Corporations such as ExxonMobil and Blackstone also big funders of climate crisis, new trade union report finds
Some of the world’s largest companies have been accused of undermining democracy across the world by financially backing far-right political movements, funding and exacerbating the climate crisis, and violating trade union rights and human rights in a report published on Monday by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).
Amazon, Tesla, Meta, ExxonMobil, Blackstone, Vanguard and Glencore are the corporations included in the report. The companies’ lobbying arms are attempting to shape global policy at the United Nations Summit of the Future in New York City on 22 and 23 September.
No fucking shit. Large corporations only care about one thing profit. If democracy, the climate, labor rights, or anything else gets in the way of profits; then fuck those concepts. Profit must rule over everything.
Large corporations only care about one thing profit.
Eh, I'd argue that they care about things other than profit (e.g. power). Look at Leon Musk for example...that guy makes decisions all of the time that aren't for the benefit of his company's profitability.
I wouldn't rationalize too much the decisions taken by a huge narcissistic like that guy, Melon Usk...
If corporations are people, we should be able to hang them for treason.
Or treat them like their far-right allies treat socialists.
So, what time’s the revolution? Wanna make sure I clear my calendar.
Bi-weekly on Tuesdays.
At this point I don't even care if the new revolutionary government ends up being Pol Pot on steroids, I want change.
Whoa wait the billionaires aren't on our side?
And when Lina Kahn and the FTC is taken to the Supreme Court, they will give the FTC the final blow to overthrow any sort of government sanction.
That is the plan, yes
Easy solution: dissolve them by decree.
I always knew Blackstone was up to something, that's why I bought a camp chef griddle.
The report cites Meta, the largest social media company in the world, for its vast role in permitting and enabling far-right propaganda and movements to use its platforms to grow members and garner support in the US and abroad.
yeah allowing free flow of information is bad for democracy...
in what kind of bizarro world do we live nowadays anyway
Yeah, what's up with these governments and people who want to censor white supremacy, xenophobia, nazism and pedophilia? Let the information flow freely!
