Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

We can make this the norm by boycotting greedy corporations

Nah, stop being nice. TAKE it from them. If they won't pivot from a Trickle Down Economy to a Trickle Up Economy, then we should forcibly impose a Robin Hood Economy.

Small, independent, Mom & Pop businesses are hands off, but for all those big corps? Rob'em blind.

We should absolutely be finding ways to destroy their bottom line. Not just boycotts, but causing actual trouble.

Who says we cant go into a store and move all their shit around so they have to spend days restocking shelves and wasting man hours?

Groceries are high too, maybe moving perishables out of refridgeration so they rot?

Or perhaps releasing crickets roaches or live mice into stores?

Any other ideas?
