The worst corp I can think of is Nestlé, these pieces of shit have done a lot of environmental damage and have been known to engage or complicit in slavery.

Erasing Nestlé is like erasing the infectious boil on a human body.

What foul company would you erase for good and why?

Maybe Goldman Sachs. Manipulation of many markets, both contributed to and profited from the 2008 crash. Which they paid a $550mil settlement for when they're like a $100bil company. Imagine making $50k a year, committing fraud ("misleading its investors") at a national scale affecting millions, and getting fined $250.

Also manipulation of gas prices, food supply/prices, insider trading, they're just the freaking worst.

Nobody gonna at least honorable mention Walmart? It's been a bane on local small business from the start, but it's also been funnelling wealth out of communities.

When employees have to both live off assistance AND can only afford to ship at Walmart with their employee discount, more wealth goes to Walmart than they ever pay the employee and the community just gets poorer all the meanwhile.

There are a lot of extremely strong candidates, but I’m gonna go with Meta on this one.

I know everyone always says Nestlé in threads like this but what are they still doing? What damage would you save by getting rid of them?
