EP 18: Top 10 Most Evil Companies

Join Triploi in our first (and possibly only) Top 10 list! The top 10 most evil companies! From BP overthrowing governments and pretending oil spills are just "oopsies" instead of ecocide. Nestlé convincing mothers their addictive baby formula is better than breast milk (spoiler: it's not) to Bayer/Monsanto whose entire business model seems to be an insatiable hatred for humanity and life itself...

Through these, and 7 other cheerful stories, we explore how capitalism's business model is working exactly as designed.

While people often point to Chernobyl as proof communism is bad, capitalism quietly produces several Chernobyls per year and calls it 'profit growth.' If capitalism isn't evil, it's certainly very good at monetising it. (Note, this episode is by far the swearing-est yet, because.... geez, these bastards are evil).
