What does "let" mean in this context? Do they get a vote?

Wow, they had a choice and that's what they're choosing?
replies:
I worked at a couponing business for awhile and learned that Unilever, Procter & Gamble, and Colgate-Palmolive own almost everything on the shelves in US groceries and pharmacies.
Additional fun fact: idk what the arrangement is now, but my aunt worked at a Kelloggs (incidentally not owned by one of the three above afaik) factory in the 80’s and after filling the branded boxes they’d fill the store brand boxes with the same stuff. Very likely you’re still supporting some of these companies buying store brands.

replies:
As if they have a choice (other than pulling out of Russia completely of course).
The article does not say what they could do to prevent conscription, or if they can do anything in the first place.
Besides, them not pulling out is really not as consequential as it might seem. The Russian government has taken over many of the brands that have pulled out with the consequence that even more of the earnings of the factories in question go to the government. So, while I agree that them staying shows greed, it would not change shit if they left.
replies:
I am unaware of Russian laws. What if the people doesn't want to fight for the army? Will they get punished?
replies:
The BBC is also letting Unilever’s Russian employees be conscripted.
Damn, Capitalism sure does suck.
