Large enterprises have become the main organizational form of today
Jigsaw telephone system eagle → metaphor for business ← bad apple monster shark Frankenstein
cooperation agenda, business and company
Company birth: Newcastle coal mining, steelmaking, textile cars, etc.
The corporate lawyers are very smart: After the Civil War, the 14th constitutional amendment was passed, and the blacks also had the rights to life, property and freedom → the lawyer said that the company is a legal person and they also have these rights.
cooperate→limited responsibility→only for the short-term interests of a small number of shareholders, others? Not consider!
The image of the company? Was created.
Externalize costs → Pass the danger to a third party, that is, the general public
Harm to employees: layoffs will search for black-hearted factories built abroad, giving employees extremely low wages and working conditions. Child labor
Are there so many demands on the environment and humanity to starve to death? (Foxconn established its factory in Zhengzhou. At that time, it was reported that N job opportunities were created. However, the long-term repetitive labor and the harm to the human spirit are not considered? However, for a person who cannot eat enough, he is required Embracing a higher spiritual pursuit, why not eat meat? A dilemma!)
In the garbage dump in Dominica, economists found Nike’s financial statements, which gave workers 6.6 minutes to complete the production of a T-shirt. The salary for one piece is 8 cents cents.
Scientific exploitation (1. Massacre and modernization. 2. Are the people in modern black-hearted factories not slaves? It is estimated that they are not slaves in the traditional sense-future generations do not need to remain slaves-but what about their living conditions Need to further find various life data in various periods for comparison)
Industrial transfer ← because the locals no longer desperate (too eager to earn money), and move to other poorer places.
Export processing plant.
Trickle down effect: the development of productivity drives the development of neighboring areas
Free trade zone → preferential policies for investment promotion, such as extension of the tax holiday → workers’ wages are still very low in the first few years of work
Hazards to human health: harmful products, toxic waste, polluting synthetic chemicals (petroleum products make our lives easier, but a convenient life comes at a price-we are just not smart enough to write a visionary benefit-cost analysis.)
Dichlorvos (DDT) was used to prevent the infection of typhus during our war of resistance!
Some petrochemical products are harmful to the environment → affect all aspects of life, not only humans, but also other animals
It is a crime to shoot and kill a person. What if you kill a person chronically? →Industry∝Cancer
Harm to animals: Habitats are destroyed, factory-style breeding experiments, antibiotics/growth hormones are fed to animals → endanger human health (although there is a surplus of milk on the market, but farmers are still willing to give their cows hormones to produce more milk → Anyway, there is a benefit. Produce more milk and make more money. → Cows that have been treated with artificial hormones will suffer from mastitis, which makes it very painful when milking, and sometimes the pus from mastitis enters the milk. [Just ask if you are disgusting!] Then, the bacteria in the milk soared and were drunk by consumers).
During the Vietnam War, the United States applied shedding agents to forests in Vietnam, but this chemical had an impact on fertility. Many deformed babies were born in Vietnam, as did American soldiers, but the Americans could sue Monsanto and finally received compensation (but Monsanto insisted that he was not guilty , And the Vietnamese are not compensated)
(Monsanto was later acquired by Bayer, and Bayer's stock price was still growing. It was such a notorious company, and there were people who supported it. Conclusion 1. The market is random! 2. Too big to fall. PS: To be a digression, it is China. If you look at who is the equity holder behind the company, you will find that many companies that feel like Chinese are actually occupied by a lot of American and Japanese bankers, investors, etc.)
Hazard to the environment: clearcuts net cutting? CO2 emissions, nuclear waste, river water is polluted
The company is guilty→violating the antitrust law, tax fraud, large-scale pollution, violation of the law
(We don’t know when it will fall, although we are sure there will be such a day.)
Humans are not the only ones in the biosphere!
generational tyranny: We impose taxes for the next few generations compulsorily
The morbid state of business, who pays for this psychopath?
Sometimes, the CEO is just a person in front of the board who is responsible for the board of directors and does not have much power.
Individuals may be kind, but they can be extremely cruel in an organization.
"The death of birth" animal is endangered and extinct
Humans are predators of resources/other animal lives
Attacked Iraq in 1991, invested in oil; 911 incident, invested in gold
WTO, IMF, America Summit, etc.
