"Black Lives Matter!" proclaim the megacorporations, some of whom recently had a significant judgement against them for colluding to suppress the salaries of their own staff in the US.
"Black Lives Matter!", they splash across their homescreens with a beat of the chest, while their supply chains are intentionally filled to the brim with people, sometimes children, working in terrible, often physically dangerous, conditions for terrible pay under authoritarian rulers.
These same megacorporations, apparently now fighting for equality, while sheltering hundreds of billions, if not trillions, in tax havens or offshore to prevent their profits from impacting the societies they operate in. They who pay their CEOs in the hundreds of millions per year while offering only cheap, temporary contracts to a vast amount of their workforce, often minorities.
Pardon me, but I think my cynicism with this industry is peaking. Wake me up when the same entities do something meaningful beyond shallow, populist pandering.
