Hello everybody,

What is the company and corporation that is the object of your hate? What did/do they do to get that spot for you?

Mine is Facebook/Meta for their egregious data collection policies, psychological manipulation of its users, and more recently, them not seeding content.

Thanks in advance for your time! Have a good one!

Uline, owned by the Unihleins. They contribute millions of dollars to the most extreme republicans in Illinois and other states. They funded Bruce Rauner and Daren Bailey. They were behind fake newspapers being mailed and fearmongering cashless bail.

They are also behind the scheme to have a downstate judge try to hold the governor in contempt over mask mandates.

They also help run "Illinois policy institute"

Are they the ones behind the post cards/flyers asking you to quit your union and buy a console or go on a vacation with the approximately $700 you would potentially save?

The Janus in Janus v. AFSCME works for Illinois Policy, so probably.

the antiunion/buy a console instead poster was delta airlines in 2019.
