It’s been a mess out there, for sure.

The ICE kidnappings are terrorism.

You know, I agree with much of this. It is an echo chamber here. There is a limit to the amount of political discourse one can handle daily as well. I really, truly understand, because it drives me up a wall as well sometimes.

But it’s impossible to escape politics when “politics” is our government doing fascism. The echo chamber we are in leans pretty left and typically hates fascism. It’s escalated now that we have bombed the fuck out of Iran on behalf of Israel. We are really, truly the bad guys now and sometimes that means interrupting memes. 😕

Oh wow! Go handle it then. Be the change. Vote, protest, etc.

People that bitch about politics being in everything are often the ones who need to see it and understand it the most. We have a future dictator in office who is kidnapping citizens and starting another pointless war, while tanking the economy to new levels, but mUh CoMmUnItIeS…

“they can choose not to do that. it’s not as though they literally re-order every product the moment they sell a unit.”

No shit. Most stock systems just remove that item from current inventory, and when it gets too low it triggers a reorder request.

Corporations do not abide by ethics. They do not care about anything but increasing profits. So not buying certain things causes stock to sit, and in this case expire. That hurts their bottom line, and so it is more likely to trigger change in the form of them no longer stocking said item to sell. Are you really this dense?

By giving them your money, you are funding the operation of the plants that produce the meat. And lining the pockets of those that make the decisions to act this way. It is not meaningless.

If you don’t give them money, it hurts their bottom line and forces either change or the shutting down of the business. You can speak volumes through making more ethical decisions about where your money goes.

By purchasing meat from companies like this, you absolutely are. Support your local butcher if you do consume.
