why do they have to be such cunts?

greedy pigs

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

that's how they got to those positions, though scheming, back-stabbing, and insatiable greed to fill the void of their soulless egos.

They were the first America brand to enter Russia?

Makes sense they wouldn't give a shit now.

It was only ever about money for them.

[-] ilmagico@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It's not too surprising that a for-profit company is all about the money. It's literally their obligation to make money for the shareholders.

[-] Clent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Except many for profit companies have pulled out of Russia. Ethical businesses exist.

[-] ilmagico@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Maybe. Or maybe, they just calculated that they'd lose more money from the bad PR than they'd make from Russian business

Many were forced to by the sanctions. Some by proxy when they affected the banks, making it tough to transfer the profits.

Yes. We're tracking them at https://kbin.social/m/BizAgainstRussianInvasion. We're also tracking sponsors of Russia's war on https://kbin.social/m/SponsorsOfRussianInvasion.

We = @Cloudless & I.

Itt: surprise that sponsors of war and politics sponsor multiple sides. 😧

I'm surprised nobody has created a meme about this yet.
