They don't, trickle up works much better and enriched corporations even more. Look what happened when they sent out all that covid money to people, the spent it and it went right to the mega cap bottom lines. They gave people rather small cash payments and when all those people inject it into the economy it runs profits up and prices up, because then the companies know they can raise prices even more and people will pay it.

No doubt about it. California is feeling the major squeeze right now across the board. Raise the minimum wage, raise the price, lose customers. I'm on the east coast and we are bracing for disappointment. Everyone is talking up the summer business but I think reality will come crashing in and people will pull back.

Of course, it is an election year so who the hell knows what is going to happen......

True or false, it's irrelevant. A red herring at best.

What you or I do regarding our personal carbon footprint is spitting into the ocean compared to what the Fortune 500 does.

Again, I would encourage you to actually read the study. It doesn't say what you think it does.
 
Unfortunately, the fines and bad publicity will be just a drop in the bucket compared to the profits made during the illegal dumping activities. It's all too common to see these huge corporations getting caught doing something dirty or illegal and suffering just small (in the grand scheme of things) monetary fines. It's basically incentivizing wrong doing because it is the most profitable route!

But nothing will change as both political parties are "in bed" with the big corporations. America is nothing but a greedy pig. A dirty, filthy, greedy pig.

Raising prices 25% after a -25% wage increase is ridiculous. Prices should have gone up about 7%.

You pay a scientist/doctor/"expert" millions of dollars, they'll say exactly what they are paid to say.

Tyson is going get hit financially from this, big time. They are the number one food producer so the only way to go from the top is down. They thought they were invincible. Nope. They just got caught. The other lawsuits that will pop up from this are going to take years to sort through. Lawyers from every corner of the country are going to pounce on them. "My client got sick from contaminated water." "My client's pets and farm animals died from your contaminants." It is only beginning. And then there is the damage control that Tyson is going to have to spend to get them out of this PR nightmare.

Tyson will have their sacrificial firings under the file of "these individuals responsible, directly and indirectly, are no longer part of the Tyson family. We are extremely disappointed what happened and we will do everything to regain your trust." They will fire a plant manager or two, send them off with a fat severance check, but never never will anyone in the Tyson front office accept responsibility nor feel the pain, financially, of what is to come. They will deflect and point the finger but will not say that they did it knowingly. The kicker is "not knowing" and "choosing not to know" are two different animals. Profits override safety and doing the right thing every time.

And the kick in the pants? Tyson will raise prices on all their food items to offset the coming losses. Oh, yes. They will..........

Anyone know if there was any huge fine against Tyson for this?
