Alpo Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 First it was BIG tobacco. Not Raleigh or Winston or Salem or Marlboro. BIG TOBACCO. Sounded scary. Then we got BIG pharm. The pharmaceutical companies that make drugs that supposedly cure your diseases, now are trying to get you addicted or to poison you or both. You no longer go to Home Depot or Walmart. You go to a BIG BOX store. And I saw in that link Bob gave about Coca-Cola being a terrible thing in Mexico that they are worried about BIG SODA. If people want to say anything bad about it company, the company is now BIG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 It's a condition propaganda tool to make you fear/hate things. Big pharma makes big money on the common man. Big corporations make big profits while the workers don't get living wages. All those billionaires and their big corporations don't pay taxes, the low earning middle class does. All income slaves should rise up and make the robber barons pay for everything. Anyone see a pattern? Comrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblin Gambler Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Don't forget the ranger with the BIG iron on his hip was johnny law! In all seriousness, Big X has been used since before any of us were born, hasn't it? I can't find the answer on the internet but I've seen cartoons from the 20's using the term. I thought it came about either from the muckrakers or yellow journalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only kept it open because his longest serving employee managed it. He had four of them I believe. I worked in his specialty restaurants as did my wife (then girlfriend).
