FYI
Galen Weston, the asshole Canadian billionaire mentioned, lives in a fucking castle that was built for the British royal family. https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/21072968/forgotten-royal-castle-windsor/
Weston is also involved in real estate, (PCREIT) like many other billionaires.
This is also why you can't afford rent, or buy a house.
Galen Weston made 500 million in profit (in ONE quarter) as he gouged Canadians during the pandemic. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/loblaw-revenue-q4-2022-1.6757480
Their shitty in house brand coffee went from 7.99 to 19.99 per tin.
A box of 400g cereal at one of their shoppers drug mart brand stores will cost you $8 now.
A tub of 454g(1lb) margarine $8.
They've previously been found guilty of price fixing bread. (Weston co. makes breads) https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/bread-price-fixing-loblaw-1.6719884
The Weston family is a cancer on this land.
Edit: the other cancer is the Irving family. They own Cavendish, Irving oil, owned ALL the media in the maritimes - all, and love destroying ocean, forest, and farmland. https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Group_of_Companies
Repeat after me, all billionaires are evil because the reason they're billionaires is because you're getting overcharged for whatever they're selling you, you're just so used to it that you assume you're getting your money's worth but that's subjective and based on your purchasing experiences, if you're always overcharged then you have no way to evaluate what your money is truly worth!
I agree 100%. It gave me an idea - a website showing the true cost of common items. For example, what does it cost for an industrial bakery to bake, package, and ship a loaf of bread?
Even if people knew how much they were getting ripped off, what are they supposed to do about it? What is the alternative?
If every brand of bread in the store is sold at a insane markup, and you need bread, what do you? Make your own? That's a hit or miss process that can take a while if you don't have a fancy bread maker. They either need to save to get a bread maker or find time between their maybe 2 or 3 jobs to make the bread.
Add the Desmarais to your list
Oh wow that's not even the US. 340 years, that's cute.
Elon Musk is estimated by Forbes at $227 billion (and there's many more like Bezos and Zuck with only slightly less money). His annual pay is complicated, but if we divide that up by year since he entered the workforce in about 1995, it comes out to $7.8 billion/year.
The average salary in the US is about $64,000. So to make what Elon (roughly) makes in a year, the average American worker would need to work about 122,000 years. By this time the constellations we currently observe in the night sky will be unrecognizable.
broke uneducated GOP are thoroughly indoctrinated to believe "illegals" are causing all their problems, without a single thought about the (also GOP) business owners who hire those illegals under the table, thus giving them a reason to come here in the first place
This in Canada, BTW, but I s'pose that doesn't invalidate your general statement.
I can confirm, work for manufacturing, owners hire people for $16/hr contract (min wage where I am) no benefits through third parties (who get paid $32+/hr to hire them.) The workers overwhelmingly do not speak English. Many, MANY of the workers use stolen SSNs or their relatives SSNs for employment. Everyone including the owners who work here in the home office are open republicans with very few exceptions and they'll all blame immigrants while themselves getting paid wayyyyy more than $16/hr.
I have seen this firsthand. Same owners are going to be dropping 9 figures to acquire a subdivision of another very large company. The nepotism is fucking insane and many executives are skimming money and hiring friends and family for vendors. Private company swimming in cash with tons and tons of mismanaged projects and zero budgets.
Anyone have this in a pdf? Id like to post these in my town
This is an excellent flyer.
can you steal something from someone who had stolen it?
I love that website this person in Canada created. They took the available open data from Stats Canada and made a website that shows all the businesses that applied for LMIA.
I'm convinced the extreme inflation post-COVID was caused by greedy companies realizing that many working-class families had managed to save and build a nest-egg during quarantine, and that they could jack up prices on necessities to bleed them all dry.
If inflation had been the result of wage growth increasing the price of labor, profit margins wouldn't have soared they way they did.
I also think they got scared by the anti work movement and the way suddenly it was very hard to find employees, so they wanted to make it impossible for them not to.
Is this AI generated? The smaller text looks weird, and the text on that pillar plate looks.... very odd indeed.
It's all...swimmy and mushy and gooey o.O
Not that I'm disagreeing with sentiment, but if this isn't AI generated then someone's put it through some sort of AI filtering process, for some reason.
