Of course, there’s simply no business that’s inhumane enough that this unscrupulous, asshole corporation wouldn’t pounce on it.

This corporation has always been a shady one, but since its 2018 acquisition of the seed giant Monsanto, its business practices have become even more antisocial.

It’s just the way it is: When a company gets too big, it’s always taken over by unscrupulous profiteers who have no morals whatsoever—only boundless greed.

Disgusting!

You think that’s bad? Don’t ask what they were manufacturing in the ‘40s.

Bayer is also behind the German football team Bayer Leverkusen. How they have fans despite the parent company's evil history is beyond me.

I don't think there is a huge overlap between football fans and political consciousness

Well, as co-founders and co-successors of IG Farben, they are experienced.
