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.
The solution is to force them to care through blackmailing and arrests without any due process.
I heard about this French invention that’s excellent for quisine! I’m hungry. When do we eat?
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.
If corporations are people, we should be able to hang them for treason.
Can’t hang a company. A CEO, though…
Having said that, everyone should behave, not at all calling out for violence, but people should start pressing their governments to directly hold CEOs responsible, criminally where needed
Uh huh, so are you okay with YOUR blood flowing, or those that are near to you?
Because the types like you somehow always are okay with the blood of strangers flowing bit as soon as it’s their own ass on the line, it’s all excuses
Don’t forget twitter.
This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.
FWIW it was eroding democracy even before the doughy shitlord took it over.
The first Tesla car came out in 2008. Elon was in charge at that point. He was its largest shareholder as of 2004, and it was founded as of 2003. Pretty sure it wasn’t eroding anything in those first 4 carless years.
So, what time’s the revolution? Wanna make sure I clear my calendar.
Whoa wait the billionaires aren’t on our side?
