"Inflation is not about the dude at Arby's who got a 50 cent raise 3 months ago or a $1400 check 3 years ago. It's about corporations making record profits by ripping-off Americans so CEOs can spend trillions on stock buybacks & dividends. It's about corporate greed, boss."

'This is why we can't have nice things': Publix customer slams TikTokers ordering free wedding cake samplers, says trend 'ruined' experience for actual engaged couples
Judd Legum asks why, when Publix was selling just as many opioid prescriptions in Florida as CVS, two successive state attorney generals, both Republicans, went after CVS, Walgreen's, and Walmart for selling opioids, but not Publix.

This is why we can’t have nice things: #Publix store no. 1116, Nashville TN. I counted more than 20 gun titles. That’s more than home decorating, travel, music and other “lifestyle” magazines. And look where they are placed: by fan mags for Lord of the Rings, word puzzles, games, and THE GOONIES fer crying out loud. WTF? This is gun porn. It needs to be treated like Playboy and Penthouse — behind the counter, if at all.
"Restructuring as a #CoOp has saved other #Baltimore businesses, too, including the pizzeria Joe Squared and Taharka Brothers Ice Cream, both of which received capital from BRED to make their transition. The cooperative model of workplace democracy and collective decision-making also creates more sustainability and predictability for workers."
Hey #Publix: When YOUR brand of sliced cheddar cheese in a 16oz package is now $9.99, and YOUR brand of shredded cheddar cheese is $10.99 for 2 lbs, something is wrong with that!
