I was at Whole Foods yesterday, which is owned by Amazon, which paid $0 in income taxes on $11 Billion in profits in 2018, and which is operated by Jeff Bezos, who is worth roughly $112 Billion, making him the wealthiest man in the world.
The reason that I mention this is that Whole Foods was having a holiday food drive and had the absolutely ludicrous fucking audacity to suggest that I purchase food from them so I could then give it back to them so that they could use it to feed hungry families during the holidays. In essence, a man who is worth more money than the average human would earn in 45,000 lifetimes asked me to give him $5 so that hungry children could have crackers because it is essential that he profit before hungry people eat.
Whole Foods and Jeff Bezos should not need me to broker this transaction, but since they asked, I solved the problem that they are either too stupid or too selfish to solve on their own by walking through the aisles, grabbing armfuls of food and depositing it in the donation bins. You're fucking welcome.
It's really a zero-risk maneuver, as you haven't stolen anything, simply placed items in a different location in the store, and in the unlikely event that you are confronted by an overworked and underpaid Whole Foods employee, you can ask them to try to sort your contribution out of the donation bin by figuring out the exact point when they are taking food out of the mouths of hungry children and when they are taking money out of the pocket of the man who accumulated that money by underpaying and overworking his employees.
I will be doing this on every visit to Whole Foods throughout the holidays and hope that all of you do the same. Happy Holidays.
