Since according to Bill Ackman the presence of a place you can buy eggs without a 100% markup is going to plunge NYC instantly into a Mad Max / Escape from New York style hellscape, what gangs are we all joining?

Personally I’m thinking the one of slightly sexy cultists who worship bodega cats.

How about you comrades?

    oh i know it’s all BS (i also been in the industry for a long time, from stocker to manager with access to financials and back again, and now nascent union organizer… shh that one is a secret)

    that’s why I said they are just laying out their plans for sabotage. these plans aren’t realistic. they are designed to stoke fear into chuds and “personal responsibility” libs but have no basis in reality. nobody is going to actually make a criminal cottage industry out of this.

    I kind of wish these fuckers would try to do something like this and invest a lot of money into it because it would fail very quickly and very consistently.

    oh you know they are going to try, just to make a point and try to make this fail. it would be ironic if they create some kind of sabotage based grocery chain and drive up everyone’s wages. right now the industry is so brutal. our DM came by to try to figure out why all the good people are leaving and get ahead of unionization/wild cat striking. meanwhile i’ve been letting everyone know what their actual effective wage would be if this were an entirely worker owned company.

    but i digress and yes I could see Ackman and his cohorts doing some ridiculous, fumbling moves by throwing money at this in an attempt to destroy it and just wasting money. because they are so, so bad at the very system they benefit from. it’s more likely they’ll just have Zohran killed or deported
