All citizens around the world need to break free from their governments. All governments are majorly compromised and are working with world bankers and globalists which is very very bad. We need to create a new world, that's healthy, and free from domination. All governments of the world are guilty of crimes against humanity. We never should have governments. We can have healthy cities and societies through voluntary built society. Think about it. These corporations are in bed with lobbying with our government, essentially controlling laws made.

Thank you for posting this. You're a fantastic journalist and the world needs more of you. In situations like this and the recent Boeing issues, the federal government should have the ability to hold a trial and if found guilty, to liquidate the entire company, return assets to debt holders and shareholders if there's any left, and jail the executives responsible for it. If investors could lose their shirts by supporting a dangerous company like this, they'd force bad actors to be better.

Just your average corporation. Any corporation would enslave you if they could - actually they try every day. This is what corporations do - do anything and everything for the next 1% of profit. And, to be honest, that is their job. Should they not do it, investors would just take their money and go somewhere else.

[@thecrimsonfire4921]

You’re kind of wrong. Business is supposed to be about providing more value to others then. And often when chasing the bottom line that leads to failure, because customer satisfaction and ethics matter despite what people think. However, you are right technically, since corporations hold a feduciary obligation to its shareholders to increase profits short term. Not how it should be though

Standard Business Practice is the issue: The people making the decision to further starve a famine wracked country didn't do so deliberately. They where simply following a guide placed in front of them, that stated if X then they should do Y. This guide isn't a magic window that see's all, it has a single focus point that everything is based around. Yet this guide, this pursuit of profit concept, is treated as if it is the only thing you need to be righteous. And those using it are blind-sided all the time by PR.

When the CEO or whatever said "water as a right is an extreme idea," he isn't exactly wrong, though still a dick. Water is a need, or requirement, but not exactly a "right". I know this is going to cause people to react, so I need to say this carefully: You need water to continue existing, it is cruel to have it denied to you, but the earth or universe doesn't exactly owe you a drink. It should to be provided to you to live and work safely, and employers like Nestle *should* and usually do legally provide you with access or don't deny access to it in the course of a job, which we as a culture and society lump into "employee rights". Or, we expect a government to provide that basic access as part of our rights as citizens who agree to a social contract where we expect these things to be provided. But, no. Water, *by itself*, is not a right. You wouldn't want Nestle claiming an ocean as their property and telling you that a few bottles are your share under your "rights", and to "drink it or don't". That would be giving them am extreme amount of power.

[@MrZmaniscool]

16:26, I love the content & I'd like to proffer that GMO isn't humanity's only viable technology to end world hunger. There's more interesting nuance. There's plenty of food, the issue is more of nutritional quality deficit & supply chain issue; which includes food deserts and child obesity in the US. I often notice ppl don't seem to actually know what a GMO is; put simply, it's blasting radiation at 2 sets of DNA to merge them into something that wouldn't occur naturally. There are only about 16 GMO plant types. Vs selective breeding vs CRISPR GMOs are primarily used by industrial corporate monoculture farms. In contrast, Europe banned GMOs & produces more food per acre than USA. Pointing to technology being the real advancement. Using your taxes, the US gives out staple foods for free to countries in need, but in so doing destroys the local economy's ability to self sustain. Haiti can't compete with free US food aid. Agri subsidies from your taxes primarily benefit major farms more than small farms. We don't even need monoculture. We could focus on local regenerative & sustainable farming for cheaper. Sources: UN SDG2, USDA data, & some others. (Excuse my lazy citations & don't tell my profs, haha). If interested, I can get my class syllabi with all the sources we used.

Companies are legally obligated to seek as much profit as possible. This isn't a Nestlé problem, it's a capitalism problem.

[@thecrimsonfire4921]

The only reason nestlé is able to do so much harm is because it’s a legal entity in the form of a corporation that has had every legal action against it literally squandered by government. This isnt capitalism. In a free market you’d be able to easily find competitor items for everything, probably with an ethical approach too. But the food market is over regulated. In a free market you wouldn’t be able to lobby the government, or news media (weirdly scary how much control nestle has on media reporting. Big choc in general tbh).

[@daveburrows9876]

What? In what way are companies "legally obligated to seek as much profit as possible"? An unregulated capitalism is problematic, but how do you propose we get away from capitalism? What other viable options are there? I lean towards socialism, but there isn't a single example of a socialism that has even done as well for it's people as capitalism. The social democracies of Northern Europe seem to be as good as it gets, but they're still based in capitalism.

@@thecrimsonfire4921 Free market capitalism is not the answer. It's the problem. We need a well regulated capitalism. The idea that companies aren't going to merge and become monopolies, that we're somehow going to have more choices not fewer, is as naïve as it is preposterous.

I get it, you're telling a story, so you must make shortcuts. But you keep conveying a narrative that really isnt in touch with yue reality. I.e you state Nestlé is responsbile for child labor in private held farms because it doesnt pay enough for raw materials. Shows me you dont know how the business works locally, nestle doesnt buy to the thousants of local farmers but to local agregators that themselves take a confortable margin. And even if, since when in a capitalistic market we define what price to pay ? Prices are defined by supply and demand. Let's be crasier and say Nestlè has a moral obligation to pay higher raw material prices. Fine, then it must mean that ultimately prices have to increase to reflect increase in cost of.raw material. But then all of a sudden youre not longer competitive and loose market share to competitors that them don't pay higher prices for raw material. So really at the end of the day, there is no logical argument in nestle solely paying higher for raw material prices. Truth is, it's a very complicated subject with hundreds of variables to take into account. Saying nestle is evil because you can't comprehend that the problem isn't one entity but the system itself, just goes to show you don't really get what the problem really is Ps: i understand youre just a youtuber that likes to tells stories, and obviously algorythm.makes it so that flashy titles and claims sell better, so i really dont blame. But i still strongly believe that your video is not in touch you reality, and what youre describing is a problem linked to capitalism and not to entities that work under that system

I'll defend Nestle with the farmers they are buying from using their kids as labour because all farmers do this! Christ it's called doing chores! I know younger millennials and gen-z born in cities have to have a twitter meltdown if their parents ask them to do anything but come on! Third world farmers especially use their kids as cheap labour it's why they generally have more children and even China during it's one-child policy phase allowed rural farmers to have two children. Paying them more wouldn't make them hire outside labour when they have children already especially since a lot of farm work can be done before and after school.
