Ah come on lemme just have one man I'm begging you please. Just let me pretend a little longer
Friend, you can have all the men you want
Sorry friend, I can’t in good faith let them keep pulling wool over peoples eyes. By all means keep shopping there if you need to economically, but they very much need you to believe they are different from the rest
Ok but they are different from the rest though. They treat their employees better, provide good products and services, and as far as I know are the only company who are even pretending to attempt to pass the tariff refunds along to their customers. It's just not up to your ideal standard. Which is fine, we don't live in a perfect world and should continue to push for the best.
Also their founder told the CEO "If you raise the price of the hot dog I will fucking kill you."
Is keeping the price of animal abuse products artificially low beneficial to the animals, the climate, or any of us though?
This thread is peak Lemmy.
That fight is with corn subsidies, not food court hot dogs.
Why wouldn’t it be both?
Because bottom-up behavioral changes are an ineffective use of energy. Consumer-scale recycling, pushing people towards veganism, embracing mass transit, equal rights regardless of demographic... decades of effort and a losing battle. Societal change requires a legislative push, and that push is usually spearheaded by an organized group of regular people but they are pressuring Congress and businesses rather than shaming their neighbors.
