Do you mean blackrock? FIFA and all the international sporting organizations suck and are corrupt as hell but they’re just not on the same level of evil as health insurance companies. Nestle is, but it’s evilness isn’t really in America, it’s elsewhere, and elsewhere isn’t armed to the teeth like we are.

I’m shocked it’s taken this long.

Nestlé is Swiss, and the Swiss have a gun ownership rate that doesn't exactly say "not armed to the teeth". And they siphoning the great lakes is definitely a North American problem.

The Swiss may have plenty of guns (they take it home after army duty), but that doesn't mean they have bullets.

Don't go around spewing NRA rhetoric.

They do have bullets, all that is stopping the from using them is some wrapping that is "not to be opened".

There's a reason Switzerland has the highest rate of guns used for violent death in Europe. The fact that they have one of the lowest rate of violent deaths is unrelated.
