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 [email protected]

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

there's a new company out there that exists specifically to secure food waste from dumpster diving. it's more sophisticated then the old pour bleach or use padlocks. they basically come take it away and to a secure facility to dispose of it. their motto is "Preserving the Value of Food".

And anaerobic digestion isn’t going to sequester carbon. It just creates methane.

If anything needs a modern update / remake / modern docuseries.

Since most Americans have a couple of years of extra padding, the best approach might be to encourage reduced consumption; higher prices for food and beverages could curb waste and excess.

Yeah let’s make fresh fruits and vegetables more expensive, that’ll improve the health of Americans centrist

eco-porky The price gouging is for your benefit!

Hungry Americans expect you to lower food prices the minute you are in the White House. However, this directive may not be necessary as the hunger issue will soon resolve itself.

some will afford food, some will perish, and the market will stabilize. the invisible hand wins again

speech-rubi-r-1 "actually the poor are fat, and so when you think about it going hungry might be kinda good for them!" speech-rubi-r-3 capitalist-laugh
this is just the bald-face PR (ie. propaganda) of a razor-toothed sociopath to hand-waive rising food costs against stagnant wages (ie. falling real wages), not realizing they're sharpening the guillotines with every word.

Are they really saying “food is too expensive, so buy an even more expensive drug that keeps you from being hungry”?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

It seems contradictory until the real position comes into focus: “give me more money. now. eco-porky

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Yep. Truly incredible. This is that capitalist "innovation" they talk about

I don’t see how this could be interpreted in any way other than “the savage filthy ungrateful poors troubling us so will soon finally depart this mortal plane porky-happy

Those drugs also cause serious health problems and death, from what I've read.

“There is, and always has been, a widespread belief among the more comfortable classes that the poverty and suffering of the masses are due to their lack of industry, frugality, and intelligence. This belief, which at once soothes the sense of responsibility and flatters by its suggestion of superiority, is probably even more prevalent in countries like the United States, where all men are politically equal, and where, owing to the newness of society, the differentiation into classes has been of individuals rather than of families, than it is in older countries, where the lines of separation have been longer, and are more sharply, drawn."

Even liberals realize this stench anywhere

Since most Americans have a couple of years of extra padding, the best approach might be to encourage reduced consumption; higher prices for food and beverages could curb waste and excess. Once we adjust, the food industry will no longer need to rely on hormones to boost production.

Riiiiight.....because EVERYONE knows there's no such thing as food deserts! It's so much EASIER to prescribe everyone some wunderdrug and keep food a luxury good than it is to break up monopolies! Not only will that make the money sad, but it might also GASP.....have CHALLENGES!

My sister in Christ, you want to "save us poors from ourselves"? How about you and the rest of your rich friends plummet your property values in walkable cities so us poors can walk everywhere! Or IDK, just ban addictive chemicals that are added to foodstuffs?

And there's one industry that will definitely boom—the apparel industry. As everyone sheds weight, they'll need new wardrobes. Come your next campaign, you'll face supporters who are leaner, better dressed, and happier.

Fuck you. "You will own nothing and be happy" ahh article.

It sucks how GLP-1 agonists are probably one of the most significant medical breakthroughs of our generation, affecting a wide range of diseases from diabetes to chronic pain, but because we live under late stage capitalism we only care about the weight loss effect.
