The company that oversees the Domino’s Pizza brand in Russia said it will file for bankruptcy there, signaling a definitive end to its operations in that country nearly 18 months after President Vladimir Putin launched an unprovoked invasion of neighboring Ukraine.

DP Eurasia, the franchisee for Domino’s in Europe and Asia, cited unspecified business challenges in Russia, where it operated more than 100 restaurants. The U.S.-based Dominos Pizza has said it cut off financial support for the Russian business in December 2022.

A bankruptcy filing is now forthcoming, the company said.

    Find me an economic system where increasing profits at the expense of everything else isn’t the only goal. Probably that one.

      I lived in one which ostensibly did not prioritize profits and it sucked. We didn’t even have pizza at all, no joke. Pizza wasn’t part of the five-year plan, after all.

      If there can be no ethical consumption under capitalism and you bought your electronics, electricity and internet service (capitalism) then your commenting here (and all the rest of it) is unethical.

      Sorry, but that’s how I read your hot take and the hypocrisy is so juicy I couldn’t help but comment.

        “If there can be no ethical consumption under capitalism and you bought your electronics, electricity and internet service (capitalism) then your commenting here (and all the rest of it) is unethical.”

        Yes that is precisely what they’re saying. It’s not hypocritical though.

      Where does the non-capitalist model exist on earth right now? If you do find it, is that country somewhere you want to live?
