What three corporations do you utterly despise? and why?
    #19119544 - 11/11/13 09:21 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Me -
Cox cable - shoddy service without customer give a shit
Whole Foods - Just complete garbage - not one shred of caring for the consumer - totally commercial sleight of hand
Monsanto - people who would destroy the whole world for a profit, care less about you and the future than Pol Pot.

Could you elaborate on your beef with Whole Foods, please?

I know that their store-brand packaged goods used to be more conventional/unhealthy than one would've assumed.

I can't be bothered just as they can't. Sorry. But they have killed my entire neighborhood. I have another thread here more on topic.

So you're angry at Whole Foods because their broccoli was overpriced?

So, I live next door to WF. Ten years back they built a WF in a huge barn with a metal hood. The neighborhood never knew at the time of the plan that they would put in a huge fan to air out the barn parking which would rattle permanently and never turn off. There has never been a moment of silence in this neighborhood ever since. 


The parking was routed through the pedestrian neighborhood and the traffic and parking has fucked us in the ass. AND they never were true to the delivery rules they signed and they deliver shit starting at 2 AM in the mother fucking morning. Then they have the nerve to charge 7 bucks for plebian broccoli which I can get for 2.39 at Walmart.

Finally they have no complaint department.  So I am fucked muddy in the butt and I have to love it.

Huh, that does suck. Has your community organized to try to deal with the noise and traffic problems?

Broccoli can be troublesome because it doesn't grow well in hot dry weather, which means that if the weather doesn't cooperate it gets shitty and expensive at the same time. Any chance they were sourcing it locally and the the supply took a shit on 'em?

At any rate, I never do "real" grocery shopping at WF. Far too rich for my blood. The only think about it that I like is the prepared food section.

Here is your option concerning a corporation if you don't like it.  Don't patronize it.  Here is your option if you don't like your government.  Suck it.

Monsanto, McDonalds and all the junk food pushers, Coca Cola and Pepsi and all the sugar pushers, the tobacco industry as a whole, and for that matter the alcohol industry as well. Without some of these last fuckers we'd have more generalized shroom and acid use and such, because what else would there be to do.

Weapons dealers and manufacturers. Drones tanks bombs etc. I don't mean hunting rifles I mean the military crap. I'm pretty sure they have their ways of encouraging conflicts and "liberations" and
"bringing democracy" to brown people, anything that would increase their sales.

Media and advertisers. These people hold most of the magic powers that used to be the domain of the shamans and priests back in the day, to shape the collective mental landscape. Now they hold it, with immensely increased effectiveness due to technology, and they prostitute it all to the highest bidder, no selection at all as to what gets promoted all over our cities and our minds. Military recruitment, disgusting unhealthy addictive useless products, dangerous overpriced pharma pills, lowest common denominator crap. The fact that there's no selection here makes our whole "civilization" a highly immoral enterprise in many ways. Anxious nervous obese people with short attention spans looking for quick fixes, because our magicians have sold us, and themselves, to whoever walks in the door with the thickest wallet. Yes some of us manage to avoid their noise and not buy into the crap, but the fact remains that the channels that should help us all improve and reach for the stars, are completely flooded with mindless spam.

Ha, Spacerific, I think you just listed company by company by biggest holdings; MCD, KO, MO, RGR, BA.

Either way my list would be:

Verizon (This used to be Comcast, until I switched to Verizon, and then realized Comcast was child's play in comparison.)


Honestly, I think that's it. Just Verizon. Both Verizon Wireless and the home phone Verizon - so I guess that sort of counts as two companies. For a company that sells telephones, try getting anyone that works there on the phone. It's nearly impossible.

There are a lot of other companies that make me upset, but I would never get Verizon anything ever again.

Hm yeah, I'm in advertising, it feels like selling your soul to the devil sometimes.

Agreed, I have been in media before (worked for one of the ancillary companies that owned the Village Voice), it was the most awful place in the world. Just the sleaziest people you could imagine.

Only way to make enough money of photography for now unfortunately...
If I get to where I need to be I can hopefully only do the commercial jobs I desire (for companies and initiatives I support) and sell personal work.

(they are only sleazy people because most of them are artist's that have realised they have sold their soul and got bitter or now regard advertising as the holy grail as some sort of defense mechanism - I do think however that there is a lot of skill involved in the trade. An artist get's away with mastering one trick and doing that over and over again. In advertising, the creatives have to master many, many tricks...)