Privatization and appropriation of property vs. public affairs
AOL (a subsidiary of Time Warner) owns the copyright of "Happy Birthday to You"
The level of storytelling in advertising is getting higher and higher (illogical but difficult to make people see the loopholes) → manipulate our purchases (psychologists. Media technology. The more you understand the customer, the higher the communication strategy.) → Create demand ("useless" Philosophy)
Business image
Companies promote not only products, but also lifestyles and ways of thinking. →"Impression Control", "beautiful facade" for companies to do good things
Do not produce products, but produce brand concepts
Disney "Family Magic"
The hormone rBST promoted by Monsanto to dairy cows (the experiment was done on 30 mice for 90 days, and the conclusion that it is harmful to the human body was deliberately deleted by them): Experts, professors, reporters, FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Public → The product was found to be harmful After that, the TV station wanted to broadcast. Monsanto hired a lawyer to send a fax to the TV station. In the end, it did not broadcast in a short period of time (because the TV station was afraid of the defendant and was afraid of losing advertising revenue) → After suppressing the report that the Fox director was bribed, he wanted to spend money to make this The employees of the program shut up → Finally, Monsanto’s lawyers revised their lines (turned the big question into a neutral word minimize, deleted the critical sentence, and changed it 83 times), which became what the lawyers thought could be broadcast. Version → However, these few employees who were not motivated by money resolutely opposed the broadcast. The boss wanted to lay off them. They asked the company lawyers for help but were not helped → Because of the company's revenge, they sued the whistle blower to expose the case → Finally, The lawsuit was not won, and the winning money received before was returned after Fox continued to sue them. (These justice journalists have lost their jobs and have not received compensation)
The United States supported the reconstruction of Germany after World War I
Coca-Cola's Fanta soda was exported to Nazi Germany; IBM and the Holocaust (every concentration camp had an IBM system [the computer machine at the time was a punch card machine] for statistics).
The higher the dictatorship of the country → the better the development of large enterprises. For example, "Mexico was pacified for the American oil company, Cuba and Haiti were pacified for the National City Bank, Nicaragua was pacified for Brown Brothers Securities, Dominica was pacified for the interests of the sugar industry, Honduras was pacified for the U.S. Fruit and Vegetable Company, and Honduras was pacified for Standard Petroleum. Calm down China."-General Butler, said in the 1930s
(About China, those who are capable of studying economic history can write about the influence of foreign capital on wars during the War of Resistance against Japan. At that time, the politics of the country behind these companies, namely the United States, and how many of them controlled or influenced the U.S. government Moreover, how did these people collude with the upper echelons of the Chinese side or invest in a certain political party, and then, how did the Chinese leader give preferential treatment to the original American funders... ← But the above information and data are estimated to be difficult to find)
(Enterprises use money to control politics, such as political donations, funding for parliamentarians and elections, spending money to organize lobbying groups or hiring lawyers, and then use political and military power to grab more privileges on the domestic and foreign markets and earn more money. , Reinvest in politics, and the cycle continues → a small group of people in the business world are getting richer, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening → social dissatisfaction increases...) ← this is not a conspiracy theory, this is true, money can pass power The rich can make political contributions and become top-level elites with money and power, through laws and policies that promote their income...their privileges are beyond our imagination. We small people don't know whether our hard work is worth this salary or whether our salary is controlled by a greater force.
Continuing the story of General Butler, in 1934, because Wall Street did not like Roosevelt who engaged in the New Deal, he wanted to support General Butler in treason. → A veteran organization took to the streets to demand pension/pension bonuses → But General Butler I didn't want to do this and announced the incident. Later, the relevant government departments also found the funders of this organization that was plotting to overthrow the government, including well-known American companies such as Morgan Stanley, DuPont, and Goodyear Tire Company. (I watched the documentary "America in color" before, and it said that it was a veteran who was dissatisfied with the lack of a pension before they rose to protest. Therefore, this point of view today is the second point I have heard about why this happened. How can I say it? History is complicated and confusing. It has been modified in various ways to facilitate its own narrative. It has been observed by various parties to reveal new ideas. It has been understood by various understandings to produce different conclusions... In short, we will hear more about the same event in the future. Different voices, just accept. Also, the United States really interfered in the affairs of other countries. For example, during the Cold War, the United Fruit Company invested by American capitalists really defeated Central America, and the Guatemalan government was also supported by the United States’ non-communist tendencies. By)
The government's ability to manage enterprises has been reduced a lot from the original level! →Enterprises play politics with applause, and fund politicians →oligarchy ruled by oligarchy
(Did the Cold War be because the economic development method of communism would affect the development/income of multinational corporations and these wealthy enterprises, so the rich pressured the government while the upper echelons exerted the influence of "imaginary enemies" on the public, and then This creates a state of hostility, and the masses get a mentality to eliminate communism. Finally, companies use the power of the state to achieve the goal of a few very wealthy, that is, to bring down socialism in order to achieve their own company’s commercial tentacles. The goal of making more profits globally.? ←If this is the case, can history be described in another tone?)
The entrepreneur is the new bishop priest.
Political/business lobbyist
The enterprise "my goal is noble", and at the same time, it understands you better than you.
It is not that the company wants to be socially responsible, but that it wants you to feel that it is socially responsible.
Law ← Lawyers sue companies. But the authorities don't care
Many of the children in the shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado, where they are located, are engaged in weapons manufacturing. (Is there any connection between the two?)
