foremost proponent of corporate ethics
abandoning a pledge to pay direct suppliers a living wage by 2030
So, the "foremost proponent of corporate ethics" is NOT already paying a living wage? Fucking rofl.
That just shows you the standard of corporate ethics.
Been pretty low since 2016
Has it ever been high?
Corporations inherently have no ethics or morals. There's only regulations and the ethics/morals imposed by the people running it.
Damn wouldn't it be sweet if the FDA, FTC, and FCC Would like, do shit about stuff?
Guess who actually controls them?
Lobbyists!

Scale back? Wtf
That way, in a few years, they can announce a bigger commitment for positive PR that they have no intention of keeping.
This is why we need legislation. Companies are perfectly happy to green wash. Marketing is cheap.
Things are getting better so it's only natural.

Love your name btw. 👍🤣
I am on a quest to redeem my irascible soul 🙂
