This signals the collapse.

    The west is going to end up with the top 1% as the only consumer class and the rest as exploited and labor reserve. Armchair leftoid academics are gonna call it something like “ultrasonic capitalism” and go back to smear socialist countries

      Reminded me of Kautsky coming up with his idea of “ultraimperialism”

      Saidy (dog) loves some random po* from the ground or litter box… Pumpkin (cat) is always up on the counter looking for human food hand outs.

      I give my dogs cooked rice and vegetables with either some boiled chickens and dry kibble. They are happy and healthy though I am sure they would love to eat slop everyday if they could.

    I am acquainted with an economics student who told me that the GDR economy was wasteful because people fed their dogs sausages as those were cheaply available. We were eating potato soup in the student cafeteria for three euros each

    Yep, this is a real economy, all right. No doubt about it.

    I make my own cat food cause it’s cheaper than store bought and healthier for them. Also my cats live outside in a barn where they hunt rodents and usually don’t need too much extra food anyway. I’m more of a “pets with jobs” sort of person.

        They don’t have leashes to begin with. Hell We don’t even put collars on them because they never stay on anyway and are dangerous for cats. We give them free room and board, free food, and free medical treatment which is regular. In return they take care of the rodents Their bargaining agreements consist of rubbing against my legs and meowing when I go outside until I pet them and talk to them in a really stupid voice. Then they try and trip me constantly as I step around them in my barn until I turn on something loud I’m which case they run away.

        I use chicken leg quarters. It’s easy if you have a meat grinder. If you have a blender/food processor you can separate the bones and the meat then put the bones in the blender/processor and blend it up. The bones and marrow have lots of good nutrients and enzymes for them so it’s best to include them. Also I go for zero waste.

    Also, how much do you want to bet that most of that food is unhealthy as fuck for dogs?

    Dogs shouldn’t be eating people food, their bodies are different from us and they require different nutrition!
