Why SpaceX? I hate Musk and do not support any of his other... anythings. However, rocket go zoom then land without boom is fun to watch. I am genuinely curious why SpaceX is bad.

I completely agree about everything else you mentioned.

Yeah, Musk is a true innovater by having them blow up the concrete launchpad on launch instead...

The government got more money from the patents NASA got then it cost to fund NASA. Privatizing space hurts everyone except the rich asshole who gets the parents.

For fucks sake.

I clearly said I do not like musk. I even went as far as saying I hate him but still that's the first place you went. What the fuck?

why SpaceX is bad.

For example they "decorated" our night sky with thousands of their satellites. Never asked permission. Astronomers around the globe are pissed because their work & results gets worse. Other people who own satellites are pissed because they don't behave up there.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

I have read about the interference with astronomy and am not for it. It didn't occur to me when I asked.

Thanks for answering my question.

Private companies have no business being in space. It sets a dangerous precedent for the future.

Any good publicity for SpaceX is ultimately good publicity for Musk, who's made himself the face of that company too.

Autism Speaks. It has a pro-eugenics mindset, so you'd think everyone would be boycotting it, right? Nope, in fact it's partnered with the Jim Henson company.

As far as which companies "deserve" it, it would be quicker to list the ones that don't.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the 224 (so far) comments... but another bad guy worth hating is

Hewlett Packard.

Their

"Hey, you need to have our proprietary ink cartrige in your HP inkjet printer plus scanner to print AND to scan as well. The scanner won't work when you are out of ink"

Is just plain fuckery.

Comcast / Xfinity. Have been forced to use their services for years until a viable alternative arrived in my neighborhood, paid $110 a month for internet to be down at least 2 days a month when my wife and I both work from home. All calls and tickets and emails were met with "you're not using out router and we don't see issues on our side, sounds like a you problem".

Almost left for ancient Century Link pipe when internet was out for 17 hours one day, called 3 times and finally got a competent person on the line not saying the above. Instead said they had done maintenance in my neighborhood and when they sent someone out to look at the uplink it was magically working again. Filed for a service refund thing since it was way below the promised availability and I had to reschedule meetings because my hotspot was slow and they gave me a $1.35 refund to my $110 bill that month.

In this thread:

Let's boycott the gaming company that we disagree with! Also I guess that company that's using literal child slavery for their chocolate. Quite the disconnect here, I don't think the people making Mario games deserve the same punishment as the people buying up all of the housing market because they can in order to rent out said houses to the same people who were originally trying to buy them

What's a company that doesnt deserve to be boycotted?

[-] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

Tobacco and oil companies. All of them.

[-] netchami 16 points 8 months ago

Vanguard, BlackRock, The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Nestlé, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, Twitter/X, any company owned by Elon Musk, pretty much every Big Tech company, Disney, almost any media company, as well as every major bank.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

Why Vanguard? They primarily offer passive index fund investments at very low costs and are owned by people that have invested in any of their mutual funds. Before Vanguard, the average investor would get screwed by financial advisors who would skim a large portion of investments.

All the major meat producers. And fast food chains.

There's been so much publicized in recent years about their treatment of animals, their lobbying efforts, how they treat their employees, how they're ruining the environment, how they fix prices and force farmers to "get on board" or else. It's really bad but we don't care so much because it's hidden beyond our periphery.

I know no one wants to be told to reduce or complicate doing the things that bring you joy, but reducing your meat consumption and shopping at local producers is something we could all take small steps every year towards doing.
