for anyone just randomly seeing this on lemmy, the beaverton does indeed do satire
I like their twist on Bob Loblaw.
Check out their law blog
That's Bob Loblaws Law Blog right?
bobloblawslawblog.com
the sad part is: my first reaction to this was "huh, guess we're really gone that far..."
How does Loblaws how more control over the country that our own PM
Im not persuaded they don't moonlight and play twins now and again for shiggles
Shiggles is my new favourite word.
I live t'absurd
T'absurd is often the best path t'knowledge.
T'absurd t'yonder
But he talked to them! That was going to fix everything, I heard.
This is satire but is also why nobody should feel bad about stealing food. Screw Loblaws.
They balance it between ... raise prices high enough to make profit ... keep it low enough to not cause the pee-ons to riot.
The problem is not completely their fault ... part of the problem is that we are all just willing to keep bending over to allow them screw us as much as they want.
I'm not saying we should start a revolution ... but we should be out in the streets or calling our political reps and basically just causing enough of a protest to affect our country's leadership and corporate heads to do something about all this.
Why though? This will only end up with cops beating people up and the government getting more money from the quasi monopolies in Canada anyway in exchange for putting their people in charge of consumer protection agencies like the CRTC and shit.
The goal of capitalism is to own all the wealth. Anything less is failure in the eyes of the bean-counters. Canada's monopolies will fight tooth and nail to make sure that you own nothing and that you pay them for the privilege.
That's right, it's our fault! We should all go on a grocery strike and stop eating! That'll show 'em!
“People don’t like dying.” Holy shit, if ever a phrase that shows we’re getting fucked cause we need groceries.
It’s satire.
Is it??
The Beaverton is a Canadian satire news site.
It's it really though? Or are they just stating the obvious?
That's like an answer to an interview question.
"So, why are you wanting to work here?"
"Well, I like being able to live, for one,"
Jeezy you know the world is fucked when I couldn't tell if this was satire or not at first glance.
People don't like dying?!?! That totally explains why all my enterprises so far have flopped!! 🤦
That's a low blow, Loblaws.
