A #MustRead article.

"Thalidomide, mad cow, cancers and obesity epidemic caused by food high in fat, salt, sugar and chemical additives, are some examples of diseases and disabilities manufactured in corporate boardrooms by wealthy executives living in leafy suburbs. Companies don’t bear the social cost of irresponsibility."

"The finance industry is riddled with frauds and fiddles..."

Taming corporations is the key issue of our times

To appease corporations, people may raze mountains, divert rivers, clear forests, cover countryside in tarmac and shower subsidies upon them, but they have no loyalty to any place, people or product.

That's an amazing article.
Like you say #MustRead.

We had a federal election here earlier this year.

Feeling that we'd now have a Greens led coalition in power, instead of a continuation of the #Duopoly, if voters had read this article.

I always read anything I can find by Prem Sikka.

He was active on 'that place' but I won't use that, so I find his articles on other social media.

I wish there were more like him.

Are you aware of @RichardJMurphy ? I understand he and Lord Sikka are friends.

@TalktoBeverley @RichardJMurphy
Thanks.

I follow Richard already.
I'll follow #PremSikka now.

Once my fellow Australians have made sure we can criticise any country that is committing war crimes, I'll repost that "corporations" article.

@skua

I should have checked that before posting! Derrr...

Lord Sikka doesn't seem to be active on here any more. I keep meaning to write to him to ask him to bridge (?) across to here from BlueSky where he seems more active.

@TalktoBeverley
The hashtag has found me another couple of toots about him.
Even if he's not here (yet 🙂 ) they improve my Timeline.

@skua

And thank you for reminding me about hashtags! I'm hopeless at remembering to do that! I'll edit my post.
