    Same with Coca-Cola and others. They get it for free from local governments the world over and then charge for it, whether it just be bottled as is or something made using it.

    And yet those governments still get (re-)elected…

    In switzerland they had a referendum to make Nestlé obey swiss environmental/social laws abroad… and… after mass propaganda from all the big companies this would affect. The population voted no. Fucking bleak.

        Switzerland also voted no to increase holidays lmao. Direct Democracy doesn’t work when the population believes in the propaganda that any improvement of QOL will remove prosperity.
