1.
Johnson and Johnson knew they had asbestos in their baby powder and still sold their products, causing countless cases of ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. -
2.
The Susan G Komen Foundation (The reason pink is everywhere for breast cancer awareness) is a crooked organization that not only pockets the majority of the incoming donations, but actively restricts other cancer research fundraising ventures. -
3.
Knoa Pharma, formerly known as Purdue Pharma. They are the main character of the opioid crisis. -
4.
Brookdale, the senior care/assisted living megacorp. Senior care in the US is fucking terrifying, and they’re at the center of it. Abuse, neglect, grifting survivors into estate-locking deals… Brookdale is evil. And most of us will have to deal with them or someone like them as we’re entering our most vulnerable adult years. -
5.
Luxottica.Pretty much a monopoly on the vision care and product market.They own just about ALL fashion Eyewear and eye care outlets.Hence the ridiculous prices. -
6.
Herbalife. Absolute trash scam ruining people’s lives. -
7.
Value Village. They trick people into thinking they are a nonprofit, take donations that could be going to people who need them, and charge insane prices. -
8.
DuPont. Watched Dark Waters yesterday…wtf??? -
9.
HCA - Healthcare Corp of America The largest, for-profit hospital system in the country (world probably). Imagine if Walmart owned your hospital... that would be an improvement over HCA. -
10.
Tyson Foods, Cargill, National Beef Packing Company, and JBS. Even if you dgaf about animals, they are pretty awful to the people who work at their slaughterhouses, and those four are like 85% of the market, so they also greatly exploit the farmers who raise animals for them. -
11.
PG&E. They've burned down California several times, killing a number of our citizens here. Then having the audacity to play money games with the families of the deceased or those who've lost homes. Fuck Em. -
12.
Elsevier. Established a near monopoly of academic journals. Charge scientists to publish in them (in the thousands) also charge the public to read them (subscription also in the thousands). Convince other scientists to review the scientific content for free (exploiting younger scientists who need to build their CV). Basically putting a pay wall on the results of government tax dollar funded research. Don’t get me started on how major Universities deal with STEM PhD students. Bringing people in as “students”, make them work 40+ hours a week in lab, purposefully misclassify them as students when really they’re workers, apply for large government grants using data generated by these students, make them do all the grading for the undergrad classes, and then complain when the students are begging for 40k/year. Instead tell them they’re lucky that as “students” they don’t have to pay tuition to be there. At the end of 5-7 years of this treatment they’ll give you a PhD. SCAM. -
13.
Bayer knowingly sold blood-clotting agents infected with HIV to Asia and Latin America months after withdrawing them from Europe and the US. -
14.
Lending Tree and Angie’s list are simply aggregators of personal data and have barely helped anyone find a cheaper loan or handyman. -
15.
De Beers - the largest diamond company in the world - has been exploiting workers in the world's poorest nations for 135 years. -
16.
Wells Fargo's pretty shady. I've never worked for or banked with them, but they're pretty shady. -
17.
Comcast. They do not give a fuck about their customers. -
18.
Pearson Vue - Did none of you go to college and shell out way too much money? Or take a standardized test? -
19.
UPS. I have seen decisions made that have killed employees and then the supervisor responsible get promoted. I have seen managers get fired for removing time worked from time cards only to be hired back a month later. I have saw intentional OSHA violations on a nightly basis for years. I see supervisors relentlessly harass employees. Horrible company in every way imaginable. -
20.
TurboTax has been lobbying the US government not to tell taxpayers how much they owe. So that they can make money doing that.
