It's Their World, You Just Pay Rent In It, Suckers
Amazon, Tesla and Meta among world's top companies undermining democracy - report — 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 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.
At Amazon, the report notes the company’s size and role as the fifth largest employer in the world and the largest online retailer and cloud computing service, has had a profound impact on the industries and communities it operates within.
“The company has become notorious for its union busting and low wages on multiple continents, monopoly in e-commerce, egregious carbon emissions through its AWS data centres, corporate tax evasion, and lobbying at national and international levels,” states the report.
Do any of you pantywaisted sissies have the guts to hang these people by the neck until they're dead before they use you up & throw you away? No, you just keep buying cheap plastic crap from China via Amazon, at inflated prices. They're selling you the rope they'll use to hang you, & you'll fucking deserve it.

Democracy is bad for business. NeoFeudal Techno-Mercantilism is the Future. Old Billy Gibson wrote about this 40 years ago...
