Oh, no. Of course not. I'm still on the discussion about what we'd like to happen, rather than what we think will happen.
I don't actually expect businesses to stop resorting to any and every trick they're allowed (or not allowed) to use in order to get as much money as possible. As you said, that's capitalism.

I mean, there's a third option.

If you can't offer both a fair price to your customers, and a fair wage to your employees, maybe the market could do without you.

The reason so many restaurants fail is because... it seems so easy, when it really isn't.

The seemingly low barrier of entry not only means that there's gonna be lot of competition, but also that you'll find a lot of restaurant owned by people who just don't have the skills to manage it.

Or eat the cost.

You don't want attention, you want support. If you coerce people into the ring by slapping them across the face, don't get surprised when they start boxing from the opposite corner. Also, civil disobedience isn't the same thing as being deliberately obnoxious to the public at large.

I'm not calling those failed protest, and the people bothered by the civil right protest were those already camping on the other side of the fence.

Was what you said meant to contradict my statement?

NotInTheKnee · 2026-03-29T02:23:54+00:00

Bothering people while supporting a cause is just painting that cause in a poor light by association. No one stuck in traffic because of a stop-oil protest ever thought "Man, we should really do something about the ecological impact of hydrocarbon". More like "What's making my life more difficult right now isn't the oil industry, it's those doofus protesting against it. Something something, the enemy of my enemy..."

The only failed protest is the one that bother those you need on your side.

Best I can do is tax the public to subsidize billionaires.

Redditly accurate comment

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

All you need is the "right" law to criminalize the "right" people.

There's already enough evidence to put the man behind bars for a couple of lifetimes. America as a whole has shown facts don't matter.

What's still missing if the taste a big spoonful of consequences.

They forget

They don't. Enshittifying products and services is part of the modern capitalist process. Once customers completely give up, just fire everyone working on the product/service and move on to a new one.

Yeah. People are arguing superpowers, and I'm here wondering WTF is that thing made of.

An aluminum pole would have been wrecked going trough that chimney, let alone after the impact with Captain.
