I commented about corp. greed yesterday. Here’s a perfect example: Meta projected 10% of 2024 revenue came from scams and banned goods, Reuters reports that the co was hesitant to crack down harder on scams, due to the billions in revenue that they were generating for Meta. #bigbiz #greed #screwu
We can't trust business to take care of people and planet! We will not be fooled by #BigBiz and we'll be out on the streets until national & EU governments... 🚨 #HoldBizAccountable 🚨 At the #BackToTheFuture march with Sian from @antislavery.org and Virginia from @mvoplatform.bsky.social
Is there any #trust left for #bigbiz? Or have they #exploited so much that all trust has been destroyed?

For businesses that charge a % "convenience fee" when I use my credit card with them, I'm going to start applying the same % deduction fee to my tip I give.
