  • Price hikes pushing consumers to abandon their favorite brands

  • "We're losing money. People aren't buying our products anymore! What should we do?"

    Shrink the size of the product and increase the cost. That will clearly be the solution!

  • Keep in mind that most off-brand products are literally the same brand name product in a different container.

    In Canada we have a few off brand labels like No Name and Compliments. Take ketchup for example. The off-brand ketchup is literally the same brand name Heinz or French's it's sitting beside, but for $1.50 cheaper. That's because the off brand companies like Wal Mart and Loblaws pay for production cycle time at the main plants. So a run of Heinz ketchup will actually be a run of No Name ketchup. Heinz gets more money for the use of production time than they would selling that line of their own brand ketchup.

    If you're brand loyal to something, you're just willing to pay more for a name, not the thing you want. Sour cream, mayo, toothpaste, even soap is all the exact same as the brand name stuff you're buying.

    Most of the time you can tell where it came from by the production stamp. All companies have their own number so the no name ketchup would have the same product number stamp as the brand name one because it came from the same facility.

    But we can't be bothered to feed people.

  • I could ask the same thing.

    Which team sport is designed around intentionally injuring the other players?

  • How is that more specifically bad vs any other sport with contact built into it, like baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, lacrosse, rugby... Even more individual sports have incidents like curling and tennis.

    Maybe your soft child might be good at golf? But they could strain leg muscles, pull a hip, should injuries are common among golfers...

  • I've played sports my whole life. Never has there ever been a sport where the goal is to "injure the other player".

    Your ignorance is showing. I've accidentally hurt others, and others have unintentionally hurt me. Shit happens. I've torn a muscle in my shoulder from a bad hit in hockey. I've also severely sprained my ankle walking to my driveway. If you want to bubble wrap your kids and protect them from all the harm in the world, enjoy raising a completely incompetent leech on society that is dependant on you their whole life.

  • Elections are held by Elections Canada, not the governing parties. There are constitutional laws that must be followed for elections, such as spending, how long campaigns last for, how/where voting stations are covered, etc.

  • I pray to whatever god wants to listen that you don't have kids. You are a legitimately awful parent.

  • If you conflate "I gave birth to you and fed you, you owe me" with "parenting is hard work", please drop your kids off at the nearest shelter as you are unfit to be a parent.

  • If empathy worked on Conservatives they wouldn't be conservative. They're too stupid to have a conversation. They're too stupid to change their belief because their beliefs that trans people should die, people shouldn't have healthcare, people shouldn't make a living wage, they've made these destructive beliefs their entire personality. And changing that would basically become internal suicide to them.
