It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Is this also in reference to the bazinga-powered on-site price gouging that's starting to come into vogue in numerous grocery stores?

Opposing that makes you a communist. If that was so, that'd be a lot of new communists. sicko-wistful

Grocery stores operate on razor thin margins

doubt

Even if they are somebody in the supply chain most definitely isn't operating on razor thin margins.

I heard the same bullshit about game corporations, the kind that use double-residency trickery to pay no taxes and then get a tax refund, such as Activision-Blizzard.

Despite operating on razor-thin margins they still make record profits after throwing out half their inventory every day

Love worrying about "loss prevention" while half of the fresh stock we have is thrown into the trash.

exactly, its financial engineering. that way they avoid paying taxes meanwhile their offshore companies get insane margins.
