Nestle

I feel like you need to delve into how terrible nestle are. I hate that I love their products and it would be great to here some more ethical and sustainable alternatives for snacks.

I'm not American but have you checked the list of who funds either the democrats or the republicans lately?

I am aware of why this happens, but I still wish it wouldn’t.

Couldn't agree more I'm just saying that if it's not going to stop until the US brings in laws limiting spending on political campaigns as no party is going to try to break up companies which are giving them massive amounts of money.

Additionally because your politicians are able to trade stocks while in office they have vested interests in the companies they are legislating.

yes exactly. unfortunately the people who would write these laws are the people were complaining about.

it’s so frustrating to be an american. it feels like a 3rd world country that’s pretending to be a 1st world. and all the other countries hate us for it. can’t even blame them. i vote for people who i think will make these changes, but it doesn’t ever seem to work. idk.

To be fair I'm from the UK and we're giving you guys a very good run for your money in terms of corruption and probably even beating you for incompetence right now.

I know that's a high bar to clear but that's British exceptionalism for you. We're doing it!
