Nestle’s long history of sacrificing infants for profits continues strong.

yesman@lemmy.world on 31 Jan 15:58 next collapse

Yea, I came here to say Nestle is caught poisoning children? Again?

foodandart@lemmy.zip on 31 Jan 16:35 collapse

Again?

…it would appear so…

Filthy corporation.

Yeah, Nestle’s existence is a good reminder that, if there is a god out there, they’re the sort of god that likes to burn ants with a magnifying glass.

Glide@lemmy.ca on 31 Jan 15:59 next collapse

But think about how much shareholder value they preserved!

Obligatory fuck nestle

Right? As if the bullshit they’re pulling with water and chocolate weren’t enough?

Railcar8095@lemmy.world on 31 Jan 16:58 next collapse

They get a penny every time they are caught poisoning babies, and that pleases stockholders.

$200 a month? Man, he got off easy in this round of ‘fuck the plebes’ this year.

Reduced because I still haven’t figured out how to keep Lemmy from posting GIFs and videos at maximum possible resolution in the comments TBH.

Well, if no one does anything about it then I guess it’s fine.

digger@lemmy.ca on 31 Jan 17:44 next collapse

A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.

Hey, I watched this movie too!

Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca on 31 Jan 18:50 next collapse

Honestly there shouldn’t even be a difference in our of court settlements.

A single death should pay out enough to be more expensive than a full recall. Even if the government gets the difference in fees as punishment for negligence.

You know, if I was the head of a multinational organization that’s infamous for poisoning children, stealing water, and bribing officials… I’d be worried about my personal safety.

Ya know evil people, committing evil actions, count on good people doing nothing.

chaogomu@lemmy.world on 31 Jan 19:08 collapse

The head of just such an organization hires a lot of bodyguards.

But, as people tend to learn, the way to excise such a person from their bodyguards, is to remove the bodyguards one at a time.

So the entire C suite will be jailed for risking babies lives, right? RIGHT?

lka1988@sh.itjust.works on 01 Feb 01:26 collapse

The fine for this is less than the obscene profits they made, so no.

Arkouda@lemmy.ca on 01 Feb 16:26 collapse

I want to live to see the day where Corporations do not have the ability to factor in fines as a “cost of doing business”.

lka1988@sh.itjust.works on 01 Feb 23:42 collapse

Seriously. Fines need to eat into their profits at the bare minimum.

NannerBanner@literature.cafe on 02 Feb 02:19 collapse

Minimum? No, I think fines should bankrupt the executives and board members, leaving them homeless at a minimum. If they don’t want to have being homeless as a bad thing, maybe they should start donating to political candidates who would change society for the better and make homelessness either a thing of the past or a very well tended to position.

lka1988@sh.itjust.works on 02 Feb 21:26 collapse

That works, too!
