The Instagram account ‘Humans of Capitalism’ we’re featuring today is full of examples that further illustrate the eerie consequences of corporate power we encounter daily.

Wow. She's had her eyes on her phone for so long she forgot what the natural world looks like.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices how greedy and out of touch shareholders are. They should have 0 input into management decisions.
I wear a sign like this at work sometimes. It rude not to respond to folks when they talk to you, but yeah, I can easily chat the day away and then I don't get my actual work done, Which then causes me stress.
Imagine drivers sleep driving while being paid to crash into people's homes because there's a house in the way of their route in their lucid dream.
What's so good about having almost the same photo as thousands of other people? Put the phone down and just enjoy the experience.
Las vegas beggar. Costume people who extort cash from tourists who take a photo..
and thus starts the story of how something that should have been left alone was unleashed
For some people, this may be the only way they can go, or afford to go "to the beach".
TIL that "...'Lorem Ipsum blah-blah-blah' is a well-known placeholder text commonly referred to as 'Lorem Ipsum.' It is derived from a work by Cicero, a Roman statesman and philosopher, and is used in the design and typesetting industries to demonstrate the visual form of a document without relying on meaningful content." So basically it's the "Text goes here" thing. BP is educational.
Very interesting debate actually. The US outlaws selling kidneys, and there is a huge shortage. Not so in most other countries, with respect to both.

Geebus. I thought she wasn't wearing any pants for a moment and she had some tan lines.
Chris Rankin, a 21-year-old from Glen Waverley, Melbourne. Was travelling along the Monash Freeway when near the Malvern Rd exit a car wheel bounced off a vehicle and hit the car on the windscreen. He asked a cop to snap a commemorative photo while they were doing the survey of the crash scene. Nothing to do with "capitalism"
This is overkill, but about 15 years ago i did have a monitor arm mounted directly over my bed when i was recovering from a back injury, and it was awesome.

Why is that here? You would rather have an ugly, undisguised phone tower in nature?
