      I’m still on the buycott for Kelloggs after they dropped breittbart so all I buy is special k. Unless they’ve changed something since then.

      Edit. Looking it up, looks like they were doing alrightish but then they busted a union. On the other hand Post is working with trump, and general mills has been working with Israeli settlements. I guess you can go with some small brands. I’ll still buy Kelloggs until I hear they change paths on breitbart since it’s what I’d been doing.

        To be honest, it’s not so much shitty companies, but shitty purchasing decisions

        I wouldn’t buy any products from any brands listed there because I know they’re cheap, over-processed junk. Literally everything there.

        If you’re buying that stuff because it’s cheaper, you need to learn about nutrition. You can get far more calories/nutrients/minerals/protein from slightly more expensive products, costing you less overall

          …? Did you even look at the picture? That’s 60-70%+ of the brands in any major retailer. It a bit of an oversight to suggest that poor decision making is leading to buying from these shit companies. You have to actually go out of your way to NOT buy one of these brands.

              I don’t buy anything from LITERALLY any of those brands, and YOU need to learn about nutrition!!

        Well, technically there are a shit ton of shitty subsidiaries. There are only like six companies, period. Which is a problem in and of itself. And it turns out all six are shitty.

        I’m not going to pretend Folger’s is some fine luxury brand. I’m not going to pretend it’s even good coffee. It’s fine. Not great but fine.

        Is it shit? No, get your ratios right and it’s fine. It’s cheaper and better than a Starbucks cup. If you’re going for black coffee, you can do worse.

      Why is this guy being downvoted? Is there an implication of Folgers endorsing Trump? Is it implied that his liking Folgers is because of their Trump endorsement?

              According to Scalia, a punishment must be cruel and unusual to be unconstitutional. Foldgers may be cruel, but it’s not unusual. Go for it.

    You give me tax cuts for the rich, what little healthcare you have left, your reproductive rights, free elections, and the ability to commit felonies.

    There are dozens more on a table to the left side out off camera. Is it confirmed these brands had any prior knowledge of are actually publicly backing trump?

    I am fully aware the personal pocket books of the heads of these companies are deep for the GOP.

    I didn’t watch it but my guess is the context is something like “all these groceries got more expensive under Joe Biden!” He was bitching about not being able to afford bacon a couple days ago.

      That’s because of the lawsuits, not inflation.

      Yet it’s that fat fuck’s lack of attention to pandemic profiteering that led to the inflation. The last 4 years have been trying to mitigate the effects of his half-assed handling of the situation.

        Isn’t it always funny that the last 2 Democrat presidents inherited absolute economic shit shows from republicans and managed to turn things around only to be blamed for causing the problems that were left to them…

          It just seems to be how it goes. It’s the same here in Australia. The conservatives fuck everyone who is not already wealthy, then the progressive get elected just long enough to get blamed for how fucked everything is, and the conservatives get elected again because they’re “superior economic managers”.

          The last three Democratic presidents. Clinton inherited the massive debt run up by Reagan and Bush I, and in just six years not only eliminated the deficit but also started producing a fucking surplus. If that sort of financial responsibility had been continued instead of being thrown in the trash by Bush II and Dick “Reagan proved that deficits don’t matter” Cheney, we would have eliminated the national debt years ago.
