For real if unionization did end up killing Walmart, do you realize how much my town and all small towns would benefit? Walmart came here and systematically killed off all the small interesting and vital stores and services, and I know my town is chock full of creative folks who desperately want to be entrepreneurs and start a fabric shop or a deli or what have you. But until Walmart fucking dies it's impossible to run these kinds of small but vital businesses in a small town. So I say kill it.

It's literally a core part of their strategy when they open a new Walmart. They go to all the local stores and undercut all of them, even if it means selling at a loss, because they can take the profit hit and the small business can't. You ever drive through a small town's downtown square and wonder why all these gorgeous old buildings and shop fronts are abandoned? It's fucking Walmart, and we need to kill it.

personally cannot fucking cope with bdg’s new video

If you look at the world and say “Yes, there are enough homes for people, yes, there is enough food for people, but if we give it away for free they won’t have earned it and the economy will collapse.” Then you have chosen money (a constructed medium of exchange) over living beings who only want to continue living in peace and safety.

And I have no qualms telling you, that is the wrong choice, and you have been brainwashed by this destructive, exploitative system.

ahhhh, I’m happy this one came back.

the #1 argument I see against posts like this is always “but I earned my house, my job, my comfortable life!! it’s not fair to me if someone else gets that after doing nothing to deserve it!!” 

my response is usually: why do you think humans have to earn the right to stay alive

When I worked at Amazon a microwave fell from five layers up in the racking and broke the arm of an order picker.

They were an agency temp so Amazon called the agency to let him go and have another temp sent *before* they called an ambulance, when he tried to put in sick days they turned around and told him “Sorry you’d already been let go before the accident was logged anywhere”

I will kill every ceo

I will help

This feels like a good time to get used to leaving your phone at home if you're not required to go out regularly. Quarantine is resetting your tracked movement patterns so now is a good time to figure out what time periods of which days of the week you'll routinely leave that tracking device on its charger. If you're only leaving home for quick trips to get essentials you might start "acclimating" to that now.

I am not ready for the mood guys

There are only four Irish folk songs:

1. I had too much to drink and I regret nothing

2. I met a fair bonny lass and she was bonny and fair

3. We will fight the British for ever and ever and ever and ever and

4. I have left Ireland and I shall never be happy again

me to me: don’t worry baby

It’s so they can take the focus away from the failure of the government
