Why the fuck would I buy something that poisons me?

Exactly what fireweaver says

If they make something that poisons you

You don’t fucking buy it

They don’t profit

#bringbackhager because he understands

So they pull the product

@Fitzydog it actual cant be here in canada

If something is bad for society people won’t buy it

And the corporation won’t make a profit off of it

^ thats not true at all

@flyingfoxel bloody quebecois

@flyingfoxel smokers weight their cancer sticks vs the high they get

soda, cigs, hamburgers, MLP, Furries companys make money off toxic shit all the time

hell for fuck sake we put lead in the air by the tonn per day at one point so ford and GM could be lazy about piston tollernces

Hopefully it blew up steam to Toronto

they knew that shit was Toxic for damn nar 10 years and lobbied to keep it legal

that is why it's important to be informed

back to the responsibility thing

Yeah but things like hamburgers, soda, cigs etcetera aren’t products that kill you on the spot

noone has the time to stay in formmed if you are informed you are likely not a common person

They certainly aren’t healthy

lead in the air is a good example

But it’s not like they’re offering you a cyanide pill for breakfast instead of bread

Hard to be informed when the companies also produce counter narratives

Lobbying does you no good if you're gonna get lynched if you vote to fuck people over

Thus comes the responsibility argument

hell teflon is fucking hella toxic people still cook with it in pans

we need good journalism to expose bad practices

Hard to do it when most people don't care @Pseudo-Logic

@Deleted User that’s hard to come by these days

unfortunately

but there are still people doing it

Or at least, the big journalism outlets drown out the better smaller ones

the whole point to Consumer regulations to stop companies from doing shit is because we know from experience that people are two fucking stupid to look into it themselves

it always comes out eventually though
even the biggest corporations cant hide their garbage

they can and have for almost a genertation MULITPLE TIMES

yeah, but those companies get lawsuits

with no consequnices when all is said and done in the end because they met thier meens

they do risk assments all the time, if X makes C amount of money and Z number of people die. so long as Z value is lesser then C they do it.

like with the whole Toyota cars thing, they guessed between 50-150 people would die due to thier stuck foot metal BS and figured the lawsuits were cheaper then the total recall
