Ethical Employers ... Yeah sure.

Huffington Press gives a run down on the 12 most unethical corporations in the world including the "usual suspects" from the oil and gas industry. You would think that people with boundless resources would occasionally see the "bigger" picture and rein in their excesses. Actually I've worked for a so called ethical company and this was pretty grim in some ways. The west in particular is deadened by the legacy of "new age" thinking and "progressive" corporatism. My employer was an otherwise competent engineer who used to hang around with useless psych-major types and had some odd religious ideas. Saskatchewan can fuck anyone up. Add in the fundies ... well. I pointed out to one of the denizens of Lumsden that conservative areas always seem to have the highest crime rates and the answer I got was "oh its the Indians". Duh. The left of course isn't any better. I argued with a social worker at a bus stop that a guaranteed annual income would be a practical solution to poverty ... her response " they would just abuse it". Left wing, right wing, chicken wing it's all the same shit out here.
