“We want to make sure that we’re not leaving any pricing on the table. We want to take as much as we can.”
—CFO of Constellation Brands, producer of popular beers like Corona and Modelo
Corporate price gouging has gotten so bad that they aren't even trying to hide it anymore.
@Adam_Cadmon1 Oo, I just watched a Philosophy tube about that mindset.
@Adam_Cadmon1 No offense taken. Life is strange and our current existence even stranger living in the most anomalous time in human history. My job gave me a double slap, told me I'm the 2nd best sales person in the company and then also told me no raise after 2 years without one.
I'm disenfranchised and mad.
@Adam_Cadmon1 I guess it's just that whole paintbrush thing, we generalize and put labels on all these words and people without looking at the base systems that brought us here. We ignore the neoliberalism push in the 80s and just say CEOs are the problem, we ignore the super rich and just complain about mega corps.
I don't know, I'm just feeling burnt out my dude.

@markhburton Where I work I get questioned constantly by people because I'm wearing a mask. At this point I have a bingo card at my station to recored how many comments I get a day.
Meanwhile, every day I get customers in saying, "I just had covid." Most are proud, many use 'Plandemic' language and mock my use of mitigation, some of these people have had covid over 6 times since 2020, I have yet to catch it and I'm trying to keep that streak alive.
So few people care. 😂😂😭😭😭
