Legal counsel has to be blowing their brains out as well. How in the world can you defend your trademark when it's a letter? Good luck playing wack a mole with all the copycats.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot “food we eat”?

Field corn and soybeans are STRICTLY for animal (specifically cow, pig sheep and chicken) consumption. Food we eat is from California.

Feel free to be pedantic, but my point remains: historically and currently capitalism strives for infinite growth and cares not for resource limitations.

Now, can capitalism serve both purposes? Of course. Technological improvements developed by capitalism can (and must) improve environmental and resource impacts of population needs. Does it currently? Not nearly enough. How to direct capitalism to become a better steward for the planet and its resources is a separate topic and discussion. OP asked a question that I was answering without getting into the weeds.

War, like what’s happening in Ukraine?

These aren’t “terrorist attacks” against Russia. They’re “special military operations”.

Pretty simple really: capitalism requires infinite growth. We have finite resources. The world is literally melting around us due to unsustainability.

The pet peeve of many people is the greed (of billionaires, politicians, global companies, etc) for wealth (paper, essentially) yet not giving a flying fuck about the anyone else or the rest of the planet.

If we haven’t already, all foreign assets of Putin and all Russian leadership and oligarchs need to be seized immediately. Unless the pain is felt by those with power nothing will change.

There are also a number of Western companies still operating in Russia. That needs to change.

Would a black person be justified in not wanting to date a white supremacist? Or would you call the black person “the real bigot”?

You were never open to a discussion because you refused to admit you were wrong about the supermajority. And you’ve spent a lot of time deflecting from that fact.
