    That’s not a contradiction. Your, my, and everyone’s bed is for sleeping in. The beds in that store are for accumulation of wealth. This displays the harsh efficiencies of capitalism, because the people in the most need for a bed cannot afford to have one.

      I belive the beds in a store that sells beds are either to be sold or to help you choose a bed. They are not “fuck you, see how many beds i have” beds

        It’ll probably be sold at a discount too since it was for display

            Right but equally it’s not the mattress company’s job to accommodate the homeless person. It’s not like they didn’t have to pay an inflated price from the manufacturer so if they sold it for the price of the materials they’d probably make a loss.

          That’s what everything everywhere is. Many folks in communist countries lack things others have too.

          Only in a hypothetical utopia could all persons have all things equally.

      So beds in the store are for accumulation of wealth but then when someone buys them they’re for sleeping in? Deep

      …selling people beds so they have beds to sleep in. Beds that aren’t riddled with bugs thanks to the store not being a homeless shelter.
