What's your argument here? That we should sacrifice in the name of corporate profits?
I personally am not interested in giving up the few luxury food items I buy so that the CEO of Kroger can buy another fucking yacht.
edit: I meant to say I'm not interested in paying more for less so they can keep buying yachts, but did a terrible job of that and ended up saying the opposite.
When consumers buy less, companies make less money.
There’s no mechanism here where people buying less luxury foods leads to anyone buying yachts. That’s just not a thing in this model and I’m not sure where you got that.
That's... not what I said at all. In fact, the opposite.
edit: You're right, that is what I said. Not what I meant to say though. I 'mistyped'. Hence why it doesn't make sense. Sorry.
