If I can’t share a Curly Wurly then it’s not a revolution.
I remember a little while back reading something about how Financial Literacy was introduced as a way for the banks to avoid regulation, pushing the responsibility to individuals rather than face government pressure to change.
I’ll have to look for the article…
I don’t see them as any different to cigarettes personally. Just one more way for giant corporations to get people hooked on addictive shit with no upside. Fuck Jool. Fuck Philip Morris.
These companies spend millions knowingly breaking the law over and over and then get to keep operating regardless? Their executives should be in prison.
My team moved to fully remote a month ago. I’m loving it so far.
Getting to see my little girl throughout my day makes me feel like I’m not missing out on watching her grow up.
Won’t someone think of the investors?!
Yeah they’re kind of the ultimate monopolization machine
Did they ever? They bought PageMaker in 1994 and Photoshop in 1995. They bought Macromedia in 2006, GoLive, Live motion, Typekit, Behance… Is there anything they’ve ever bought they haven’t slowly ruined with financialisation or just outright shuttering what would have been competition?
You people bake your sausages?
What’s your bright spot today buddy?
No, some of them are also insurrectionists who’ve already tried to overthrow their government once.

My MY21 Hyundai Kona feels like a normal car without all those extra features. Lots of tactile buttons, there’s a headphone jack/USB. It’s really just a regular car with an EV engine.
His insinuation that McDonald’s caused liver damage in his documentary was pretty questionable especially when it came out that he’d failed to mention his severe alcoholism.

Why does the executive branch have any say over the judicial branch? Shouldn’t they operate independently of each other?
I will never not post this. This is what anyone who gets one of these is destined for :
Tell that to her victims at Walgreens who grieved when they were falsely told they had suffered a miscarriage or who were told they were HIV positive.
I’m not from the US so I’ve been finding this story a little hard to track. It’s so weird. I was on a Joe Rogan sub (I don’t usually follow) and commenters were saying that over 60% of arrests were ‘outsiders’. No idea where they go that stat.
Clearly he doesn’t give a shit. That’s the point. He can ruin 14,000 people’s lives and go on taking his private jet from city to city to skip traffic.
You know it didn’t use to be this way? There was a time when you could be ‘A GE man’. You could work at a company for your whole life. You would not get laid off and rehired whenever it was convenient for the company, rather they’d show you some loyalty and you’d show them the same, this would be backed by employee profit sharing schemes, incentivising higher performance.
The heart of this deal between workers and management was ripped out when management chased higher share valuations, with stock bonuses for themselves instead of workers. It became cheaper to fire 1/80th of the workforce because you could break up unions that way, management could write off all those salaries to bump up the quarterly earnings, increasing the stock price and earning themselves bonuses at the expense of workers who as you said, just learn to get by.
