Vale do Rio Verde, two of their (mining waste) dams broke in Brazil, killing thousands and permanently damaging the ecosystem of a entire river

KPMG, Deloitte and Mc Kinsey, for reasons that include at times being both financial auditor and bookkeeping at the same time, and consultancy meaning reducing headcount no matter the cost.

I don't really know all that much about it honestly but all I've heard of them, is that they get the smartest people to do the worst thing that they can get away with.

Any physical therapy/rehab centers under Select Medical. I worked in one of their regional offices processing insurance claims and was exposed to the grossest type of capitalism. Profit through healthcare.

I did my best to make claims take an insanely long time to fully process so the patients weren't hit with their absurd bills right after they just got done with major medical issues. I kept one guy's outrageous bill in limbo the entire 9 months I worked there. He was a local to my area and I knew by the info in the system that he could not afford those bills. I made sure he didn't even see the bills the whole time I was at that job.

I had my ankle reconstructed a couple of years ago and I knew the bills were gonna be crazy. It took 4 months for me to get them and by that time I was already back to work. I like to think that someone was keeping my bills in limbo while I got back on my feet. I paid off the bills a little then lost track of it all and then decided that I'm just not paying medical shit unless I am forced to pay on the spot.

Virtucon. It's a large telecom that actually is just a front for a doctor who is always trying to do messed up stuff. He's known for cruelly strapping EM radiation transmitters onto fish and then getting them really riled up.

Adobe.

I use good on you app to find ethical, bio brands. It's hard to find good companies, but they do exist.

Any franchise or corporation that makes their religion known. So fuck chick fil a, hobby lobby, and in n out.

Any local small business with political signs or flags, or religious things on full display as well.

For the big makers of pseudo-science based bullshit medicine, see Weleda (naturopathy, anthroposophy) and Boiron (homeopathy).
