are there any multinationals you dislike?
Multinational companies of course...
I don't like Goldman Sachs because they always seem to be in the middle of a financial catastrophe which results in them making money and everyone else losing. Monsanto because...they're just evil in a James Bond kind of supervillain way. Mondelez because they keep messing with Cadbury recipes and moving production out of the UK. News Corp because...Murdoch and his press/government manipulation. |

Air Ambulance is charitably funded (it shouldn't need to be but that's for another discussion).

The UN. They have fingers in far to many pies, loads of celebratory goodwill ambassadors and the like but seen to have lost track of the real job i.e. world peace. In simple terms children should not be the victims of chemical weapons whilst "Anne Hathaway is the latest celebrity humanitarian to be named a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador. The actress and new mom will be tasked with promoting the equal division of care work between men and women, a key issue in preventing gender inequality". I used Anne Hathaway as she came up first in google as her name starts with A no other reason.

Re: are there any multinationals you dislike?
No mention of company in the title "are there any multinationals you dislike?".I know it say's companies below that but that's the way I took it.

Re: I think you can ?
yes, I can edit the current title (and I did edit post #9 title) but not the title of the original post #1
I'm unsure about adding Amazon to my list. On the one hand they are convenient but on the other I'm sick of their Christmas adverts (oh, and they treat their workers abysmally too) |
