KICKSTARTER

Thanks to my pal Rachel from the greatest internet group OF ALL TIME, the PPK, for bringing this issue to my attention. So, you know how during the Industrial Revolution, workers – from babies to oldies – were worked to the bone, often killed due to dangerous practices, never given days off, fired if they were hurt or sick, and generally always suffering because there were no laws and so factories were run the Wild West? Well, naturally, the advent of modern labor law began during the Indy Rev as workers sought better conditions, the right to form and join labor unions, and a general agreement to not be docked pay if they had to sweep the cotton bits from under the enormous death machine while it was still on (although that was mostly for kids) (this is a true thing I learned about in Manchester’s science and industry museum! is horrifying!). These laws are vital, as you know unless you are literally a corporate overlord longing for the good old days but then seriously what are you doing on this page, as is the freedom to form and join unions in order to achieve stronger bargaining power and legal rights.

Unions are necessary in a capitalist society, but Kickstarter is like mmm I don’t know, those late 19th-early 20th century times were really fun for a lot of people. Due to the company’s preoccupation with I don’t know, manufacturing for war time and ladies beginning to show their ankles, Kickstarter has gotten into some union busting. The company is in an ongoing unionization effort, and two employees involved in the effort were recently fired. They think it’s because of the union activity, while Kickstarter says it’s for performance issues. And yeah, maybe it was, but that doesn’t explain why Kickstarter still doesn’t recognize its employee union, or why, when asked, the company stated it would not voluntarily recognize the union. I mean, wtf guys! Did Sally Field make those placards and win an Oscar for nothing? FOR NOTHING, PEOPLE? How dare you ignore her!

I know that past editions of the What’s Pissing Me Off Today post have been like “don’t shop at this place! They’re mean! Don’t give them money! I hate them!” but I can’t really do that for this one. What am I gonna say, don’t support interesting indie projects or small businesses who may need the site for fundraising? I mean, suggest one of the many other sites to them, but Kickstarter does have the most name recognition. I’m extra mad because the people who use Kickstarter shouldn’t suffer (probably). So maybe if you are looking to raise funds, just don’t choose them. And also, in general, don’t support union busters!

LAURA INGRAHAM’S ADVERTISERS

I hate that I’m talking about such a garbage person on my happy site but her brother made me. So Laura Ingraham is a Nazi monster, as we all know, such a Nazi monster (or…Nazster?) that her own brother has disowned her in a series of truly incredible tweets. What a Thanksgiving it’ll be this year! He can come to mine! The companies that continue to advertise with her are of course also Nazsters who do not, I repeat really do not, understand the first amendment, and who have been profiled in the past when e.g. she went after young activist David Hogg. She’s even shittier now than she was before, so here are her advertisers as of July.

South Beach Diet: LOL I remember when this was big when I was in high school and we made one of their cookie recipes, it was literally just egg whites and peanut butter and stevia mixed and then baked. PASS.

Fungi-Nail: Of course her viewers need this.

Rohto: Yeah I need eye drops too but I’ll get them from someone else chief.

SeroVital: These are like weird vitamins and HGH? Um.

NFL Network: We already know they are misogynist and racist monsters jfc they are THE WORST.

Waterpik: These fuckers too lazy to floss.

Stamps.com: Every podcast is now cancelled.

Coravin: None of her viewers have ever had to save a bottle of opened wine, gimme a break.

Takl: This is the worst brand name I’ve ever heard and people literally can’t even say mine.

Roman Pharmacy: This is my FAVORITE one on the list. You could not ask for something more perfect for Fox viewers. It is 104% perfect. So this is a health app, for men, that gets them medical service through the app so they don’t have to leave their homes/basement dungeons and actually go see a doctor. Oh the toxic masculinity in so much of this. And don’t with the ‘well some people are too ill to leave the house.’ The main service, and what their media coverage is mostly about, is for erectile dysfunction meds. It is perfect.

Energizer: fuck that bunny.

Bausch & Lomb: They test on animals anyway.

Sandals Hotel/Resort: YA BASIC.

Sheex: Is this when you eat at a Sheetz and then sheetz yourself?

Safelite Auto Glass Co: Checks out. I bet they are all terrible drivers.

Nutrisystem: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

USAA: The extra A is for Asshole

MyPillow: This is another favorite of mine. Their twitter is overrun with supporters congratulating them for sticking with their fight for freedom and pledging to buy their pillows in THE NAME OF FREEDOM. People are so FORKING STUPID.

Lifelock: That’s what her viewers are suffering from.

StarKist: tuno.

WeatherTech: These people care about their cars almost as much as their guns.

HomeToGo.com: For people who want to travel but like not really.

ClearChoice Dental: I mean at least some of them go to a dentist.

Tecovas: They make leather cowboy boots. It’s all like a stereotype.

Prevagen: This supplement claims to help memory loss. God her viewers are old. Just take algae-based omega 3.

Carfax: sell dem cars.

Elite Singles Dating Service: BUT YOU HATE THE ELITE!

The Zebra: Terrible name for car insurance! (Great name for a striped horse.)

Eli Lilly & Novo Nordisk: They do love Big Pharma.

What a bunch of idiots we share this planet with!

Maybe next time we can do a list of companies I love! Optimism! (Except there’s No Ethical Consumption Under Capitalism…so really I’d just be recommending that you watch The Good Place (BSE)). What’s on your list this week?
