Usually for me I just wrote something in far more of an aggressive tone than I realized and the comment is not worth retyping everything I wrote so far.

But you know Nestle wouldn't. To them child slavery is like steroids on steroids.

Without legislation forcing it, why would they bother? They already have enough separation from the crimes to avoid legal repercussions, and they get to sell data with the "this will be used for profitable criminal activity" premium baked into the original sale price.

It's like expecting Nestle to take any ~~steroids~~ action (weird auto-correct) to prevent child slavery. Why are they going to stir the pot and screw up the nice thing they have going?

There's a thing that cult leaders often do where they make increasingly stricter demands on their followers, it reduces the number of members, but the one who remain are much more easily controlled (because they self selected for that trait. I think something similar is part of the picture for these companies. The people who simply do as they are told and come back (as opposed to looking for new jobs) are more easily controlled by the company.

Also you can't always assume that just because a company is really big it's always making the most best, always correct choices. Like GE managed with "vitality curves."

I have the easiest DIY sauce you can get:

  • 28 oz can of tomatoes (either whole or diced, ived used both)

  • 1 onion cut in half

  • 1/2 stick of butter

You put them all in a sauce pan on medium heat until it looks like sauce.

Yup, that's the Trojan Horse part of the meme. Good movie opens the gates for dozens of crummy copycat movies trying to take advantage of early 90s toy nostalgia.
