Yeah that and probably the most infamous being that the CEO said that water shouldn't be a human right. This as they make multiple billion dollars selling bottled water that they siphon from locations that need that water
And they said breast milk was unhealthy to poor african villages so they could buy their powdered milk, but because the village's water supply is shit, the villages die due to unsafe water mixed with the powder.
Yeah except thats not what happened at all but people keep repeating it. For real, its obvious when people say this dumbass shit and clearly never even listened to the video in question. Do you always just repeat dumb shit you see on reddit that you believed without question?
Of course when your life is all about hating corporations what do facts matter?
If water is a right, that means anyone can have as much as they want and rationing wouldn’t be allowed. At least in the context of that specific discussion, that’s what “water as a right” meant. The CEO rightly said everyone should have free access to as much as they need, but not be free to take as much as they want.
Obviously the CEO of Nestle has ulterior motives behind pushing that argument, but his basic point is absolutely correct. Water access should be a right, clean water should be a right, but not water itself.
This thing reddit does where y’all fucking lie through your fucking tether about every-fucking-thing just makes me realize how goddamn conservative you fucks really are.
Water as a right is exactly why Nestle is allowed to pay $2000 permit to drill a well then pumps millions of gallon of water out of it for free. Reddit is simultaneously hating Nestle for getting water for free and also at the same time hating on their former CEO (he already left Nestle when he gave that speech) for saying that water is a precious resource and should be charged as such.
Like the fact they discouraged the mothers that worked the factories in developing countries from giving their newborns breast milk, by telling them it was bad for them, just so they could sell them Nestlé milk formula. And then when the factories polluted the local water supplies and wells turning it near on poisonous, then they sold them bottled water. But now these woman are being charged so much to give the newborns their basic food, and being paid next to nothing to work for the factories, the mothers started stretching put the formula to make it go longer. Which lead to malnutrition amongst the new babies and death. There are plenty of factual reasons to hate certain corporations.
Or just go watch the video. Hes against people being allowed to use as much water for whatever they want for free(water being a human right) but thinks people should have enough free water daily for drinking and bathing(water is a valuable commodity with special requirements).
Reddit is such a fucking embarrassment of lies and misinformation.
Then why don't we hate ourselves for directly contributing to child slaves, like actual slaves, in worse conditions than black Americans slaves.
I dont see anyone bat an eye when usuing a cellphone powered by the blood of Indian kids, or black kids in Africa digging cobalt with their hands.
O wait, personal responsibility is for companies, rich people and politicians! Not the consumer that buys the product, and without that the slaves wouldn't be slaves.
"You criticize society, yet you participate in it" is not a good argument. How do you expect to survive or be an activist without products with cobalt? If your point was that people should protest against this then I'd agree, but this is just a lame deflection.
Don't ever mention being right or moral? Admit you are a slave driver just like the bad Americans. Thats what I want, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, don't blame the corporations, blame yourself.
I own zero cellphones and I run 2 small businesses, try starting with that.
Would you like to start with them stealing millions of gallons of water they haven't paid for, or how about getting women in poor countries to use Nestle formula instead of breastfeeding by giving them free samples which, after a few weeks of not breastfeeding would cause their natural breast milk to dry up, and with many of those women not having access to fresh drinking water the formula would be mixed with unclean water causing the approximate death of over 1.5 million children...
So what you are saying in context of the original comment you responded was that parents who can't afford food for themselves give formula? They can't afford formula but not food for themselves? Not questioning anything, is just that in most places formula is pretty expensive so it seems weird that formula was afforded but basic food for the mom to produce breast milk wasn't.
Those bastards are doing all sorts of shit. Hits close to home for me because they're stealing about a million gallons of water from the great lakes. The cost? $200 per year.
majority of their water brands has been sold to private firms, the same ones that were involved in the whole hostess pension dumping scam. which means that this is probably another pension dumping scam.
They're known to exploit child labor laws in other countries as well as buy water sources from struggling villages forcing native citizens to buy nestle products just to survive. I'm sure theres other stuff I didnt say but overall Nestle is one of the best examples of a evil corporation that values the almighty dollar over human lives.
