Haha get fucked DoorDash. I’ll pick up my own food before using them.
Such horseshit. If you have money for politics, you aren’t paying your people enough!
Yeah, a symptom of late stage capitalism that large companies no longer compete by improving their product or service, but by manipulating the regulatory environment and/or competition, through collusion, legal attacks, or acquisition. It’s much less risky of an investment for larger companies post-mass-consolidation.
Honestly, though, they are the government in all but name at this point.
How fucked aren’t we? 😅😬
Not if you support and vote for your local Mandami. Theyre out there, just needing the right local conditions: create them. Get 3-5 friends and take over your local democratic organization
I hear you, fellow pleb, and I was ardently politically active for decades —until, at a protest vs Bush Jr’s use of his appointed judges to put him back in office, I witnessed 4 swat pigs hogtie a 13yr old girl that was walking by the scene, and huck her in the wagon like a sack. (they also shot a senior vet w/ a “less than lethal” round in the crotch, etc. when he tried to tell them it was a “sit in”).
I try to help wherever and however I can, but I’m pretty spent at this point after all these years of burning hard toward a dream, to be frank. 🥲🙇🏼♂️ I give what I can these days, but it’s a fraction of what I used to give with exuberance and glowing hope inside.
I feel it is never about having the money or not rather that for them it is a moral issue that it’s preferable to spend money on fewer people (political lobbying campaign) rather than the same total amount or even sometimes less on the many.
The same amount of money in fewer hands creates a choke-point that they can squeeze later.
