25 Most Evil Corporations in the World

[@georgeadams1853]

One more thing about Nestlé -- Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, a former chairman and CEO of the company, famously said that water is not a human right. That statement, in and of itself, should dispel any doubts about Nestlé's evil intentions.

Hey Mike, I'm completely blown away about the sheer number of evil companies! How about an episode that directs consumers to companies that actually care about the environment, it's workers and maybe give back to the community?

[@brianarbenz1329]

The problem is, the corporate model is evil, meaning even the good corporations are likely to go bad. With PACs, Wall Street, mergers, and the Money is Speech legal doctrine, there really are no corporations to look to for conscientiousness.

[@LorriBaker-nq8rs]

😮.. Idea request seconded!❤

[@boneappletea3858]

Good luck...even the "best" well intended companies hide detrimental business practices. Usually because they're viewed as pro-enviroment, humanity, accountability,etc. Any company that's been around long enough turns into a money making monopoly at the expense of service, product, freedom, and the planet.

[@Cypresssina]

When I was younger I was a CNA. I worked at a nursing home and had sat with a lovely woman while she was eating. She ate her entire meal and even asked for extra pudding. She had Alzheimer's, so that was quite a thing. The RN asked me how I gotten the lovely woman to actually eat all of her dinner. I advised her that I had just talked to her. She said, "Don't bother talking to the Alzheimer's patients. They won't remember it anyways." I was losing my grandma to Alzheimer's at that time. That was my last day as a CNA. My grandma died shortly thereafter by choking on her dinner at a similar home. When my boyfriend's mom was ill, I wholeheartedly supported keeping her at home. She didn't want to stay in a home or stay in hospice. She had been a RN who has worked in hospice and emergency. So yeah, I completely agree with what you said.

[@robinsmith5442]

I took care of my mom in her house the last couple years of her life, I didn't really know how much my brother appreciated this but he and my sister have been great to me. She passed in May of 2017 but I know she really appreciated my help.

It's almost as if every company has done some extremely evil stuff, and should therefore all be viewed with suspicion..

[@AtSafeDistance]

that's why the corporation was invented. So scumbag rich people could do scumbag moves without being associated with it. The very design of a corporation is to force the company to continue providing ever better profit margins by means of selling smaller versions, using less quality ingredients or materials ... until the company is put itself out of business by ending up providing an inferior product which is overpriced and has almost no customer support

I definitely hate the corporations that have the corner market on our health care. High prices for medicine or nursing homes for example. It is hard when family members are struck with 3 or more problems that will lead to death, because they can't afford insurance to see doctors to get meds they so desperately need. These evil people also get to dictate how long they see their patients. Ridiculous!!!!!!!

FUN FACT: When _Coca-Cola_ was first made it contained cocaine, which was not illegal at the time. Also, I’m old enough to remember when soft drinks came in glass bottles that could be redeemed at any store that sold that brand. Small bottles brought you three cents (in those days of penny candy) and a large bottle would get you a nickel; before the switch to plastic, the prices went up to a nickel and a dime, respectively. When I was in the fourth grade (1965-66), our class had a field trip to Coca-Cola bottling plant in Santa Clara. WHEEE! Fun times…

I resisted shopping on Amazon for many years. However, when local stores stopped carrying what I needed I had no choice. Often Amazon is much more expensive than local stores or even local stores of national companies. But you get tired of wasting half a day driving to 6 different stores and then going home and ordering it on Amazon anyway.

Personally I try to use the websites of major shop companies who also do mail order, so you know you will get what you are paying for, plus the same level of customer service, you would normally get from the shop.

# 20 Goldman Sachs One detail that must be remembered with the info here: They, like all lenders, were forced. Barney Frank's House Banking Committee wrote new rules *requiring* lenders to make sub-prime loans. [A sub-prime is a loan that would not have been made based on the applicant's provided info b/c the likelihood of their default was so high.] Being forced by these rules to make these very risky loans, of COURSE the lender will seek a means to bundle the mortgages as an asset, being "future income" satisfied by the borrowers' payments. Then - as their credit history suggested would happen - borrowers began defaulting massively and the mortgages were worthless. Had the House Banking Committee not forced the loans to be made, the problem would not arisen.
