Who else remember “water is not a human right”
Doesn’t lobby just mean to bribe with extra steps?
Swindled podcast has a great episode on them
Nothing says ‘family values’ like fighting against policies that help families, right?
People bitch about US companies and US billionaires, but if you want to see pure, unadulterated corporate greed and skull-fuckery, you’ve got to delve into the lovely Swiss, and Nestle.
– Getting mothers, especially in poor countries, to not lactate, so they can sell them baby formula
– Buying off politicians to get water rights for a few pennies per 1000 gallons, that they bottle and sell for a dollar plus, for 12 or so ounces. Even in drought states.
– Child labor claims in cocoa producing countries.
You don’t understand….Harris one time laughed weird.
Are there any other countries with as openly legal and standardized corruption as the US? It’s wild that our government has the gall to call such open corruption “free speech”.
You would think that they would want to encourage people to have children.
I cannot express how TRUE this is. If I had to go into the office everyday/put my baby in daycare full time, there is no way in hell I’d pump or continue to BF.

Should also put parentheses after lobby (legal bribery)
I’ve been trying to avoid Nestle for years since I found out about the whole Africa baby formula thing (google it), but it’s hard because they own SO MANY companies.
Turns out, “our” government is just the HR department for a bunch of corporations and they don’t even bother to button up the trenchcoat.
Ok, but the Chinese government isn’t exactly youre friend.
China is problematic though.
Isn’t lobbying essentially a more complicated way of influencing decisions through financial incentives?

Every time I ask one of my Trump supporting friends what steps he plans to take to make sure billionaires are paying their fair share and putting some brakes on corporations and them totally screwing us all, they always fall back to it’s the immigrants/welfare recipients who are the cause of so many of our problems and needs to focus on them.
Lol! I loved the end.
In indiana, they are getting rid of DEI. THANK GOD! I need surgery on my arm and can’t afford it. I’m so glad they are going after the real issues…/s fuckin idiot ass republicans..
They may be right, but I’d like to ask for source after “I just found out”.
Nestle is a shit company indeed.
But also Nestle gives people up to 6 months of maternity leave
GTFO stupid bot, probably ran by reddit themselves
That’s all the “culture war” is. They want to make you angry at trans people, immigrants, drag queens, women seeking abortions, so they can keep robbing you blind.
Let’s not leave our people who want convicted criminals to be held accountable aka liberals
I think it’s bizarre people can’t think both that China is bad and our own political system has obvious problems at the same time.
Like, are you saying China isn’t bad?
This is the first era where companies are actively hostile toward their customers.
