Just a guess, but when the person you're replying to says "nestle" they mean "the company of nestle, it's employees and all their bullshit" rather than "this specific person from the company" like most people...
I doubt many people are under the illusion that major players in any company are directly involved with astroturfing on websites they don't own.
It's always going to be a low level employee, possibly even an unpaid intern.
Hey now, that's a misrepresentation of both the US and China.
China had way nicer locomotives in 96. It wasn't 1896.
And in the US, that guy would have either been replaced by a machine, or replaced by someone younger who won't be expecting the seniority and pay raises that being there for over 20 years usually gets you.
Why the fuck is it so hard for them to part with what they would consider pocket change?
It's not about the money
It's about "fuck you, I do what I want now do what I tell you or I will throw more money than most cities get in their yearly budget in order to ruin everything for everyone"
I would bet the entirety of my yearly pay that it was absolutely, 100% a joke and they have a perfectly healthy relationship.
We truly live in a society

Evolution.
It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they're making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they're working on. I mean, who doesn't love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.
It's fun, it's ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.
Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans.

Lol nvidia CEO couldn't do my job for an hour.
I am absolutely confident that I could do his job for an hour.
The empty chair in his office does his job just as easily, too.
You can tell me all about the meetings and deals they have to worry about but ultimately, by the time a company gets that large, it could run itself without a c-suite for quite some time.
My last employee orientation really didn't like me saying to the group of 10 or so "anti-union speeches should be just as illegal as insinuating we aren't allowed to discuss wages"
And also I have called a new employee a fucking idiot for saying "guys we aren't supposed to talk about wages" when the topic came up one day and "I'm gonna get a manager" when the discussion continued.
Klingon has an empty crate bounce off him and he's ready to end it all.
I get tortured in a mind prison for decades, and I'm expected to show up for work the next day...
I worked as a bike tech for a sporting goods store and replaced most of the store tools with my own. The ones they had were all the cheapest crap from ebay or Amazon or something. One of the wrenches snapped on the first group of bikes we built when the store opened.
A nice tool that feels good in the hand will pay for itself with the comfort it provides.
I had to threaten to sue them because when they fired a bunch of us and barred us from the store, they tried to say those tools belong to them even after sending them the receipts for everything. And informing them where the box of original tools went. And having to call someone still in the store to bring me out the most expensive tool there and they had the audacity to tell me that me taking it would make their jobs harder because there was no replacement for it and if I could just be reasonable they'll have a replacement in a month so I can come back then.
