So, the "foremost proponent of corporate ethics" is NOT already paying a living wage? Fucking rofl.
That just shows you the standard of corporate ethics.
Been pretty low since 2016
Has it ever been high?
Corporations inherently have no ethics or morals. There's only regulations and the ethics/morals imposed by the people running it.
Damn wouldn't it be sweet if the FDA, FTC, and FCC Would like, do shit about stuff?
Guess who actually controls them?
Lobbyists!
"Corporate commitments to environmental problems turn out to just be fluff for positive PR"
When it's time to put the money on the table, those rich assholes want to keep it all to themselves.

Ben and Jerrie's is owned by a horrid megacorp :(
Unpopular opinion: many wealthy white gay men may as fucking well be wealthy white straight men when it comes to their "fuck you, got mine" politics.
Scale back? Wtf
That way, in a few years, they can announce a bigger commitment for positive PR that they have no intention of keeping.
This is why we need legislation. Companies are perfectly happy to green wash. Marketing is cheap.
Things are getting better so it's only natural.
I read your comment before even one sip of coffee. How am I supposed to do a spit-take under these conditions, I ask you?
Love your name btw. 👍🤣
I am on a quest to redeem my irascible soul 🙂
