In reply to the discussion: My email to Land O'Lakes today. [View all]KY_EnviroGuy
(14,490 posts)62. Thank you, Delphinus.
Considering that very few corporations are community minded or socially conscious any more, I think this sort of effort can have an impact (and in this case, it did).
I stay furious over how large wealthy corporations and individuals have captured control over much of our government via PACs and lobbying, considering they're using our money to do it. Their goal is almost 100% to increase quarterly margins and raise profitability through efficiencies (cut/layoffs), and saying they care is just fluff and bullshit.
I'm delighted we have a great bunch of folks on DU that really care about these issues......
