RE: Dem's Try Screwing Bernie With New Rule
i don't want to be "that guy"... but you guys are drinking Perrier... Perrier is a Nestle brand. giving up Drumsticks was one of the hardest things i've ever had to do... but there is a Canadian company called Chapman's that makes a decent alternative. i barely miss it now.
this is all based on the "vote with your dollar" narrative we've been fed... but that narrative still has to do with spending money. like when i was at Wal-Mart for Easter... and they had the Easter chocolates out for like $6 a pop... and i thought to myself, "no... i'll be smart and go get the chocolate from the cheap section... people are such idiots..." when the fact of the matter is they still got me to think about buying chocolate, and likely own both companies. it's hard to tell if buying a different product is even fighting in any direction.
most news is about stock market manipulation. from that whole uber vs lyft at the airport... because... racism(?), to people taking selfies with a Starbuck's because they hire refugees. standing behind a company's messages and mission statements, rather than the quality of goods the company produces, etc. displaying allegiance to a product, due to the company's assumed morality, when a company isn't a person. companies can't slip up and say stupid things in public... this is part of corporate fascism.
i'm ranting now. sorry. i love you guys, and i love your show. you don't even have to stop drinking the damn water. it's refreshing. <3
