The breadth of these companies is almost immeasurable. Nestle owns an immense amount of resource rights (eg the largest siphon of natural water from the Los Angeles basin) and industry (#1 food producing company in the world). Disney is the leading intellectual property holder of the world. The ubiquity, innate cultural knowledge, and economic strength of corporate entities in the world are part of what keep society stable. The brands are stable, so families are able to be stable and confident about the future.
This is why I picked out examples from multiple industries, all of which are known actors, who have been slapped on the hand for heinous acts over recent time.

I'm sorry, but how is that supposed to be an argument that removing Disney would have negative consequences?
- ClumsyPilot 6y agoSo we fine Starbucks for tax evasion, they close shop and you think they will not he replaced by local businesses literally overnight? 'The brands are stable, so families are able to be stable and confident about the future.' You mean zero-hour workers at Dysney, or warehouse workers at Amazon that confidently piss in a bottle?
