A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Canada is pretty similar. So much dumped instead of priced to sell

But then people juat wait and buy it cheaper.

So you'd rather toss it? Nice.

Seems to work pretty well here in the UK. Shops reduce stuff near the end of its self life to reduce how much is wasted.

You can wait if you want it cheaper, but you are getting lower quality food near the end of its self life. Not everyone wants that. It works really well, though more could still be done to reduce waste.

I have heard of mystery boxes of end of life products being done before, love the idea but haven't seen it implemented locally and they don't normally keep it up for long. Shame really. Could make for a good stew, just throw all the things in.
