Shoppers stunned at Loblaw-owned store selling $82 turkey | Dished

A Canadian shopper's post about the price of turkey at a Loblaw-owned store has raised the eyebrows of many customers.

Looks like Roblaw’s at it again… robbing the working class to keep obscene profits rolling to the Parasite Class. And I bet the farmer who raised those turkeys get only a few dollars per.

    I don’t see a triple whammy, it’s a nothing burger to me.

    1. If it’s a greedy markup on top of a product that I’m against, I don’t care
    2. Excessive animal farming… exists already regardless of price passed down to consumers
    3. We don’t any evidence these turkeys are going to waste at higher rates than before yet so this is just speculation

    So personally I don’t see any reason for me to be mad, though I empathize that folks who care about having turkey have their reasons.

      So you would rather they slaughter an excessive amount of animals that will then be entirely discarded, then to actually go to people to eat?

        Yes. I would rather the animals’ deaths be entirely pointless and bring zero revenue to the animal killers.

          “Killing animals is wrong! Unless you’re pointlessly killing them so someone doesn’t profit from it!”

          Dude are you alright, cause wow, what a fucked up and incredibly disgusting view.

            No, killing is still wrong when it’s pointless. You need to pay attention and take this discussion seriously. Killing that doesn’t benefit murderers is better than killing that benefits murderers, because murder shouldn’t be profitable.
