I like how TOTE, the parent company, didn't do any internal investigation and seemed to not be punished for any of it, and is still in business today.

What are you talking about, they settled out of court with families of the people they killed for undisclosed sums of money without admitting wrongdoing, the worst imaginable punishment for a company

Fun TOTE fact, they have one of their two WA <-> AK boats out of the water right now, retrofitting it for LNG fuel. Because of this, we're going to be short on toilet paper and paper towels in AK because SCA (paper products company that makes all the toilet paper and paper towels you find in businesses / restaurants) only ships those products in 53' conex boxes, which ONLY fit on the TOTE cargo ships. It's supposed to be back in the water by the middle of February but who knows.

They can ship them in regular 40' conex boxes but it's extra work that they don't want to pay for so they're just not gonna do it.

The great toilet paper panic is right on time for Spring 2022, at least up here.

I love how some lovely company just remake its branding to fit what they feels sells better in the current market, and people view it like some giant political battle happened and human rights activist won.

Like they use child slave labor and poison water ways. They seriously don't give a poo poo what activist think.

they could probably do an ad campaign that simply says 'yeah we use child labor deal with it' and the ensuing internet uproar would just result in an increase in M&Ms sales.

Did you just post the screenshot so people wouldn’t read the column or what? It’s not great, but it’s also not the truly brain damaged take lauding M&M Mars for ending the patriarchy the headline implies. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jan/26/mms-have-had-a-progressive-makeover-could-this-be-feminisms-sweetest-victory

quote:

Alas, Fox News is not quite so enthusiastic about the fact that chocolate characters that nobody with more than one brain cell gives a drat about are updating their footwear. “M&Ms will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous,” Fox host Tucker Carlson recently railed. “Until the moment you wouldn’t want to have a drink with any one of them. That’s the goal. When you’re totally turned off, we’ve achieved equity.”

I'm pretty sure from that quote that Tucker Carlson wants to gently caress the green M&M

I also like the implication that someone you'd have a drink with is someone who turns you on.

I feel like Tucker's writer wraiths put that in there when they realized "oh this sounds a lot like he wants to gently caress the green M&M, we should deflect that... what else can you do with the :females:? Drink I guess?
