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.
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…
Line. Must. Go. UP!!!
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?
I’m still waiting for people to rise up. I don’t believe we will ever get moneyless communism in my lifetime but we can and we HAVE to do better than this.
