The joke is basically: “How can you claim to be hungry when there’s a perfectly nice hot dog lying on the pavement right in front of you?”

Were this capitalism, the competition would simply win by offering lower prices, but Kroger was allowed to grow to monopolistic proportions so that they’ve either bought up any and all serious competition already, muscled rivals out of business or settled on quasi-gerrymandered spheres of influence with their equally monopolistic competitors, so that nobody undercuts them when they abuse their status to not offer the best deals, but instead price-gouge the people stuck in their sphere of influence.

The question stands.

Memes are fair game in this wretched hive of scum and evilitude.

The head?

Fun fact: only one of those items is made up.

I’m sick of these private corporations fucking over all of us repeatedly and NOTHING being done.

You misunderstand the role distribution. The American people are not the ones who are being protected from the big companies in the country.

They are the prey being offered to the big companies.

The companies have won. They are paying the legislation to provide a buffet of easily exploitable, squeezable unprotected victims. Depending on whether you need medical procedures, an education, or are just unlucky enough to be chosen to become labour in the private prison complex due to being the wrong colour, the companies are just waiting for you to fall into their respective web, at which point they own you, suck you dry and leave you to bankruptcy or worse.

The question wasn’t “what came first - the chicken or the chicken egg?” The first chicken hatched from AN egg. Question answered.

“It’s called ‘cinnamon’, Karen.”

Cars are useful. Cars protect children in many situations. Cars are among the things that majorly contribute to even having a food supply. Cars freedom patriotism eagles liberty-gasm!

Yet it is still possible to have cars serve those functions without giving in to the lobbies that wish to make it mandatory to get paid for shoving a car down the throat of every loony who wants one to hurt others with. Because cars are well regulated to make them as safe as possible.

But how are the corporations then supposed to keep ripping off their wage slaves by making them afraid to ask for more or organise out of some drummed up moral concern? Huh? Didn’t consider that, did ya? Won’t somebody think of the poor, poor corporations?

And that’s why we must lock every one of our free citizens up. Y’know, for their protection.

Since Goebbels used the phrase “If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear”, then he’d be the one arguing against the right to privacy. The fascist dogma is eroding privacy in favour of surveillance - ostensibly to protect the people, but really just to control them.

Our vultures are so fat, you wouldn’t believe how full they are all the time…

I wish “a lot of rubes” were hyperbolic. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/14/americans-believe-climate-change-study

Fox & Co are doing a splendid job of growing rubes.

No no no, that’s just “Florida Man”, that’s the one dude you keep hearing about. Florida Georg is a statistical outlier and should not be counted.

They should learn from Chernobyl and Fukushima. Nobody’s touching their reactors.

What’s not to understand: is having sex with or without a condor your preferred option?

Yeah, once you’ve given the app permission to snoop out all your data, they have what they came for and don’t need you to keep it any longer.

From the company that brought you “Fire Alarrm Silencer - because you don’t want that annoying noise in your ear, right?”
