amount of money tossed around so casually.
Healthcare? Housing? Schools?
Naw mergers and aquisitions of spinoffs baby. BUY HIGH SELL LOW! WHOOO YOLO! 
(Also we’re the adults in the room)
FYI Kellanova is the corporate name for Kellogg’s snack brands and cereal outside of North America. Weirdly, while WK Kelloggs (the NA cereal company) and Kellanova are separate companies now, they share the Kellogg’s brand name.
Plenty of money for war machine and treat mergers
>(Also we're the adults in the room)
I hate this placebusiness consolidation especially in tech, food, and entertainment tells me there’s just some really awful shit on the horizon - we like to act like these things are purely greed driven things, and while that’s a huge element of why this shit happens, it also feels like… frankly, a more direct consolidation of power in anticipation of precipitous decline in material conditions for the folks without investiture in these rapidly consolidating and monopolized industries.
I agreee
They’re gonna find a way to make Pringles worse???
MY PRINGLES!Mostly just shocked that there’s still room to get crappier. That’s like half the point of mergers and acquisitions, “I bet we could make some more profits by reducing quality lower than the company currently doing it and people would still buy it.”
I agree. I wasn’t being ironic—Pringles are one of my final treats that I still enjoy. This piggy is running out of slop.
Gotta update the recipe to include even more sawdust!
I’m most excited about new proprietary flavor enhancers, I’ll eat sawdust all day as long as it keeps my brain squirting dopamine
Marxists: the material conditions are worsening
Capitalist libs: the treats are worsening
Real capitalism has never been tried
Now who’s ready for some layoffs?
Cheese Nips were better anyway …I’m being handed a note now saying they had a plastic contamination scandal and have been discontinued for 4 years
How come when this happens in most places most people can immediately smell the enshittification to come but in some media credulous rubes say “my treats will get cheaper/I will have more epic crossovers happening because the IPs have come together, don’t care” instead?
