Economy Supermarket destroys food, does not let people salvage them

[Diogenes of Sinope]

It's almost as if this is a white nationalist talking point.

Has nothing to do with race. Has to do with why we need a sense of patriotism if we want socialism to work

 

[PEB]

Fedor Emelianenko thought it was gross the excess of food we throw away. He offered to cut an share his dinner with others during a meeting with fans. Yeah I guess Fedor a limp wristed liberal.

What does that mean? What would this sense of patriotism mean?

 

[THC]

Well we do live in a world where people can sue because they were fucking retarded enough to put gorilla glue in their hair and the ratchet hoodrat will probably get money out of it.

IDK exactly, but not the traditional sense of patriotism, which has a bad rap.
Half the country thinks the other half is oppressing them, when they should be cooperating with each other. Thats why the right is so against paying taxes that benefit people they cant relate to.. at all. From a psychological perspective, people are more likely to empathize with people they can understand. Rural right wingers will never be able to know fully what its like to be a black American, especially in the city, and vice versa. So how can we get cultural cooperation?


Learning to appreciate each others' cultures is important, and we benefit greatly from it, but the cultural divide has become so great that we don't even want to share our cultural ideas with each other anymore. The marketplace of cultures aren't united under. single banner anymore, they're fragmented and isolated, constantly infighting, because the sociological movement of "We are all one" that existed in the late 90s is viewed as outdated by today's progressives, who are now pushing a form of neo-Affirmative Action.

Its the reason why Communists call each other Comrade; it's a psychological ta chic to socially encourage the idea of equality, everyone in this nation is a comrade, "we're in this together."

We need to reinvent American patriotism, a new concept that Both right and left can get onboard with.
Right now patriotism is synonymous with the right. a sen se of patriotism that isn't linked to racism.



We need to change the name of the company

This is 100% a legal liability issue. The fridges gave out and bacteria and viruses have had time to replicate in the heat. If you freely give out potentially toxic food to people, you're on the hook for the consequences. Food banks and churches only give food that they know is OK: non-perishables, food that isn't expired and fresh food where the cold chain was respected.

It's really not a hard concept to grasp folks. The option to give the food out is simply a non-started for the company.

when PG&E shut off the power in California for 5+ days tons of food was trashed. The Safeway people said corporate was to make sure nobody could take food possibly tainted.

This is about lawsuits.

 

[The XL]

Just about everyone in government and corporate America are sociopaths and despise you. Trust absolutely no one, regardless of their political designations.

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

They have to throw it in the dumpster to avoid liability. Thanks Democrats

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

"If we can't profit off of this food, no one should eat it"

Disgusting.

who are you quoting?

 

[spamking]

Don't they get to count it as a loss if they throw it out? If so, why not just let folks take it once it's in the dumpster or out of the store?

Some of that can surely be eaten for several days after the sell-by dates.

 

[Cuzcatlan]

Why not donated to food banks?

 

[The Todd]

make people sign a waiver or something, organize an effort to distribute the food with the local authorities...seems its more effort to throw the food away than give it to someone.

I really like the sentiment of what you are trying to say here. But it just does not make much sense to me.


What does culture have to do with paying taxes that would go towards programs that would benefit all Americans? What could there possibly be about a different culture that would prevent someone from doing something to benefit themselves and other people if their own culture in addition to people of whatever culture it is that they have some strange disagreement with? That is like cutting your nose off to spite your face. It makes no sense.

You want to incentivize one side to pay taxes not just take it from them and shame them. Otherwise youre going to create a buildup of dissatisfaction from the heavily taxed

The programs are the incentive though. Medicare for all would benefit everyone. It would lower drug prices. Allow smaller businesses to better compete with larger businesses that can provide health care, and help workers who want to transition from one job to another.

Worker Coops prevent businesses from up and leaving the US for cheaper labor, paying their workers starvation wages, or doing fucked up things like dumping pollution into the environment that workers live in.

I could go on about other policies like education, renewable energy, etc. But these policies paid through taxes would be paid for by all working people. And they would benefit all of those same people and their communities. You act as if only one side works and pays taxes when the majority of people on both sides work and pay taxes. And these programs benefit people on both sides and their communities.

 

[BIKES!]

Are there some brainwashed cucks that really think this is about profit in any way and not entirely tied to liability?

 

[ChuckSteak]

You can't be sued for donating food in good faith

Well you can be sued (filing a law suit isn’t too hard), but it should be thrown out by the judge because you are right. In today’s courts I, personally, have no faith a judge would throw the case out as it should be.

 

[ChuckSteak]

If the fear of frivolous lawsuits is really the problem than maybe we need a law that criminalizes food waste at this scale like France has.

Maybe we do. Currently we don’t. Do just a big nothingburdger.

 

[ChuckSteak]

Edit: I was wrong. Maybe these guys are dicks..

"Can Food be Donated After the Date Passes?
Yes. The quality of perishable products may deteriorate after the date passes but the products should still be wholesome if not exhibiting signs of spoilage. Food banks, other charitable organizations, and consumers should evaluate the quality of the product prior to its distribution and consumption to determine whether there are noticeable changes in wholesomeness"

The food wasn’t expired. The power went out and the refrigerated food was tossed because it was no longer safe.

 

[Revolver]

Lmao @ poor people dumpster diving.
