When everyone around you is a fascist, the real fascist is you.

No doubt there were muppets in Nazi Germany who said the same thing.

"Tell me you don't know what a fascist is without saying you don't know what a fascist is" speed run challenge.

Target was the hardest one for us. Went from spending hundreds per month (they were also our grocery) to zero. Fuck them for dropping DEI and bending the knee.

You and me both. Giving Target the finger a few months ago stung because Amazon and Walmart were already longtime members of the blacklist. Costco is getting my money now. I also didn't tell anyone except the stupid online form that asked why I was canceling my 20 year Red Card membership.

Huh. I never really thought about what you wrote about airbnb, but it hit me hard now. My partner actually works for an Airbnb and they have an enormous amount of property and apartments in rural areas which could've housed families. And to think there are many more of these businesses doing the same thing.

I rarely use airbnbs, I prefer hotels, so I haven't done a lot of contribution there but still, this has convinced me to never use one. Unless, the stay is in their house, or in a small house in their garden etc, which I actually have been in some years ago.

Tell ya partner to slack and steal as much time as possible from his employer, make careless mistakes, and cost the operation valuable time and money.

That's how ya fight capitalism: by making it unprofitable.

Worried about getting fired?

The truth is that boomers are dying or retiring, and there's not enough people out there to do the work.

Hiring and training new people costs a lot of money, and a new hire would want a salary just as high as a current employee, if not higher, due to inflation.

Source: I work in public accounting. The rich do nothing but steal from the working class 24/7.

I am sad to hear that about oatly. Not disagreeing with you, but do you have a link?

[–] quetzaldilla@lemmy.world 1 points 12 minutes ago

Not sure why you got downvoted, this is a space where reasonable questions should be encouraged.
