Do you mean blackrock? FIFA and all the international sporting organizations suck and are corrupt as hell but they’re just not on the same level of evil as health insurance companies. Nestle is, but it’s evilness isn’t really in America, it’s elsewhere, and elsewhere isn’t armed to the teeth like we are.
I’m shocked it’s taken this long.

Nestlé is Swiss, and the Swiss have a gun ownership rate that doesn't exactly say "not armed to the teeth". And they siphoning the great lakes is definitely a North American problem.
Yeah the Swiss seem to be who Americans think we are. A free federation of states that embraces the multiple cultures that formed it and is filled with responsible gun owners who are ready to defend their country if need be.
The Swiss may have plenty of guns (they take it home after army duty), but that doesn't mean they have bullets.
Don't go around spewing NRA rhetoric.
They do have bullets, all that is stopping the from using them is some wrapping that is "not to be opened".
There's a reason Switzerland has the highest rate of guns used for violent death in Europe. The fact that they have one of the lowest rate of violent deaths is unrelated.
Cough here you go.
I was referring to the third world countries where they do their worst offenses
Like literally killing babies! Fuck Nestlé.
Blackstone and Blackrock deserve to be on the list.
Silly thing- Gboard swype got Blackstone first try twice, but failed twice on Blackrock, then gave me blackcock. I've never typed that as a compound word in my life.
Hahaha. What is black stone? I know of black rock but I didn’t realize there’s two black earth things
Blackstone is a big money company specialized in leveraged buyouts. Leveraged buyout is the nice word for hostile takeover. They buy companies, fire everyone, sell everything that isn't bolted to the wall and then sell the building and dissolve the company.
It's very profitable and terrible for the workers. But you gotta have big big money to play their game.
I can’t believe I haven’t heard of them. I’ve heard of the concept though. Isn’t that what mitt Romney was up to with Bain capital?
Damn right, I thought about mentioning Mittens at the end but I didn't want to dilute the post.
