I’m all for Capitalism but why do corporations care about profits so much?

I'm all for capitalism, but
I do not, in fact, think this person is all for capitalism.
Edit: I looked at their post history, they seem to be an ex-con gay man whose main political subreddits are r/TheLib and r/JohnOliver where they post trump is hitler/russiagate stuff. They're a sinophobe. Their main hobbies seem to be pokemon go and sports gambling. They live in North Carolina. They believe real communism has never been tried and wouldn't work anyway because of human nature. They work in sales and say they make 6 figures. They may, in fact, be all for capitalism 😭
I'll have to start replying to posts with a blank comment, just for my avi
"I'm all for capitalism"
capitalist does capitalist thing capitalist-ly
"wtf >:("
"still love the truck, though"
I've worked in tech for over a decade but was it too much to ask of a giant corporation to not acquire a product and turn it into garbage?
This reads like a bit.
hardcore soda enthusiasts
Stop
I only drink prestige soda. This is a soda casual who doesn't know shit about the spice meta.
Let's see Paul Allen's sody pop.
oh my god, it even has 7% juice
I know this is a joke, but there are entire branches of science dedicated to developing the spice meta.
Motherfuckers are really out there using gas chromatography to optimise soda flavours.
True soda fans only buy from rogue organic chemists.

People forget how much science goes into designing and optimizing food products. One look at the dairy industry food products, for instance, and the amount of R&D is actually astronomical
I'm all for capitalism but does it have to do what capitalism does to the things that I like?
Keep winning by drinking water.
Oh I'm being told my province has sold all the water rights to Nestle. For like no money at all. Fuck.
Buy a carbonation tank and some specialty bottles/pipes/nozzle for under $200. Carbonate all your drinks for cents a gallon. Experiment with your own soda syrup or just drink sparkling water/wine. After the initial investment you just need to refill the tank every six months.
Yes, it is too much to ask of a corporation to not turn their product into garbage. Their entire incentive starts and ends at profit. They will do whatever they can to increase profit, and this is hailed as "the efficiency of the private sector".
I consume about 3 cans a day
this is like a smoker "quitting" by switching to those thin cigarettes but still smoking all day. my lungs are saved!
This is definitely a lib post but I have people who I care about who have been able to reduce their sugar/sweetener intake a lot by switching to Poppi and it sucks to see that they're turning into basically another diet soda
I don't think poppi costs $2.50 per can because they're smoll bean indie soda company. I also don't think Pepsi bought poppi with the hopes of cutting costs for more people. More like they were impressed that someone was able to dupe people into paying $2.50 for a can of fizzy water with less sugar in it.
Who drinks soda instead of water? Isn't it something you drink with a meal? I stopped a long time ago too, but I used to only drink soda while eating
Water sucks and is boring. I want am explosion of flavor in my mouth at all times tbh
Thank you Henry Winkler
tip from a pro water drinker: try putting ice cubes in it. Crazy I know, but its even calorie negative too
Who drinks soda instead of water?
The majority of people in the American south. Soda or sweet tea.
i drink a glass of diet soda on it's own sometimes, never really with a meal though
most of them are too carbonated for me so i usually leave it to go a little flat and sip it while i read/watch/play something
I stopped drinking sugary shit by getting a sodastream (before I knew it was israeli) and just using it to make bubbly water... stopped my soda purchases instantly and forever pretty much
Making soda water is a generic process that can be done without a soda stream, just saying that out loud for anybody else that might want to save money making soda at home...
Yeah, you can buy adapters for a gas tank to your bottle threads of choice and go at it. Super simple. AliExpress is a gold mine. Too bad gas tanks cost a bit of cash and you need somewhere to store it. And they're heavy.
ay poppi
poppi is finished
Pixar’s Sodas II: The legend of Poppi’s gold let’s fucking goooo
Disney is leaving money on the table not making Sodas a real movie
A huge treat related whine about capitalism -> "I'm all for capitalism..."
Fortunately I never drink soda or any sweet drinks
Hexbears will hate me for this but drinking diet soda is more hydrating than drinking water so I get it. I'm not sure why Poppi is 30 calories/can but maybe if they hopped off Poppi's dick and onto a real diet soda they'd live a little.
Big if true, poppi was a great middle ground between kombucha :(
