It's a 500B company that undercuts everyone else with incredible efficiency, just like Amazon. It's an example of how capitalism can be great. If you really want to get of out of capitalism, you can just buy directly from farmers or grow your own food.

The whole thing about no ethical consumption under capitalism is a just a way to enjoy the conveniences of capitalism on a moral high ground. It's totally doable, you just might not enjoy it haha.

I guess the angle I was coming at it from is that they pay their employees a living wage. I need to buy toilet paper from somewhere, and between Amazon and Costco I would much rather give my money to Costco.

Hell, just buy from Wallyworld where you get low, low prices and pseudo-socialism with their employees on the food stamps.

The camel's gotta get its nose in the tent somehow.
