@wilpercy @samhainnight @klausfiend @mekkaokereke It really is unfortunate. Costco is one of the things where you must have money to save money. I know so many people who tell me "I just don't have room!" and they don't get a membership, but instead pay $5/doz for eggs and $2/can for canned chili.
Those of us wealthy enough to have space (be it earned or birth lottery) can take advantage of this, saving literally thousands of dollars in a year, allowing us to buy more space (and things like chest freezers/garage fridges), etc. Meanwhile, those below some threshold are stuck on a treadmill.
Capitalism is REALLY broken.
(yes, obviously a costco membership is not the solution to wealth inequality... but it makes for a really accessible metaphor that just about anyone in the US can relate to.)
