Oh, you like that bagel company? The owners made their money from Nazi slave labor

German billionaire family that owns Einstein Bros. Bagels admits Nazi past

quote:

The German family whose holding company owns controlling stakes in companies such as Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Panera Bread, Pret a Manger and Einstein Bros. Bagels profited from the horrors of the Nazi regime, according to a bombshell report in a German newspaper.
...
The report found that Russian civilians and French prisoners of war were used as forced laborers in the family’s factories and private villas around World War II, when it was involved in chemicals-related manufacturing mostly for the food industry, according to Deutsche Welle.
...
The report was a reminder of the way that some private businesses that are willing to put moral and human rights concerns aside are able to profit from the repression of fascist regimes.
...
Harf told Bild that the company plans to give about $11 million to charity after learning of the family’s history, the AFP reported. 
...
The Reimann family, which has been described repeatedly in news reports as “secretive,” has an estimated wealth of some 33 billion euros, or about $37 billion, according to the AFP, and is believed to be the second-wealthiest in Germany.
...
According to the AFP, the company employed as many as 175 forced laborers, and produced items for the Nazi military and weapons industry. The company has not provided compensation to any of the forced laborers, “but we have since talked about what we can do now,” Harf said.

“We want to do more and donate ten million euros to a suitable organization,” he said.

No tears for billionaires here, but if I were them I'd probably feel less guilty if I just donated more and still be insanely rich.

After a bit of research I bought my daughter a pair of athletic shoes. I'm an idiot, and they're one size too small.

Rather than take them back, I offered them to one of my daughter's friends who lives down the street (right size for her).

She refused them because she doesn't wear anything off brand.

NONE OF THAT IS GOOD FOR SEA TRAVEL! this makes me irrationally mad, but that's also the point of conspicuous consumption, isn't it? Not the pissing of the proles part, but being able to decorate and lavishly fill your seastead mansion with gaudy things that will quickly rot or fall over and break. Besides, you've got a crew to just move it from beautiful weather port to beautiful weather port where they'll redecorate and replace stuff.
