Remember, kids - when you boycott a business for being “woke”, you’re a patriot with strong moral values. When you cancel a business for “bigotry”, you’re ruining the economy, and part of the reason this country is going to hell.

There's no end to the irony that the same boomers who demand that "the customer is always right," also tell me I'm consuming wrong.

I think it's time to include Gen Z. They are ruining things like us, according to Boomers.

Capitalist is a nebulous term. While I guess you could use it to describe freelance journalists pushing out low effort schlock because they get paid on quantity and rent is due, I think that's kinda ridiculous.

I think the term "Capitalist" would apply to employees determining how to profit off changing consumer interests.

But capitalism bad!

I agree though, the more correct term to use would be boomers.

I read it as people who support capitalism deciding who to blame

The button on the left should say "adults aged 18-35 are buying less ____ because of ethical concerns/recent health findings/changing values/rising CoL/better alternatives (pick one)" and the bottom panel should say "clickbait journalists"

My bad... I guess I figured people could digest 3 lines of text without it being pasted over meme template

[–] rigatti 1 points 9 months ago

Ooh you should make a meme about that.

Market changes and corrections tend to leave businesses that can't keep up unhappy.

Sweating because of how often they have to hit both of them, no doubt.
