#DunkinDonuts charges 50¢ for Less Ice? Less?!?! #PeakCapitalism

Not a "#ClimateChange could be advantageous to tourism [for longer season and new destinations]" article. :oh_no:

I wonder if all these peeps realise that soon, if things remain the same way, they won't have a destination to spend their juicy earnings at.

Not content to just sell the chocolate and the #marshmallows for our #s'mores, Hershey now wants to sell us the sticks!

Have you never #roasted a #marshmallow? You don't need to buy sticks. They *literally* (LITERALLY!) grow on trees!

Look #Amazon, the company with over half a trillion of annual revenue, is super generous!

"We voluntarily pay you 6% more than the absolute legal minimum that isn't even enough to survive!"

"Today, German Chancellor #OlafScholz is expected to (...) announce a €9.9 billion #subsidy for the #microprocessor company, so that it sets up a plant in the German town of #Magdeburg."

Nennt mich alt, aber früher hat man Sachen mit Werbeaufdruck geschenkt bekommen, weil man ja damit auch Werbung macht wenn man sie trägt - oder man bekam die bei einer "Treue"-Aktion (ein Wort das nur in D🇧🇪 zieht) - aber heute zahlen da Leute Geld für o.O

State legislators are literally targeting child labor laws (and offering protection for businesses that employ children who get sick, injured, or die on the job) – instead of giving workers living wages and #LongCovid/healthcare support.

I've seen phrases such as #PeakCapitalism, #LateStageCapitalism and #EndStageCapitalism bandied about, and while these are all right as far as they go, they don't fully express what nakedly capitalistic behaviors are doing to the common person.

I thus humbly submit the phrase #DeathRattleCapitalism, where multinational corporations and their C-suite "lords of the earth" ride profits out into the wasteland of oblivion for everyone else.

Truth. “Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk do a ton of objectively bad stuff, but I just want to be clear that the mere act of holding onto that much money in a world with this much inequality is in itself a brutally evil action, and alone makes them bad.” -planet of finks on twitter #capitalism #capitalismsucks #peakcapitalism
