    I don’t give a shit if you hired us at whatever wage. The profits are going back to America.

    We should find ways to penalize this type of bullshit.

    I’m so sick of the lying. Everyone in power is so casually lying without fear of consequences. Lying used to be a shameful thing to do. How do we get back to that?

    Edit: How do we call them out on it? Social media attack? How much does it cost to post ads on all the popular media platforms? Even though it gives money to billionaires in the short term, maybe the public crucifixion would be worth it.

      Lying became a means to an end. Police officers lie to get anyone arrested to fill their quotas. Politicians lie to get elected over someone who might actually be honest. Corporations lie to protect their bottom line. It’s just a tool for these ghouls now.

        To be fair, the people who need to see it most don’t generally use ad blockers. They aren’t tech savvy or even outright enjoy ads.

          I’m not tech savvy but I use an ad blocker. I think most people either don’t know they exist or don’t care.

            I’m not tech savvy but I use an ad blocker.

            That makes you more tech savvy than a large portion of average users. Just knowing they exist, and how to implement one means you’re at least savvy enough to:

            1. Be aware of the option at all
            2. Be aware that not all browsers allow it
            3. Know either how to navigate your browser settings to install one, or how to word a search query to figure it out

            I think most people either don’t know they exist or don’t care.

            See numbered list above 😉

    There’s a kraft commercial like this I saw the other day as well. Fuck kraft. Sorry to those folks who work there but I’m not buying that shit anymore.

    It is deeply weird how the local Safeway will mark things as Canadian because manufacturing is here even though the ownership is entirely American.

    They have Pepsi and Coke with Canadian flags on them for some weird reason.

      The Pepsi and Coke thing goes down a deeper rabbit hole. McDonald’s cups have maple leaves, too. My honest suspicion is it helps ID stock meant for different markets for inventory and import/export reasons.

      Safeway is an american grocery store. They are not your friend and they will be on the side of American companies. That they are doing this is unsurprising.

        Canada Safeway is owned (since 2013) by Sobeys, which is a fully Canadian owned company.

        The only thing it has in common with the US company is the name.

        Similar to A&W. Completely separate company in Canada and the US.

        I’m kinda torn on things. The other option in the area is a NoFrills, which is the Loblaws monopoly. They are Canadian, but evil as fuck. At least Safeway has a functional union for the workers?

        Otherwise I can drive 20 minutes (both ways) and go to a Co-Op instead of a 4 minute walk. I’m legit not sure which of the options is worse or best.
