    Chiquita (or a parent company idc).

    Among the many other bad things they did, they knowingly AND REPEATEDLY hired terrorists, and also moved the US to overthrow the Guatemalan government just for a few labor laws.
    Is it even possible to get an order of magnitude more cynical than that?

      Name a company that wouldn’t do it too if they’d get away with it. Not saying they’re not pieces of garbage, but it’s the system itself that’s rotten from within

        It’s not rotten but working exactly as intended. The problem is precisely the intention.
