Speaking of the soullessness of equating brand awareness with anything of value, nothing proves the superiority of capitalism better than literally burning new condition clothing because you can't stand the thought that your logo might be on a poor person.

I'm going to say something deeply unpopular and suggest that maybe giving profit driven corporations the ability to benefit from the deaths of easily replaceable staff might not be a great idea.

It's actually not a problem because the insurance companies are also profit driven corporations, so they will fight just as ruthlessly to destroy anyone who tries to rip them off with an employee murder insurance scam.

We are getting so close to corporations being able to sue their own employees for shareholders' profit loss. But if you are going to make the punishment capital it'd be more viable to recoup by selling their organs, since insurance companies are going catch on pretty quick.

Aleuts rock, chummer.

My roommate got fired from his job, found out he didn't qualify for unemployment and started doing postmates (food delivery on foot from restaurants that don't deliver normally via an app), it costs him 7.50 in bus fare round trip and he gets paid 4.00+ per delivery but if he makes 55 deliveries in the first 16 days he gets a 500 dollar bonus. Thing is he ran out of phone data and his low speed connection is too slow to use the app, his plan was to pay for more data with the postmates money but that's not coming in for a few more weeks so he's going to get money for the phone data by selling plasma. He's too proud to borrow money to pay for that phone data so that plasma will be put into a rich person so his blood will usher in an age of oligarch Methuselahs.

we regret to inform you that the chick fil a baby is a racist

quote:

“The hospital had me sign the birth certificate as the attending physician,” says Robert. “I think it’s pretty ironic that a proud conservative, Christian family would have a baby in a Chick-Fil-A, and wrapped in a Trump 2020 T-shirt!”

This post coupled with that bike tour through a shanty town one really brings home how well Steinbeck really nailed the idea of America in his books. Nothing's changed.
