“Mormons, Inc.”
Chick-fill-A and Hobby Lobby are part of the same asshole Christian subspecies, do crazy shit like stealing/buying stolen artifacts, and being super anti-gay and anti-trans.
Oh and Chick-fil-A’s did is trash. I tried it before I learned the company sucked, not long after it first moved into Chicagoland. Not only is the chicken bland AF - including the “spicy” chicken - but they managed to somehow make waffle fries taste bleh. How the hell do you even fuck up waffle fries? I can’t understand how these assholes stay in business in the area with chicken that’s worse than what I can get at Burger King, much less any of a million small local places and chains.
Bank of New York Melon
Generally the larger the company the more evil it is as a general rule, so a lesser known evil company would be unlikely. That’s why I’m supportive of a strong democratic federal government, the natural predator of companies.
There is a US company that I understand the importance of so I won’t share the details but very few know anything about them. I’ll just say they make products used for arts and crafts, celebrations, and also Nuclear Weapons.
I worked for an investment firm that had about 75 employees, but managed $35 billion in assets. There are a lot of those. Their investments tended to be a lot of the companies ruining the world, ranging from the privatized ambulance companies to the privatized hospice care companies to the emerging-market banks, etc…etc… And that’s just one “small” investment firm.
HSBC - how many times can a bank be caught laundering dirty money and still exist?
Indeed, amazing how KYC is pointless. I feel like the finance industry is very good at packaging things in very appealing terms … yet do exactly the opposite of what it claims.
KYC is not at all pointless. It allows existing monopolise to remain entrenched.
Yes, in fact while writing my comment that’s what I had in mind, namely how can it not only do the opposite of what it claims BUT making it harder for smaller players to contest the “winners” setting up the rules. Wonderful. /s
By far all of the US MIC companies.
College Board. Maker of the SAT
Fuck College Board with a rake. Seriously awful when college is already so expensive.
GNC. The vitamin stores. They knowingly sell expired merchandise and withhold commissions from their employees.
Knauf. They produce drywall boards, among other building materials. You probably dwell a home where these products are built in. Excerpt from linked Wikipedia article:
In 2022, after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Yale University published a list of companies that chose to remain active in Russia. According to this report, over 600 companies have withdrawn from Russia — but some remain. Knauf is still operating across 14 sites in Russia but has claimed to have suspended new investments.[5].
In November 2023 Ukraine listed Knauf as an International Sponsor of War for promoting mobilisation in Russia by sending its employees to the war against Ukraine.[6].
According to German public-service broadcaster ARD, Knauf has been active in collaborating with the Russian military in its construction efforts in the Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine.[7][8]Another source (German), 2024 states, that due to investigation of a news outlet, they allegedly withdrew their actions.
Withdrawal in response to ARD investigation?
Only recently, the plaster company from Lower Franconia hit the headlines because of its activities in Russia: Research by the ARD magazine “Monitor” suggested that Knauf had violated EU sanctions against Russia. Whether the withdrawal from Russia is connected to the allegations made was neither confirmed nor denied by the company to BR24 today and a press spokeswoman did not wish to comment on the matter in response to a written request.They probably wanted to have a foot in the door when it comes to rebuilding, when the war will be over finally.
Another, probably more known company is Claas, a manufacturer of farming equipment like combine harvesters and such. Another source (German), 2023 claims
The company condemns Russia’s attack on Ukraine, said Mohr. Nevertheless, Claas cannot and does not want to withdraw from one of the world’s most important agricultural regions. “Both countries are enormously important for feeding the world’s population. That’s why farming must continue there,” Mohr told the SZ newspaper, adding that harvesting machines were essential for this.
Red Bull, they are nazis and spread fake news about conspiracy theories on their own TV network in Austria. Source
Is Monster still ok though?
Monster is coca cola afaik
So, based on Wikipedia, Cocola has ~15-20% stake in the company, but does not own them.
Which is to say that Coca Cola probably has the most say on anything that goes, but is not running the show.
Damn we need open source redbull
I go to Penny, a discount, for that. Varying names, same shit, way more cheap.
Don’t tell the BuyEurope movement
They know it already.
Thai know it already.
51% of the company, and it’s origin, is Thai anyway.
KPMG, Deloitte and Mc Kinsey, for reasons that include at times being both financial auditor and bookkeeping at the same time, and consultancy meaning reducing headcount no matter the cost.
I don’t really know all that much about it honestly but all I’ve heard of them, is that they get the smartest people to do the worst thing that they can get away with.
Mc Kinsey are the guys who invented and popularised the idea of executive bonuses for short term company performance and the idea of layoffs to temporarily make those companies look like they’re doing better. They’ve also consulted for all of the most evil companies in this thread while they were doing their most evil shit. They constantly do the most courpt stuff imaginable. Often their advice creates massive problems which they will then sell their services to the people cleaning up their mess.
They’ve consulted for hostile nations while being paid by the US government to give advice on how to deal with those hostile governments.
REI. Just another corporation in a “Good Guy” costume. https://www.ourrei.com/2025-rei-board-elections
Union busting, problematic supply chains, pulling PPE from staff. Hell, officially supporting Trump’s pick for Secretary of the Interior because I guess they can’t help themselves.
Oh fuck I just joined their lifetime membership. Is it possible to get that money back, why is every company owned by cunts. I thought REI was a Co OP?
Don’t know about getting money back, but it is something of a coop. My link includes a recommendation to vote “withhold” in the current election, why they recommend the action, and how to do so.
They’re in the middle of a board election, all members get a vote. The union endorses none of the nominees, and suggests you vote for “none of the above”.
Had I known this I wouldn’t have bought from REI and joined their membership.
Any thoughts on sports basement?
Abus. Fundamental evangelical Christians who think women’s rights are optional, used forced labor from concentration camps during WW2.
The company that makes locks?
Yup, that one. EDIT: also other stuff like bike helmets; they’ve acquired a range of other companies to broaden their portfolio. But yeah, I would say they’re best known for locks.
Uline comes to mind
They are the reason I think I severely underestimate that sucess rate of junk mail. They essentially mail me a phone book 5 times a year ro my home and my office and I have ordered exactly zero products from them ever.
It can’t be cheap to send all those catalogs, so they must work.
so they must work.
hopefully that assumption will remain until it bankrupts them.
They really have everything to supply an office or a warehouse. Procurement can use a single vendor for almost everything they need.
It’s a solid business model.
I get that, but why the 4lb, 800-page books sent to millions of people a multiple times a year just to end up in the trash without ever being opened? 90+ percent of their orders have to be digital where they just search the website.
Worked a contract job for them. Would agree.
