The company that oversees the Domino’s Pizza brand in Russia said it will file for bankruptcy there, signaling a definitive end to its operations in that country nearly 18 months after President Vladimir Putin launched an unprovoked invasion of neighboring Ukraine.
DP Eurasia, the franchisee for Domino’s in Europe and Asia, cited unspecified business challenges in Russia, where it operated more than 100 restaurants. The U.S.-based Dominos Pizza has said it cut off financial support for the Russian business in December 2022.
A bankruptcy filing is now forthcoming, the company said.
There can be no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Where and when can there be ethical consumption?
Find me an economic system where increasing profits at the expense of everything else isn’t the only goal. Probably that one.
I lived in one which ostensibly did not prioritize profits and it sucked. We didn’t even have pizza at all, no joke. Pizza wasn’t part of the five-year plan, after all.

“If there can be no ethical consumption under capitalism and you bought your electronics, electricity and internet service (capitalism) then your commenting here (and all the rest of it) is unethical.”
Yes that is precisely what they’re saying. It’s not hypocritical though.
Where does the non-capitalist model exist on earth right now? If you do find it, is that country somewhere you want to live?

You just steal your food from farmers then?
I just don’t attach morality to shitty brands or corporations. It’s okay we don’t need to act like they are “on our side” because inherently they are the ones exploiting us. They cater to the market, not a sense of morality. Acting like they actually care, or have some sort of moral compass is just sticking your head in the sand against the irrefutable evidence of the capitalist hellscape we live in.

Because farming is specific to capitalism lmfao what a dumbass response. Using currency to purchase goods and services does not equal capitalism you fucking Neanderthal.

Ah yes, I forget I cannot criticize a thing I partake into in hopes it improves.
More like a thing we’re all forced into but yeah, the sentiment is correct.
Do you think that I think that I don’t consume? I just don’t attach morality to it, e.g. “Don’t buy Domino’s because they’re still in Russia over a year after the war” or insert any virtue signaling “protest” like Bud Light etc.
it’s an old meme sir, but it checks out.

While I agree …I would also like to say “smoke it if you got it”. That’s how I justify my ipad anyway…
