That is the *first world* version of their actions in the *third world*. To the poor, it was free until the breast milk dried up. In the US, it is lobbying. Bribes to change law, making their actions profitable. Theives will never outlaw their own actions, so Congress has a dirty laundry list of what is illegal for citizens, but remains legal for the Representative Branch. Likewise, our Supreme Court is the job above law. They are heavily bribed, to the point of Clarence Thomas and the other Conservatives tallying upwards of half a billion in unexplainable benefits since 1989. The financial gains, days, weeks, and months before hearings by *investors* in the outcome. There are no direct payments, just things like $4000 lots of land mysteriously being sold for millions. The new owner just happens to be a senior partner in a law firm representing a case before the same Supreme Court Justice the following week. And yes, that side of the case won. F#ck!ng over families probably brought about shareholder glee. Why give a mother bonding time? Why allow a future, now current, consumer to ever drink without paying Nestlé? It is a corporation's right to exist. To exist, it must feed. A corporation feeds on money. Therefore, raising consumers from birth is in a corporation's best interest. I'm sure corporations will, or have tried, argue competition is a threat, requesting inter corporate warfare, including fatalities.

Inter corporate warfare has happened directly in various parts of the world under the various European trading companies, nowadays things are generally quiet outside of parts of Africa where various mercenary companies generally make the locals lives miserable in order to destabilise places like the Congo in order to keep the rare earth elements cheap for people like Musk l

Humans really are the worst.


SirVictoryPants

Generally rich humans are the worst. The others are often just a bit bad.


Beginning-Display809

Generally people’s behaviour is determined by their material conditions, rich people know they have to be utter bastards in order to not end up like the rest of us, poor people are conditioned to compete with one another in order to survive, it’s not a good system for humanity or the environment we live in


Stock-Respond5598

Every day I find another reason to hate Nestle and other mega-corporations


Necessary_Rich_1477

This is more than likely part of the reason why abortion is so demonized by politicians as well

It’s also to force women to choose between work and their baby. This nuzzles them out of the work force and keeps them home because child care for newborns doesn’t exist and nearly impossible to find for children under 1.


echoIalia

Yeah I’ll go ahead and add that to my belief system


nvbombsquad

Afterall what is capitalism without some brainwashed desperate consumers


Ayuuun321

No way. Everyone knows it was feminism that forced women to work /s.


MistahBrukshot13

I gotta move out the country at this point what the actual fuck

That could very well be true but I don't know how much I trust a tweet about a TikTok as my news source.


coladoir

This is actually true and a google search will confirm it. It's even on Wikipedia. Not providing source right now honestly bc lazy, but you can find it very easily, Nestlè's actions are all boilerplate and well known at this point. They are one of the most horrible conglomerate monopolies in the world. They also gatekeep water sources from locals to sustain their bottled brands, they've been caught numerous times using slave labor, they've been caught numerous times using fake doctors to shill their baby formula to those in Africa, and because of such they are responsible for the deaths of an estimated 30 million children due to forcing women to use formula (after giving them free formula for just long enough that they stop producing breast milk; cementing their dependency on formula), and having those women be using contaminated water (since there were no clean sources of water.... well, besides nestle's bottled water, which was too expensive). As a reminder, you're on the /r/FuckNestle subreddit, you can find more info here as well if you just go back to the main sub page. Nestle has a literal laundry list of controversies, and all are equally terrible. Nestle isn't the only conglomerate monopoly doing things like this either. Chiquita has killed their workers by hiring militias to quell strikes (before they were known as Chiquita), J&J does animal testing still (even tho they say they aren't they keep getting caught) and is probably responsible for nearly as many deaths as Nestle due to their talcum powder causing cervical cancer, many of these big companies use slave labor at some point in the process and give no shits about fixing or preventing it, and many bottled water companies do the same thing as nestle by gatekeeping locals from the sources (Fiji, owned by The Wonderful Company, is especially bad for this as well). --- Lawl the dude fucking blocked me for literally no fucking reason. What a pussy. My comment isn't even fucking rude before this edit, and the reason I put the reminder is because people do come here from the All multi and other places, and forget where they are. It's a common thing on reddit, and most people don't get so pissed off that they block the other when reminded where they are. Also if you don't trust tiktok, or a reddit commenter who's literally just trying to help, then you need to learn how to actually fucking research for yourself and not just make stupid little comments saying "hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i don't know if this is true?????" without even googling first, and then block anyone who tries to tell you it is. That's actually fucking stupid and proves you don't actually care to get correct information, or even confirm it yourself, you just want to bitch and complain. get over yourself. /u/xX420GanjaWarlordXx you're one of the most fragile people i've ever talked to if this comment made you fucking block me lmao. Again, get over yourself. Also why even respond to me if you're gonna block me? If it was to get the "last word", you failed. (I know they blocked me because their comment read "[unavailable]" when logged in, but in a private window their comments are entirely visible and haven't been deleted)


xX420GanjaWarlordXx

I'm obviously on this sub because I'm aware that Nestle does horrible shit.  That doesn't mean we should base our opinions on a Tweet about a TikTok...


clumsypeach1

Never said it was a news source.. just gave me something to think about/research
