objection that profitability will be threatened inadvertently reveals a profound truth about the nature of wages and labor. The protest is a reminder that these companies’ revenues are produced by the working class — and their profits come from squeezing workers dry.

✏️ In general, I’m always offended by the corporate complaint that a particular action would hurt their profits.
Fuck your profits, especially when it comes at the expense of the people you’re affecting with your inhumane decisions.
Somehow we’re supposed to actually feel bad that a company might make 2% less obscene riches, in return for a single barely basic human right, or worse to return a human right that they excised in the past.
