    But only some numbers. Apple’s, for instance, is net profit from what I can see. Heinz isn’t. I haven’t looked into any more of them, but they’re just inconsistent.

    Crappy posts like this bug me so much because it makes “my side” look like we’re full of shit. There are mountains of true and verified facts to support the conclusion that workers should be paid more and corporations are ruthlessly greedy.

      This exactly. We don’t need to fluff or bullshit numbers just to prove that corporations are fucking over their labor and the customers.

        Can mods add a caveat to a post on Lemmy?

        Please edit your post title to reflect likely inaccuracy/inconsistency of some numbers. e.g.: “[may be misleading; see comments]”

          As much as I hate Twitter, the feature where users can add context would be amazing on other platforms. Would love to see it on Lemmy.
