two anti-union companies
Everyone forgets MLK was killed while taking part in a union strike.
The white washing of MLK is crazy sometimes. They honestly be trying to say he was pro capitalism.
I have a dream! A dream of a future where chronic obesity, hypertension and diabetes know no color and we can all be equal under the crushing weight of healthcare debt!
also union busting and nestle products!
White women with three different baby daddy's probably use this as a hunting ground... Catch and release of course. (I'm black, and Bruh a white single mom that fetishizes black men be scary aggressive.)
I’m white and I hate Starbucks and LOVE Popeyes chicken. I’m doing my part!
have you ever thought that maybe its the blacks that like starbucks and the whites like popeyes? /j
Well yeah, sure. But nobody should like Starbucks
I moved to uni last week (freshman) and the amount of times I have heard "were going to Starbucks" (there's one on campus) is absurd. It's like they've never heard of a boycott before.
Like I'm not even that invested with my boycotts, I'll still go to target for a pair of pants and buy groceries from Walmart despite knowing they're horrible companies. I am a chronic Monster Energy consumer and still use Instagram. I just block out the things that are easy to replace like Nestle products or using a different web browser & search engine (still on the fence about Linux).
But at least when I buy from a shitty company I feel guilty about it, they just have no comprehension that it might not be a good thing. I assume a LARGE part of that is because this is Florida, a red state where all of American history is just taught as "freedom!!" without really going into the details about what your rights are and what a union is. Hell, last WEEK I learned that the Mormons created an entire U.S. state (Utah).
Out of a show of hands for an icebreaker out of like ~50 people in a room only TWO had android phones, myself included. That was pretty crazy to me.
despite that though I found a group of friends and somehow all 3 of us have android phones and all of us have side loaded apps. Both of them aren't in comp sci either so that was a fun surprise. Pretty funny how we just converged without knowing lol
Regarding Utah, if Brigham Young had gotten his way, Utah would have been the State of Deseret and these were his proposed borders:
wbut the fuck
A very involved answer to my very shallow, snarky comment. I just meant that Starbucks simply sucks and I hate the snooty arrogance of the place. It’s a shitty product wrapped in pretension and high prices. But the kids, they love their hot milkshakes.
Anyway, yeah it’s a shitty company but what isn’t these days. I have my own things I boycott (hilariously, any and all Google and Meta products/software) but at the end of the day you could not exist in modern society if you boycott every shitty company.
We at that Popeyes We at that Starbucks
We at that combination Popeyes and Starbucks!
I'm at that Starfucks. I'm at that Cockeye's. I'm at the combination Starfucks and Cockeye's.
JargonWagon, his eyes uncovered.
Is the joke "haha fried chicken"? Reminds me of that Australian KFC ad
Not really. Popeyes specifically is more popular with black people, supposedly. Probably more of a location thing than anything else.
Personally I think Bojangles is better but it's simple fact they're both better than the genocidal crackers at Chick-fil-A and Cane's.
Is Cane's specifically linked to genocide? Idk but it feels like a safe assumption.
Popeyes specifically is more popular with black people...
I don't know if this is true, but it should be more popular with everyone.
I'm lucky enough to have all 3 nearby.
Popeyes has the best fries, hands down. They should become the standard all other fries are measured against. Their chicken is the best IMHO, but not such a clear standout from Canes. Canes has the best dipping sauce, and that Texas toast is magical on its own. They make a decent cole-slaw too. IMHO their tenders are a little under-seasoned, but they're very consistent with breading and texture. Bojangles is last on my list. I had them once and was not impressed enough with any aspect of the meal to warrant a second trip.
i also hear that it's fried chicken as a whole that's more popular, however I work at a grocery store and I haven't seen that much of a ratio of black people buying fried chicken.
I do only work at one store, and don't even work in the self checkout though, so my data is probably biased.
I will say however, our store has little fried chicken bites about the size of a popped popcorn and it's mostly children who eat them.
Isn't fried chicken just tasty?
