@trib Good. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out you arsehats.

Although, sadly, the logic of #BecauseCapitalism pretty much dictates that whatever replaces them will be at least as bad.

@ariaflame which is, hopefully, what will keep those programs alive.

Because if they DON’T show that sort of ROI for the companies that keep them then they WILL die. #BecauseCapitalism

i.e. this is the market trending progressive and a corporation choosing to be #ApparentlyProgressive #BecauseMarketingSaysSo and believe that they can make more money this way. #BecauseCapitalism

Whilst this is refreshing to see, remember that Costco are still a corporation and by the logic of #BecauseCapitalism they are preserving their DEI programs #BecauseMarketingSaysSo

@Npars01 @dangillmor @kcarruthers “their billionaire donors” is the operative phrase: they like the for-profit extractive unholy mess that the US has right now, and want it to stay that way. #BecauseCapitalism
@NewtonMark This is why I occasionally use the #BecauseCapitalism hashtag: because this sort of thing is obvious IF you’re prepared to honestly see what’s there and not what you want to be there.

I made an interesting discovery about those Keurig cups: my 'payment' from last Foodbank was a box of cups; I don't have a machine, but with the recent 20% hike in the store price for my lavazza, I accepted the gift and figured I'd just open them up and use the coffee in my DeLonghi.

Each 'cup' contains a third of a scoop more than needed for an espresso.

@Ashedryden This does not surprise me at all - see this #BecauseCapitalism thread where I’ve talked about the underlying #LogicOfCapitalism before: https://mstdn.social/@arcadiagt5/113807929237784446

Reboosting this #BecauseCapitalism thread because of the rollbacks of DEI programs in major companies like Facebook etc… Consider this a periodic reminder that such programs which make corporations #ApparentlyProgressive will only ever exist to the extent that #BecauseMarketing says they are a net positive to the corporation’s bottom line.

Rebooting this #BecauseCapitalism in light of the Laura Loomer business.

Consider it your reminder that whilst corporations like money more than they like racism, they will nevertheless like racism when it suits the market. And won’t like it, when not liking it will make them more money.
