To be excited about shopping is a false need of relief that replaces achievment and gives momentary satisfacton. Big money love it. Be aware
abacab87
Yea, I don't understand it, and I can buy much nicer things and better quality at second-hand stores.

Businesses were actually reticent about making and selling face masks because they didn't want to be seen profiting from the pandemic.
serpentinebaboo
Not all of them. Those Copper Fit snake oil salesmen had copper infused face masks on the market almost immediately. $30 for 2. Assholes.

When the lockdown is over, they can launch partici-pants

Who the fuck is gonna buy jeans during lockdown? I haven't worn real pants in weeks.
Oilfieldangel
I don't own jeans anyway. I haven't worn real pants in years, if jeans are real pants.
RealPenguin
So... unreal pants? Fake pants? Make-believe pants?
Oilfieldangel
No pants? Pjs seem to be popular right now.

Karen-jeans? …OK I'm gonna start referring to all the Karen memes as Karentine.

I am being hit by marketing companies that say they have advertising grants. It’s basically a 50% discount off their regular rates.

For those not in the loop, spend the next 30 minutes watching KUNG FURY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS5P_LAqiVg

Thank you for this.

Get the fuck out, that's awesome :D
itsthevoiceman
I did! And Arnie did an AMA a few months ago on reddit about it. Was pretty cool.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
That was absolutely glorious. Is it supposed to be satire or is this that bollywood genius?
WorkerLurker
It’s satire and a revisit to the 80s
ChrisThrasher
So glad this movie is free online.

On steam it‘s also available for zero

About 2% of the world's population dies every year
Orcus424
Why should we want more to die that don't need to?
HumanFromPlanetEarth
We wouldn't
captainafterbirth
yea and only like 3000 people died in 911, what's your point?

1/3rd of my penis is medically safe
Bigbabylons
So about cm then?
Strangedays2024
Small penis jokes aside. What makes it unsafe is it barbed or are there pincers like Superman?
HumanFromPlanetEarth
Just wanted the world to know you're a cunt.
serpentinebaboo
Some serious irony in that comment.
captainafterbirth
because I showed you how embarassing your logic is?
DoorCellar
Seems like you've let the world know you're a cunt instead. Which is considerate I guess.
m00nWatcher
Giving them something to be excited about is cool, but they’re not doing it for a “small” profit, and therein lies the problem.

illogicalphallusies
depends on the industry. many things have razor thin margins, especially when you factor in shipping costs, storefront cost, advertising 1/2
illogicalphallusies
2/2 cost of employees...etc, I worked at a subway that made $6200/day on average. Owner kept ~$400/day After expenses, but before tax
illogicalphallusies
3/2 also worked at "warehouse one", a jean store, owner wasnt swimming in cash either....
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
What size profit is okay then?
atalleywak5
Why do broke people who whine about wealth and capitalism think they're qualified to determine what level of profit is appropriate?
Partnerd
Good question
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
I'm just asking
Partnerd
The "eat the rich" crowd would say zero. Govt run companies at zero profit, ie socialism
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
Govt run companies can have an overhead used to pay for salaries, maintenance, R&D and investment, but it's not the same as profit.
Eli93
The profit isn't the sole problem. It is profit at the cost of other people's basic needs. Capitalism is inherently exploitative.
huskerjess
But this post isn't about basic needs??
Partnerd
Too engage in voluntary transactions and employment? If you don't like the job, find another. Same with product/service
CyberAkuma
That, and it's not like they are doing it for the sake of making people happy while managing to make a profit, they are doing it (1/2)
CyberAkuma
first and foremost for profit and people being happy is just a side-effect, a side-effect they did marketing research on to exploit. (2/2)
Potatopeelerkind
I don't think that's the main problem. That's how buying and selling works- you produce something useful and get money in exchange. The 1
Potatopeelerkind
problem as I see it is the unethical way a lot of this stuff is produced. Their actual motives don't matter that much. 2
CyberAkuma
I mean, the problem here is that they are taking advantage of a crisis where people are suffering to profit off of that suffering.
AmArschdieRaeuber
Intention doesn't really matter, it's the result that matters. And the results are sweat shops and overpriced consumer goods.
mmartin762
Personal opinion: 9/10 times when marketing "discovers" something that "creates value for consumers" it neither discovered anything nor 1/2
mmartin762
created value for anyone but themselves, instead replace "discover" with "made up" and "creates value for consumers" with "a scam". 2/2
mmartin762
I know it's unpopular opinion but I think marketing, no matter how you twist it, is an inherently manipulative and scummy business.
