Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Wasn’t there a grocer in Europe that refused to carry Pepsi products bc the were doing things like this?
Edit: found one. I think there was another one earlier than this but still fuck Pepsi.

Lina Khan was the best thing that ever happened to me 🥰
What if, and hear me out, America's food and grocery stores weren't owned by monopolies? What if there was actual market competition?
No shit Sherlock. This stuff needs to be acknowledged and show just how much food waste it is causing, too.
Note that this does not in any way make coca-cola better than pepsi. They're both rotten to the core and it would be best to avoid products from both companies.
If you're desperate for fizzy juice, soda machines are great and work out cheaper in the long run than buying bottles of juice regularly. Also, no constant plastic bottle waste.
Although maybe don't get a SodaStream... It's a PepsiCo subsidiary headquartered in Israel.
I have a 35lbs CO2 tank in my basement that I use to carbonate 2L at a time of water. Just a pinch of pickling salt makes it super crispy. I think it cost me like $40usd. Some one have me the regulator, and I connect it to a carbonator cap using a Cornelius keg fitting. Tank lasts me years.
If you're desperate for fizzy juice,
PepsiCo owns far more than just the fizzy drink category.
not my flamin hots
Due to living in the United Corporation of Great Tesco and Northern Wetherspoon I can't view your linked image :(
But aye, PepsiCo is huge, Pepsi is what they're most associated with though so soda machines are an alternative to both Pepsi and Coca Cola.
Learning how to make a ginger bug is also an option if you don't want to buy equipment and CO2 canisters
Your corporation has multiple?
I’m pretty sure Canada is United Loblaws Customers
We should break them up. Seems like an obvious solution.

I've got a soda siphon of European origin that takes 8 gram CO2 cartridges and carbonates a liter of water at a time. Just as easy as a SodaStream, but perhaps more expensive to run because you have to get the individual small cartridges.
Pepsi also is still operating and even expanding their operations in Russia as competitors like Coca Cola have withdrawn after the Ukraine War.
Well, tbf, Coca Cola is funding the fascist Trump Admin and the GOP campaign funds.
Meanwhile, Water is out there satisfying people for free and not involved with this bullshit. Oh, also it's healthy, unlike sodas.

Not sure what you expected there, Coca Cola is a Southern company. If they didn't support systemic racism while trying to have clean PR it would be news.
I expect people to not use them as an example of a company doing something good, like with the Russian markets example. At least not without the disclaimer that I so generously added.
I've stopped consuming as many pepsi-co products that I'm aware of since they took the veil off and dropped DEI. I don't want to give them any benefit of a doubt that they were pressured into it. The "pressure" was the only excuse they needed to drop it. Fuck'em.
Well, Russia is the reason Pepsi once had the sixth largest navy in the world.
what i want a $150k submarine
In actuality, the only warships acquired by PepsiCo were "small, old, obsolete, unseaworthy vessels".
Why do you want to make me sad.
From the abstract of the study linked in the article
From 2006 to 2020, poorer metropolitan statistical areas experienced annualized food inflation that was 0.46 percentage points higher than that of richer ones—amounting to a cumulative difference of 8.8 percentage points over the period. Poorer areas also had fewer goods, fewer retailers, and higher market concentration
Also gotta say, linking to an actual study that early in an article is pretty legit.
