              According to Scalia, a punishment must be cruel and unusual to be unconstitutional. Foldgers may be cruel, but it’s not unusual. Go for it.

        To be honest, it’s not so much shitty companies, but shitty purchasing decisions

        I wouldn’t buy any products from any brands listed there because I know they’re cheap, over-processed junk. Literally everything there.

        If you’re buying that stuff because it’s cheaper, you need to learn about nutrition. You can get far more calories/nutrients/minerals/protein from slightly more expensive products, costing you less overall

          …? Did you even look at the picture? That’s 60-70%+ of the brands in any major retailer. It a bit of an oversight to suggest that poor decision making is leading to buying from these shit companies. You have to actually go out of your way to NOT buy one of these brands.

      I’m still on the buycott for Kelloggs after they dropped breittbart so all I buy is special k. Unless they’ve changed something since then.

      Edit. Looking it up, looks like they were doing alrightish but then they busted a union. On the other hand Post is working with trump, and general mills has been working with Israeli settlements. I guess you can go with some small brands. I’ll still buy Kelloggs until I hear they change paths on breitbart since it’s what I’d been doing.

      Yet it’s that fat fuck’s lack of attention to pandemic profiteering that led to the inflation. The last 4 years have been trying to mitigate the effects of his half-assed handling of the situation.

          It just seems to be how it goes. It’s the same here in Australia. The conservatives fuck everyone who is not already wealthy, then the progressive get elected just long enough to get blamed for how fucked everything is, and the conservatives get elected again because they’re “superior economic managers”.

          The last three Democratic presidents. Clinton inherited the massive debt run up by Reagan and Bush I, and in just six years not only eliminated the deficit but also started producing a fucking surplus. If that sort of financial responsibility had been continued instead of being thrown in the trash by Bush II and Dick “Reagan proved that deficits don’t matter” Cheney, we would have eliminated the national debt years ago.

      I don’t know if those companies had any say in whether their products were used, but this wasn’t supposed to be for advertising. It was supposed to be a gimmick for what was stated to be a message on the economy, but the orange atrocity personified saw a squirrel and the whole address ended up being the same whiny bullshit.
