Scumbags

fuck them both, absolute trash

Add these companies to my list with Goya, Nestle, Barilla, etc

Barilla is bad?

They're good again

I have to check that out, thank you.

"In a line that sounds like it came fresh out of the playbook of anti-union companies such as Starbucks, the script stated that the company wants 'to be able to work one on one with you without the interference of a union.'”

[uplifting music plays] “Here at Solsuker LLC, you’re special and we want to be your friend…”

We want to be able to work one on one with you so we can identify who you are so that if you raise any complaint about pay or conditions, we know who to fire and replace with someone who won't raise such complaints (if they know what's good for them).

Solidarity is the last thing anyone in power wants to see from us, so perhaps we should cultivate more solidarity. Just as a treat 😄✊

Work with you, one on one, as equals, as friends. 🙄

They're terrified of solidarity on any subject. Solidarity could be our biggest weapon for change, but they've done such a great job of driving wedges between us so that we forget the big picture.

“theydies and gentlethems” My old, puritanical English grammar brain has a very hard time with they/them pronouns. But this is delightful. 😆

It's not mine. I wish I could take credit. I saw someone on twitter use it.

But thanks for bringing it to us.

Don’t they know their last shirt won’t have pockets? What a vile bunch.

They look exactly how you'd imagine...

Central casting right out of an 80s film

Yes! She looks like Joan Collibs from her Dynasty era!

This is an excellent time to remind everyone to follow the United Farm Workers on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/ufw....

Plus, donate if it's within one's means. The exploitation of farm workers is horrifying and getting worse with the climate apocalypse.

I hate those old bitches

ABAB.

Eat the rich

Stewart Resnick is 87 Lynda Resnick is 81 Money really make the obscenely wealthy believe they're gonna live forever.

It's probably just to make sure their children and grandchildren (some of them anyway) the family tradition of cruelty, power usurping, and environmental destruction. There are probably about 300 people doing business here who will only improve the rest of our lives by just fucking dying.

True.

“Now serving number 47”

Despicable

Someone becomes a billionaire pistachio farmer by not paying for labor or water or taxes

The world truly doesn’t need billionaires.

Fuck these assholes.

I'll never understand it. Look at them. They're OLD BILLIONAIRES. What more do they fucking WANT? They cannot POSSIBLY SPEND all the money they have, unless they want to behave like imbeciles with it, which they clearly don't. So what the FUCK. I don't UNDERSTAND these fucking people. Any of them.

I always express it as suffering from the disease of “more”. It’s a pernicious disease that strikes 100% of of billionaires and a much lower percentage of normal people. “More” has no cure and those afflicted with it always die wanting.

No pockets in a shroud, as they say.

No pockets in shrouds? So, designed by a man.

It's not about money. It's about power. The power to crush people like ants. Which goes along with having that much money. Do I guess it is about the money.

Fucking assholes. I hear a submarine is visiting OceanGate maybe they should join them. The orcas will find them

cruise missile these old fucks

Someone should find out where they live, so we can all send them a strongly worded letter, of course.

Why a strongly worded letter and not a Whitman's Sampler candybox filled with extra strength mint chocolate ExLax?

Walking, talking compost tells farmers to fuck off.

Skipping to the front of the guillotine line.

we cannot afford these billionaires. time to eat them
