why do they have to be such cunts?

greedy pigs

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] ilmagico@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Rose@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] MisterD@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

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