After dieselgate and the discovery that VW was subjecting monkeys and humans to exhaust fumes in experimentation, their sales are still fine.

I honestly don't think consumers give a shit about what negative things companies do.

Exec at Trump Media Jumped the Line for U.S. Visa After Company Lobbied GOP Lawmaker (www.msn.com)
 

A congressman intervened to help former President Donald Trump’s social media company jump the line for a difficult-to-obtain foreign-worker visa to bring a company executive to the U.S., according to interviews and records reviewed by ProPublica.

A former staffer for Rep. Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican, said the congressman personally instructed her to help Trump Media, even though she thought it was inappropriate to mix politics with the office’s constituent services duties.

Bottlecap question (lemmy.world)
 

Hidyho.

A few months ago I was watching a YouTube video of a woman bottling her kombucha. She had bottlecaps that would bulge when the carbonation was just right.

I looked for those tonight via searching on Google but couldn't really find the right thing.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

This would be perfect for my kombucha and water kefir tester bottles.
