Corporations have been saying Let Them Eat Cake for a long time.
A message to all people who try to boycott companies like Kellogg's or Burgerville that are working hard to stop unions because they want to keep abusing workers:
I feel ya, but I can also just about guarantee you that you're already supporting this company, you just don't know it. And I can also guarantee you that boycotting any company in this day and age is effectively impossible because every brand to exist (including store brands) are owned by one of three or four mega-corporations that keep buying and selling brands off one another and are deeply in cahoots with one another. It's still a good thing to try to boycott brands as a way to show them your displeasure, but it is ultimately pointless in most cases.
In that way it's like voting in a two-party system like the US, where both parties are ultimately working for the same billionaires; do you want to vote for Original Flavor Fascism or Diet Fascism?
This is what our world has come to: where we have to find other methods to fix problems. Voting with your money doesn't work. Voting with your votes doesn't work. We're probably best off following in the footsteps of the French Revolution and uh, cutting the snake off at the head, as it were.
