Definitely better than a standard corporation, but since the workers aren’t the owners, they can still be exploited at the end of the day. With worker coops, the workers democratically run the business that they spend most of their waking hours working at. With consumer coops, the consumers decide how the business is run (in an ideal scenario), but the workers don’t get a say, or at least don’t get more of a say than consumers, assuming the workers are also consumers.
Basically every corporation at this point. Buy local when you can, even if you disagree with the local person’s politics if your only alternative is a megacorp go with the local source.
They can be a shitty person, but they won’t have the capital to invest in overseas slavery and election interference like mega corps
Be specific about your reasons for J&J or people may assume it’s a tylenol thing. Next thing you know there’s a red hat surgically attached to your head, your IQ matches your shoe size, and your cousin has become inexplicably sexually attractive.
Not only that, but they knew about it at the same time that they were aggressively advertising to black and Hispanic women, telling them to powder their crotches, which caused a bunch of uterine cancer
Nestle, Unilever, Mondelez, who else should i add to my boycott list?
Capitalism… All of it.
There isn’t a single multinational that acts based on ethics or morality.
Depends if you view any larges co-ops as a multinational, or are they merely alliances? Not all capitalist, though.
I wouldn’t consider worker coops to be capitalist, since by its very nature, it’s “workers owning the means of production.”
Well, that’s Mondragon OK then. And the other sorts of co-op? I think the consumer co-ops may be the biggest.

hmmm… but at least they’re being exploited for the benefit of the commonwealth not the capital! (whistles past the graveyard)
What about Arizona Ice Tea?

True. Mainly because asbestos in baby powder is an acceptable ingredient apparently.

I’m glad I only ever applied that shit on my feet while wafting the baby powder scent into my face.
I remember the good ol time when J&J was boycotted for the covid vaccine, how reasonable it would seem in contrast to what’s happening nowadays
Monsanto would be a good addition.
I’m not in the US so this one is easy
German Bayer bought it after it was on thin ice due to the roundup lawsuits.
