Like the other comment said, I would love to know some morally appropriate companies, that way I can choose to use them. Boycotting is nice but if you lack the knowledge of where to shop then it's a fruitless effort

Valid thing to want, but I get the feeling this thread is about alerting people to horrible companies they might not realize are horrible... like my comment about Trader Joe's.

There are large companies, many of them in Germany, who are owned by foundations. Perhaps the best known is Bosch, which is almost entirely owned by a charitable foundation. Another very large one is ZF Friedrichshaven, owned by the Zeppelin Foundation. They don't do any consumer products, but are one of the world's largest players in the automotive industry.

Disney decided to keep their dei policies so that's something.

But they also cut a trans story to avoid controversy and probably other shit things I cant remember atm. So take what you will I guess

Isn't that the same company which refused to pay a guy compensation for choking because he used a disney+ free trial and also completely ruined copyright law

Yeah. That's one of the shitty things I forgot

They don’t follow morality, they follow money. They go for whichever gets them more money and/or less criticism.

Disney didn't. Their shareholders did.
