This is probably a bit circle jerky, but I remember when my mom would buy groceries for an entire month and was devastated that it cost $100 (for a family of 4). We lived in a small town in the middle of nowhere but it’s still crazy to imagine getting that much out of that little these days
Go and check what the money printers are doing and then decide if you think one major grocer is causing inflation. Maybe they impacted it but it wasn’t caused by them.
This life is not real. We are each a flit of an image in an Eldritch God’s dream. Life is meaningless. There is a reason that our central nervous system looks like a jellyfish-type thing. It is because we are truly made in our slumbering god’s image and our bodies are only vessels to hide this image from other, awake gods. The god only knows slumber. And memes.
But what makes a meme, a meme? Or funny in this case. Most if not all good memes have to be relatable, so your meme is kinda related to real life. I mean, for some people, your meme is relatable in their life.
So many would like to say no when asked for donations but didn’t for whatever reason? Hard to argue on this one since it’s subjective, but personally, I surely wouldn’t find it difficult to say ‘no thanks’.
I’m sorry you have to endure that man child’s populist politics :/
But I wouldn’t consider Snickers to be a cheap dinner either. For the same money you can easily buy some rice and a few veggies and have an actual dinner instead.
To preempt the inevitable: no, companies do not take your donations and then use them as a tax write off to somehow profit. That's a myth. That's not how taxes work. Those donations are yours and you can claim them on your taxes. Yes, really.
It’s not the tax write off. It’s that the companies like to white wash their image though these types of charities at the counter. They could just donate a portion of their profits instead. I don’t need my charitable donations to be impulse purchases when I’m trying to grab some milk.
They’ll also use the customer donations in their own marketing materials with carefully chosen wording.
“We put $X in the hands of X charity!” Sounds cute, until you realize why they don’t say they “donated $X” instead. It’s because it’s often not their money or donation.
