GalacticMelt Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Personal gripes get in the way when the money you spend at the store is funding the oppression of a whole class of people. Unfortunately nearly every organization falls into this category in some way, from restaurants to retail chains to computer companies, whether it be employing kids overseas in sweatshops, funding questionable programs, politics, etc. You'd be hard pressed to find one that's 100% decent across the board. Buy what you from from where you want, and if someone thinks otherwise, well, that's the beauty of a democracy. TFP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalacticMelt Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I only get papa johns when they have some kind of weird specialty pizza. It's usually bad Agreed. The crust tastes like cardboard and their prices aren't all that great anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I've actually traced a lot of products back to their corporate owners and ceased buying them immediately. Fuck anything that puts money into Nestle's hands. It's honestly a really important thing to do. soundofsilver, jhook and monklover 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 maybe i missed something. why do people hate papa john's so much? Their CEO is the epitome of "greedy piece of shit 1%er" He owns a giant mansion with a fleet of luxary cars, but believes his employees shouldn't have healthcare and cut everyone's hours to avoid being required to provide healthcare. He's anti-gay and just a fucking shithead. jhook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Papa John's pizza sucks, and the dude is scum. A driver for them got robbed and shot last night here in town, but I doubt they care. What a shitty company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalacticMelt Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 maybe i missed something. why do people hate papa john's so much? I don't know anything about their politics, I just know their pizza is terrible. Tried it a few times throughout the years and the crust sucks, the topping aren't fresh and the prices aren't good either. But, that's just my opinion. Also the owner looks really creepy in those commercials. He looks like a robotic mannequin. Maybe it's because he's wearing too much foundation, hard to say.

I know it's impossible to be 100% free from any sort of corporation but I feel like I do a small part. Even if MY personal contribution doesn't mean much, I believe it matters. Where your money goes, no matter how big/small the amount, matters. The more people who feel this way, the more good it will do. Like, the CEO of Nestle believes that WATER isn't a human right. He's done a lot of shit because of that, but at a very base level just think about that. He believes that having clean drinking water isn't something that people have a right to have. If this piece of sentient garbage could find a way to charge people for air, he would GalacticMelt and jhook 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck anything that puts money into Nestle's hands. It's honestly a really important thing to do. I remember seeing some pretty large infographic a few years back with the spiderweb of ownership traced back to Nestle, Kellogg, Post, Coca-Cola, and the like. I'm surprised people can avoid their reach, half the time, and damn impressed when they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhook Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 I didn't start caring about stuff until my late 20's. I got involved in my union and did some volunteer work at a job training center. These mega corporations don't give a fuck about you. You might save a buck on some Oreos but eventually it's going to come around and you will understand how fucking horrible it is to support them.

We had just bought a stockpile so even though this was 6 months ago we still haven't figured out how to replace it. We're pretty sure we're going to transition the cats to a raw meat diet because all the canned cat food can be traced somewhere terrible.

I fostered a couple of dogs last year, and kept them strictly on a raw diet, of good vegetables, meat, and eggs. I would definitely recommend it, versus the alternative.

cantdance Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Nestle is the obvious choice for me. I try to avoid coca-cola but I have a weakness unfortunately. Wal-Mart is too convenient for me now but I plan on stopping when I'm older. I've now stopped shopping at Urban Outfitters as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
