    “I bet Marx couldn’t have foreseen…” Then they list some new thing. Sometimes if you’re really lucky they just talk about consumer products.

      Hot Pocket patented microwaveable crisping sleeve

      Did you know they stopped including that? Probably allowed them to shave a couple pennies off their costs. They tell you to microwave it if you don’t care that it’ll be squishy or air fry it if you want it crispy. There’s probably a critique of capital rolled in there.
