I was curious about what a "world passport" is so I looked it up. You can just order one from a website for like $75. It's literally a worthless piece of paper to everyone except the idiot who paid to have it printed lol
I'll sell you one for $70. Capitalism must breed competition.
I’ll sell you one for $69.69.
The way their capitalism was supposed to work, where consumers end up benefitting from cheaper goods at better quality, Nd the best quality for a reasonable price. Instead, we now have crazy shit like oat milk costing $7 for a half gallon. Every single brand. Why would water and oats, two very cheap items, ever come out to $7 retail? Because these companies are all artificially keeping their prices high, together.
Crony capitalism. Same goes for airlines, any government contractor, ISPs, etc. We live in a post-capitalist society. And we are now under the thumb of tyrant capitalism.
Hey, that's hardly fair. It's also worth something to the scammer who printed and sold it. (Specifically, it's worth $75 - material costs.)
There's also a few minutes of labor going into it, and hosting costs for the web site, including domain registration.
So in total $75 - material costs - 10 minutes of labor - (total number of "passports" sold / (monthly domain cost + website hosting costs))
