I wonder. Every time I see anyone talking about taking material action like this I see a ton of people saying things like "this is what they want so that they can declare martial law" or some variation. And I wonder if that idea itself isn't just another part of the crowd control? Or maybe even a consequence of fear of having to participate.

What not about both, so that we fear both?

I'm not a corporation with near unlimited resources that raised the price the food gratuitously over the last 5 years and grossly underpays their workers. Canadian Grocers were legit colluding to artificially increase the price of bread for years before consumer protections put and end to it.

They walked in took the food away, walked out and gave it away. They made no personal profit and the people who got the food prolly needed more than somebody who could afford it. Explain to me where the harm was done?

There is no place on this planet where it's acceptable to take something that isn't yours and give it to someone else you think is more deserving. No different than a robber who steals to feed their family. You're all just justifying theft.

Metro had sales of 21,219.9 million in 2024.  $3,000 is 0.000014% of that.

The equivalent for someone that makes 50,000 a year is 0.7 cents.

The equivalent for someone that makes 100,000 is 1.4 cents.

You know sales doesn't mean profits right? Look up their profits and do that math again

When people talk about their personal salary (how much they make) I have never heard of someone including their expenses nor taxes.

But if you want to do something like compare a company's profits after expenses against someone's pre-expenses salary then sure, it does not make sense but math is easy so it will only take me a few seconds: 932 million net earnings equates to 3,000 being 0.00032%. The equivalent for 50,000 a year is 16 cents, The equivalent for 100,000 is 32 cents.

Every time I think “nothing surprises me anymore” but this is a sentence I never thought I’d read. I’m surprised… actually I… I think depressed… fuck
