I play this on jukeboxes on the regular at union bars and it always is great, there is still a real working class consciousness in this country it's just buried under a million pound of racism and anticommunism, but it only takes the slightest hint of fighting for something better to wake people the hell up. There is tremendous revolutionary potential locked up in the workers of America and I really believe that it can be unleashed, and that it will be unleashed, if we see people fighting for poo poo that actually matters. Bernie Sanders is a compromise candidate but he is right there, and I think we can build off of the back of his movement to make a real push to destroy capitalism here in the heart of the beast.

i think this is a really optimistic take, but the fact that "socialism" has become an acceptable concept to a large part of america, especially american youth is a good sign. i do believe that americans wont "wake up" until we see societal and environmental collapse

I like to think that they’re in the same position as Harley Davidson where their product doesn’t appeal to anyone under 50 so they have to keep doubling down in appealing to boomers in a desperate attempt to stay afloat.

Judging a book by its cover takes even less time, uses 0 labor to produce the paraphrased concepts, and is free

I don't want a picture from it myself, but I honestly don't see why everyone is losing their poo poo over this.

It's a dumb fun picture to get to commemorate a day at the stadium, that apparently costs nothing and is bad because.... ?



Am I genuinely missing something obvious or is this just goons being mad at things they don't personally enjoy?

Wasn't the original Monopoly supposed to be edgy? Like they were literally trying to show people how hosed capitalism is and how it's impossible to get ahead as soon as someone else gets an edge.

Of course if they really want to be edgy they should just do a maoist version.

You're in the capitalism.png thread asking why a gimmick photo booth thing is being mocked. Sure it's a well done gimmick but that doesn't change the fact it is one.

Does it? All the player figures are pre-keyed and put above the realtime photo, it doesn't have to do any processing on it

Stop for me, it's the claw!




On the subject of fresh produce, there are these little bins at my local supermarket where they put bananas, with a sign telling parents to take them for their kids at no charge. It made me think about the controversy of food that gets thrown away for not looking pretty enough, and how heaps of people say they would be willing to buy 'sub-par' produce at reduced cost. It's weird because the supermarket can't get people to take the good stuff for free even when they lay it out in front of them.

I always grab one of those free bits of fruit for my kid while we shop, and also my local supermarket has a section where it sells the ugly fruit and veg at reduced cost which I buy. So there.

There's been a big push against food waste here and many supermarket chains are doing sales on stuff close to expiration now. Used to be a lot of them would dump bleach on it after throwing it out.

the big Canadian grocery chain Loblaws has a brand line called “Naturally Imperfect” that’s packaged plainly and less expensive. my understanding is that it does relatively well for them.

there’s also this thing called FlashFood that sends app notifications for daily near-expiry discount. there are a few companies doing stuff like this, and it’s an area where economics and sustainability are (temporarily?) aligned: putting otherwise-waste good to productive use, including food bank donations, can be a big deal for a thin-margin industry. I am curious as to how they will eventually make it destructive.
