likelihood all the stuff you put in a recycle bin will have its valuable materials like aluminum removed, and then the rest of it is thrown away with the garbage.

Yes, I remember a school where the student newspaper staff discovered that all their 'recycling' was being dumped in with the regular garbage, and they ran an expose and got it fixed. Could be the same school.

This is happening daily in Canada. This is the educated and enlightened population of Canada! This is the sad truth of recycling in Canada. Not enough Canadians give a damn. I sure hope your country can boast a better recycling track record than Canada's. I am Canadian. I do recycle but sometimes wonder why I bother. sob

There are people who really don't want to be good and considered, they just want to look that way.

pretty common. I have seen dumpsters that have 2 covers- one side recycle the other side trash with no barrier in between.

Yeah, stupidest implementation, ever. Why not just phone it in? I suspect that topper with the two holes was originally made for a can with two half-moon-shaped inserts that would have a bag in each, which the topper fit tight enough to that there was little enough space between the can and top so the two streams wouldn't mix. Like the team on Ghostbusters would say: "DON't cross the streams...!"

We have two types of seperated bins at work, red lid for rubbish and yellow for recycled. When they empty them, they take out the. Thick plastic bag from each bin, tie it and put it on the trolley then put in a new black plastic bag and put the lid on the bin, the full bags, all of them , are then taken to the One dumpster out back.

People thought that Everything Else means the same as the left side maybe? Or the management just forgot to put a separate bin/colored bag in each hole?

the whole foods in Upper Arlington Ohio had a similar type of can where everything went into the same bag.

Since much of our recycling has no where to go, it does end up in a landfill. Plants shut down, or can't handle what they gave. Once plastics are processed, there are few places that will remanufacture it. And recycled plastic can only be reused and recycled one time. After that it is too brittle.

I have to believe that this atrocity is worth going to the top to complain. It's deceptively suggesting that the business where the receptacle is located supports recycling and the environment. And this idea may just influence the consumer in an undeserved "positive" fashion.
Harley Rayner 4 years ago
Depends on where it is. In Edmonton, Alberta, many places are like this. It's so people won't complain that they can't sort it themselves. But all waste in Edmonton gets sent to a sorting facility and sorted there. Creates lots of jobs and takes away the effects of the idiots who just throw everything in the trash regardless.
Eduard Korhonen 4 years ago
The bags just go to be sorted. The recyclable stuff is still recycled.
According to Mason, information technology has reduced the need for work, blurred the “edges between work and free time,” and “loosened the relationship between work and wages.” The amount we have to work will further diminish as automation increases. But that’ll still take a while because our way of thinking has yet to catch up with the power of robotics.
Mason also states that we’re “seeing the spontaneous rise of collaborative production: goods, services, and organizations are appearing that no longer respond to the dictates of the market and the managerial hierarchy. The biggest information product in the world—Wikipedia—is made by volunteers for free, abolishing the encyclopedia business and depriving the advertising industry of an estimated $3bn a year in revenue.”
In other words, we’re seeing various new forms of work, ownership, and businesses that will (in the long run) change our society as we know it. But whether or not it’ll be a postcapitalist society or something else entirely, we’ll find out in a few decades.

Hmm it's good to set boundaries for your kids en give them a sense of responsibility. But not in the way you are proposing mr Coach-dad wich sons and daughters are probably real sad en feel no self worth because you give them the feeling they are never good enough for your approval.

Over half of these have little to nothing to do with capitalism, and almost all of the posts are people just whining about modern society.

I don't know which one is more depressive, the post or the some comments here. Many people can't even dream a better world anymore. Even after seeing all these obviously unacceptable examples first thing they do is to take time a try to advocate "business". Even that student loan advertisement should be enough to stfu with your "business is good" b******t for a moment. Just shut up for a moment!! This is coming from a recent graduate with 30k education debt. You know, kind of a debt many of you were not familiar in your college years.

Um, socialism has quite the dark side as well if you do your research.

And all aspects of that can be trickled down to capitalism. If you mean communism, then I will agree with you there. No great power should be given to one person, or a group of persons. Socialism is a community effort though. If you are talking about failures in socialized medicine, then that can all be attributed to certain people wanting to make profit on medicine (capitalism) and influencing the government through funding...

Capitalism literally rewards people for meeting other people's needs. Socialism brings whole nations into poverty. You probably thinking of 'consumerism', not 'capitalism'.

Whomever is a socialist and gets triggered by capitalism: F**K YOU. Capitalism has lifted more people out of the worst conditions people can live in than anything else in history. F**K YOU for being a hypocrite and using the tools of capitalism to bash it. F**K YOU for wanting to go socialist and hurt.......absolutely everything. You are ignorant. You may as well say "Let them eat cake"

Yep. You simply can't want a better life for yourself or the people around you. Also stop using the word "triggered" for such a minor complaint please.

You shouldn't use lazy comparisons to try to prove a point. On the capitalistic/socialist spectrum the US is far more capitalistic than western Europe but the US has much worse corruption at this time. Full capitalism is just as bad as full socialism. You just don't realize that there aren't really any fully capitalistic countries that exist to compare to a full socialist country. The US, Western Europe, China and Japan all have a mix of socialism and capitalism. A good balance of the two is what works best right now.
