I have a job at a large corporate retail store and we recently raised a lot of prices, mostly for things that haven’t been hit by tariffs yet. The owner is using the tariffs as an excuse to jack up prices for no reason. Even if all the tariffs were done away with tomorrow, corporate America is still going to jack up the prices.
But have you thought about the shareholders?
I have, and on a related note, I also think of guillotines.
Picked a couple up for $0.78 yesterday at the local Mexican supermarket.
You know, the people our nation is actively persecuting.

Used to hate Arizona quite a bit because it felt super bougie and expensive for what’s essentially just a regular ice tea. Developed a taste for it over the years and like it quite a bit nowadays because it’s partly sweetened with stevia which makes it taste very pleasantly. Quite unfortunate that most of the flavours sold here aren’t vegan because they insist on 0,1% of honey in the ingredients
Vegans don’t eat Honey? Huh.
Makes sense when you think about it, tho.
All that honeybee suffering…
It’s a lack of human imagination to think that animals without eyebrows can’t suffer.
There are parts of (industrial) beekeeping that aren’t ethical. It’s up to people themselves to decide if they are comfortable with that.
For example outcompeting other native pollinators, culling entire hives by drowning or gassing is a thing, clipping the wings of the queen to prevent swarming, increased risk of disease due to lower nutritional value of sugar water
Why the fuck are vegans not eating honey? It’s nectar?
Please don’t tell me it’s to do with exploitation of insects.
💯
It has to do with the exploitation of insects.
What about the exploitation of animals ecosystems for farming? Those murderous vegetables!
I’m glad you asked. Fruitarians have an answer to that moral dilemma.
These fucking vegans care for insects now? That makes me so mad.
Honeybees destroy ecosystems because they’re more efficient at pollination than wild bees are, so there’s an ecological nuance to abstaining from honey. Apart from that, there’s the ethical component of taking away food that the bees produce for themselves that’s not ours for the taking.
God forbid someone have empathy for living creatures.
