Yeah, everyone plans for the 1.6% of situations for everything else, why not purchasing a depreciating asset too?

Because different people can work on solving different issues. We can have a department, let’s call it the Department of Transportation, look at trucks and have another department, let’s call it the Department of Agriculture, look at industrial farming.

18 wheelers are driven by people who have had the training to handle such large vehicles.

Yes but you do realize saying “but what about meat” when talking about trucks is pretty silly? No one rationally thinks we need to simultaneously work on trucks and the myriad of ways that they are harmful while also dealing with a whole other industry with industrial farming.

18 wheelers are necessary, Escalades are not.

Would you care to assemble some more terrible comparisons?

This is labor. This is what a merchandiser does.

Have you ever gone out of your way for the express purpose to face an entire display of chocolates? Because putting one thing back every now and then isn’t comparing apples to apples.

We can tackle problems one at a time. It is not hypocrisy to do that. Otherwise we can’t solve any problem unless we solve all problems which is fucking absurd.

Did you ask a complete stranger to borrow the pickup truck, or someone you knew, presumably a friend?

You mean to tell me Ford is doing a bad product launch? I, sir, refuse to believe this.

They’re asking for it? No, Mr. Beast asked them to do it. Taking advantage of someone is inherently exploitative.

Do you think this is some sort of gotcha moment? Anyone asking for free labor is an asshole whether its Mr Beast or another corporation. What makes this worse is that he freely admits that he should get merchandisers but needs free labor until then.

So you don’t know anything about parasocial relationships?

Touché.

Did you spend it cleaning a grocery store shelf for free because a famous person asked for his own benefit?

It’s fucking wild.

Yes, it is bad to ask your audience who are neck deep in a weird parasocial relationship to do free work for while you get your shit together and hire proper merchandisers.

If this is what gives kids a sense of accomplishment I weep for our future.

These are grown ass adults.
