Even if you had a system that could … the average mind isn’t able to process and remember that many items of data … there’s a reason why they came up with seven digit phone numbers decades ago … most people are capable of recalling on average about seven numbers in a sequence … anything beyond that takes more training … anything beyond about a hundred things takes years of memory training … and anything beyond a thousand things is a one a million freak ability combined with training.

This is exactly how taxation, regulation and control of corporations should work.

Anyone and any company is free to do what they want, even if it means negatively affecting the health of people, as long as governments are able to penalize them appropriately for the damage they cause.

If we don’t do this … then we are just rewarding companies for destroying society and the more they do it, the more likely they will continue doing negative things and even more destructive things because they know it will make them money without any consequences.

It’s like a slow moving tide. People keep asking if there’s going to be a flood while walking around in waist deep water.

After years of being told I was part Cherokee, someone was mad that I wasn't. (lemmy.world)

He is now denying the validity of dna tests. I don’t want to say the past 35 years of having him treat me worse than he treats his sister had anything to do with his assumptions of my dna, but he was upset to learn that I am more Irish than him. I wonder what he thought of my mother before these results…

I’m up in northern Ontario in Canada and I had a French Canadian neighbor who loved watching John Wayne movies. He often told me that he had Cherokee ancestry too.

I told him a hundred times that this wasn’t Cherokee territory because I was full blooded Ojibwe Cree from this area and we had never heard of Cherokee. I kept telling him that he was probably part Ojibwe or Algonquin which is who the French mixed with in our area … but he really wanted to be a John Wayne movie Indian.

This is funny because the satire is like reality but the reality is too sad … which is why this is funny … because it’s supposed to be sad.

They look delicious but they smell horrible … they smell like 1980s DuMaurier cigarette smoke, spilled beer and hard liquor.

If they aren’t the problem … then the boycott shouldn’t be a problem for them then.

If you’ve done nothing wrong, then nothing bad should happen to you.

If anything on Weston’s part … it’s an admission that they do have something to do with all this. If their profits are so good, a boycott wouldn’t be so threatening to them. But the possibility of a boycott has them scared so they have to make a statement about it all.

And a boycott to his business wouldn’t exactly hurt his wealth or endanger his life any way. A major well organized boycott could probably severely affect his businesses to the point of shutting some of them down … but I don’t see that happening. More than likely, the boycott will be a half-hearted attempt by Canadians and it will just mean a small decrease in the company’s profits.

In the end the boycott will just mean his family wealth will be $8,399,000,000 instead of $8,400,000,000

I don’t think it will cause his family to lose their ability to eat … unlike many Canadians across the country who can’t afford to buy their own food.

It’s also psychotic when you think about it … his family is already worth $8 billion … but they all have a perpetual need to make even more profits regardless if it means starving people have to pay more for the food they sell.

If I had $1,000 and a box of food and someone with little money came up to me wanting to buy some of my food for $1 and I instead told them it was $2 just because I could … everyone would look at me like a stingy heartless prick.

A billionaire does it with millions of people every day and it’s just called business.

My example is an imaginary hypothetical … Loblaws and the Weston family do it in real life … and somehow that is more acceptable than some imaginary story I could come up with.

In about a hundred years … shareholders will weigh the dead bodies of consumers to see how much more profit they can render from a lifeless corpse.

beautiful … great organization and advocacy group to tag too

We should be celebrating and promoting a world where we encourage those at the bottom rather than giving away our wealth to those who need it the least.

I’d be worried about having Marvin as my second in command … he’s always looking for the loud Kaboom … the loud earth shattering Kaboom!

… and I wouldn’t mind if our Canadian government wants to keep the damned oligopoly if they could just tax the hell out of it and stop giving them government hand outs
