What Domino's Wants You to Forget

  • The Noid was everywhere in the 80s. He was an animated character created by Domino's Pizza to help promote their delivery service. The slogan "avoid the Noid" was all over the TV and radio. 22-year-old Kenneth Lamar Noid couldn't understand why his surname was suddenly being broadcast everywhere and he began to believe that the pizza company was trying to turn the public against him specifically. He drove to a nearby Domino's restaurant and decided to get revenge...

      Republicans are doing everything possible to get rid of what little mental health support services we have... Not to mention how they're blocking any type of solution for gun violence. They will say it's, not a gun issue, it's a mental health issue, all the while destroying the mental health services we have in place. People love to complain but, the people aren't voting these people out. So we're stuck with this. People love to say shit like, both sides are bad. That's true, both sides suck, but one side is actively trying to prop up mental health services and medical services in general, while the other is doing their best to destroy them. Their version of mental health is distributing Bibles.

      Considering that private jet was paid for using the surplus value of all the low paid employees working under him, and that the incident was caused by the company's actions (not saying there's blame, obviously this couldn't be predicted), it's the bare minimum. It just bothers me when very rich people are celebrated for doing something entirely logical. Shouldn't the owner of a company be responsible for their employees' safety? Being a pizza employee is literally more dangerous than being a cop

    You can thank Reagan for this. He drastically cut funding for mental health services in 1980, and ordered all mental hospitals shut down. He didn't offer any alternatives, of course. Just left millions of mentally ill without treatment, and often, without a home to return to. Kenneth Noid could have gotten help before things got this bad.

      That was the part of the 80's that overly nostalgic people tend to forget. They wax lyrical on how great everything was forgetting that in a way it was a very selfish decade with people just being told to go out and make money any way you can, don't worry about moral consequences just care about yourself
      I remember when Trump took power and cut funding to PBS, the one network that had no bias and it's programming centred on educational programming but because of his other controversial policies it got overlooked by the majority of public

    Arie would win the then fastest 500 mile race in Indy 500 history and go on to be linked with the company through 1990, with the number 30 picked as an allusion to the 30 minute promotion

    Who determines what it mentally healthy and what are the reprocussions for not fitting the arbitrary description?
