Didn’t take companies long to stop pretending like they care. We are fucked.

    Did take companies long to stop pretending like they care.

    Of course they care, they care about what their customers think because that’s where their money comes from. This is just how corporations work, and it would have the opposite outcome if their customer base wanted those goals of theirs.

    If you want corporations to change then convince them that they’ll make more money that way, by whatever means. Through customer preferences, regulations, etc. Don’t expect a corporation to “do what’s right because it’s right,” any more than you should expect a shark to “do what’s right.” It’s not designed that way.

      this is a nice thought, but ignores the fact that most of these ‘customers’ are being guided by propaganda from other corporations.

      its not like those customers are naturally coming to ‘i want to destroy my own planet’ conclusions. they are led around by a ring in their nose just like the animals they feed.

        Amazing, isn’t it?

        I know the carbon credit industry is highly problematic, but simply reducing emissions?

        It’s not meant to be a good thought or a bad one, just a description of how things work. If you want the customers of this company to change their mind then you’ll need to direct your own arguments and/or “propaganda” (as it will likely be perceived by some) at those customers and outdo what they’re being fed by opposing groups.

      Their actual customers were giving them a lot of love for being supportive, especially during pride month. Then the alt-right crybabies caught wind and started throwing a tantrum and they instantly folded.

      It’s too bad corporations evolved in nature and there’s no way to get rid of them

        If one needs to modify corporate behaviour I did mention regulations as one way to do it.
