If he really wanted to do capitalism then he'd be charging the kids for them
Are you saying that this guy doesn't even BASIC ECONOMICS 🤔
Anyway, bring back r/punchablefaces for this guy specifically.
*and call the cops on any kids who do not pay, gotta start 'em off young.
Capitalism, famous for distributing free unlimited treats to everyone.
Supports capitalism yet does not write the words in big capital letters. Liberal hypocrisy at its finest.
Can buy 200 dollars in candy but I can't buy a 100 dollar printer
Lmao this is the dumbest thing I have seen. Where is the link to bully this person
Also all of those are just capitalism because the expropriation of resources and materials like chocolate, having workers manufacturing it and stealing their surplus labor, whatever materials they need to make the wrappers, the shipping of the product, the store workers to stock it, etc.
This is slightly off topic, but do people really means test giving away candy? I see posts online about explaining why certain kids do it older, don't wear a costume, etc, but I just don't know if that happens or it's preemptive. Am I making up a person to be mad at or do these dogs exist?
Yeah I lived in a gated suburban neighborhood full of McMansions for a couple years as a kid and some of my neighbors had a stash of smaller candy for kids they didn't think lived there. Okay Sheryl you're a dermatologist and you need to save $50 making sure the pours aren't eating your good candy?
kids they didn't think live there
I wonder what they possibly could have used as a basis for determining who "should" be there :thonk:
Wtf, they're already giving away free candy, which is objectively cool. Why do they have to introduce racially segregated candy bowls?
I remember being that kid who either didn't have a costume or a really shitty one thrown together and some adults would give me shit for it although they were somewhat rare. It's definitely a real thing, at least where I'm from.
Jesus, sorry to hear that. Halloween just seems so wholesome to me. Just stop by my house and get free candy. Some kids get to dress up like their favorite super heroes and shit. It's just nice. People are deranged. Why even participate if you're gonna be an ass? Just turn your porch light off.
Eh, it was pretty rare all things considered. One or two crotchety old people in a night of fun didn't really bother me. But it is why I give plenty out to everyone who comes by now that I'm an adult.
Which sucks extra cause clearly you're the one who needs it most at that point
I dressed as the doctor from Dr. Who as a kid once. People gave me crap for just wearing a suit. This is why I never once question kids' costumes on Halloween, and give extra if they do something rare or interesting. It also means I am this close to having a breakdown whenever I am cosplaying and have to deal with someone who I know won't get it.
Shouldn't he being charging kids for the king sized ones at an inflated cost than he got them from the dollar store and the socialist candy is free?
Yes Capitalism is when you spend your excess income on treats to be used as a propaganda tool to a targeted pool of youth of your same class, knowing that not a single poor kid will get one of those candy bars because they don't live in your neighborhood.
That or he bought it all, has no intention of handing it out and just ends up eating it himself or more likely throwing it away. And what is more capitalistic than hoarded a bunch of wealth to buy candy, only to be used in a strange display of wealth and then thrown away.
PLOT TWIST: The "capitalist" candy has razor blades and needles in it.
KING-SIZE DOUBLE-FUN TWIST: they're actually just metal shards and shavings from the candy-manufacturing machines that are poorly maintained because quarterly earnings reports must show ever larger profits!
Also why does every app that starts with the letter P have the same fucking logo
These are literally all from one single graphic design textbook that came out in the 60s or 70s and included tons of logos that ended up in the public domain during the next decades. The same textbook also included the bluetooth icon, the squiggly thing on the cmd button of Apple keyboards, and the logos for air bnb and beats by dre.
If we're lifting designs from a book, please capitalism I beg you pick an interesting book: https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/collections/lanimal-dans-la-dcoration#/?tab=about
He was a French art nouveau designer. Studied under Eugene Grasset, who also did the same kind of pattern book with plants. That's where the movement really shined in my opinion. It was the art of biology.
edit: Also a broad spectrum designer. The patterns in those books are for everything from wallpaper to ceramics to wrought iron. They really tried to extract every natural form from the specimen.
socialism is when you give kids treats. capitalism is when you give kids diabetes.
