      What a great idea! The store has to write off a loss AND has to buy more of the product. The only winner is the company you try to sabotage because thanks to you they have a higher revenue and possibly profit.

        Depends on the store. Some big store like Walmart and even smaller ones like gas stations operate essentially on consignment for large sections of the store.

        They’ll have a Coca-Cola section on the shelves that’s reserved for Coke products and are even stocked by Coca-Cola employees, and Coke is paid when the store sells the product.

        There are also brands that pay for their products specifically to be separated from the competition. For instance, if you go to the chip aisle, and you’ll find Tostito’s queso with the Tostidos chips. That queso isn’t located with the other cheese dips on the condiment aisle, because they pay for the stores not to have their impulse-buy products located where a customer can easily look and see that the other brand is 1/2 the price.

    I did not realise that healthcare companies can also have their faces eaten by leopards, considering who Trump appointed on NIH 🤣🤣🤣

    It’s cool, I’ve never heard of most of them. It probably means that they’re the owners of all the stuff in my cupboards though.

    Private prison companies CoreCivic and GEO Group each donated $500,000, potentially positioning themselves to benefit from Trump’s planned immigration policies. GEO Group’s executive chairman, George Zoley, explicitly acknowledged these benefits, stating: “We believe that the private sector will play a critical role in assisting the government in carrying out its objectives…The GEO Group was built for this unique moment in our country’s history and the opportunities that it will bring.”

    Absolutely heinous

      added to list, although from the article this was a personal donation from Cook himself, Apple itself was not expected to make any donations.

      In the article, it’s explained why Trump did it. When Trump was first elected, he also maintained a cordial relationship with him to secure benefits for Apple. Is this something to praise? Absolutely no! But is it understandable? For me, it is. Tim Cook also made a statement defending Apple’s core values of equanimity and equality, even after Trump halted equality policies in American companies. You should check what Google and Meta said instead.

    Thanks, as a Canadian it’s appreciated. I’ll print this off after I look for any additions others mention and then post it on my fridge and Joplin.
