I think it's hilarious how [H] has fallen into the delusion over the years of Apple being the worst company in the world, with business practices that are obviously much worse than banks foreclosing on homeowners still paying mortgage on time, wrongfully seizing homes from active duty soldiers while they were deployed, laundering money for Mexican drug cartels, and paying up to 10-figure settlements for their roles in the 2008 crash.

Where's Samsung and Google? Samsung probably puts all tech companies to shame. It should be BoA vs Samsung vs Comcast vs Monsanto.

I would rather people not starve and I don't own any smartphones but all my LCDs and panels are Samsung, longest running display I've owned is my trusty Samsung SyncMaster 226BW.
 
Bullshit list, bullshit ordering. Obviously not impartial or even realistic. Everybody knows the worst company (Monsanto) isn't even listed, as are several other obvious candidates. Rubbish.
 
Oops I see Monsanto is listed now, I somehow missed it in my first scan. My mistake! Definitely Monsanto, by FAR!
 
American eh? Too bad, i'd put Samsung here, but i think EA might be the "winner".

Didn't read the list, did you?

They are listed, as a matter of fact. But they probably won't win. Shame.

Gah, and I didn't see where you say you saw it... But still - what I said earlier still stands. They'll probably not win this one, even though they wholly deserve it.
 
I do not understand how a GAMING company can be worse than companies that have been found guilty of criminal acts. It's just videogames folks.

Ummm....Remember how they made GMO crops in their labs deemed unsafe and not permitted to be sold/grown...then let the seeds out onto farmers lands...then turned around and sued said farmers for copyright infringement?

I think that says more about Monsanto than affordable food.

Oh yea...then Monsanto bought Congress to pass a law making it illegal for Monsanto to be sued for any side effects of any GMO seed products that may or may not have been released.
 
How come our government isn't on the list? :-\

Perhaps it would be unfair competition they would win every year.
 
The US Government should get one side of the brackets to itself, maybe both sides.
 
Really, you have to pick between EA and Time Warner right off the bat? Those are my top two!
 
Monsanto all the way. Their practices are threatening the ecosystem of our entire planet.
 
What no one is talking about and that I am honestly surprised about, is GM didn't even make it past the first round. They have been screwing the American public for over a decade, and lying about it. On top of that, they are killing people and don't care. How do they not make it past the first round for that alone?

Yeah that is an oversimplification to say the very least of what "GMO" foods provide with regards to expanding the food supply and solving hunger. In fact, it's mostly false. The United States is one of the few countries where food is cheap because our economic system strangles third-world nations and permanently locks them in a debt they can never pay back. If you knew where your food was coming from you might be surprised and ask the question, "Why are they starving when they're providing all this food for us cheaply?"

You want to know what gas prices and food should really cost? Go anywhere in Western Europe.
 
I don't see the US federal government on this list. It is a corporation, and deserves to win it all.
 
I really hope EA doesn't win again. I mean, I hate some of the shit they do, but there are far worse companies that easily have screwed over more consumers (I'm looking at you, Comcast, Chase and Citibank).
 
yea, there are much worse things in this world than pissing off some gamers

This isn't about science makes food evil, it is everything Monstanto does is evil and wrong with no conern for people or the enviroment...read up a little a get a clue about what they do to your food, what they do to local farmers, lawsuits and so on, the list goes on and on about Monsanto and your post just shows how clueless you are about what you eat.

and there a hundred more reports about what they do as well.
 
Normally I wouldn't be against Target, but after their security debacle, I think they deserve to beat out McDonalds.
 
don't blame Target, blame the company that made the PoS system, which also affect Macy's and a few other massive stores that remained un-names.

High tax rates (over half of the cost of fuel in Western Europe) are not what something "really should" cost, taxes are artificial inflation to the price of the product. More expensive feedstock, property, labor, electricity, government structure, distribution, and transportation are not what something "really should" cost, they are artifacts of local economies in Western Europe. In the US, our prices are ~12-15% above what gasoline actually costs in the market from a consumer perspective or about equal when you figure in the tax breaks that companies involved in the process receive that would be passed on to the consumer if they were removed. For our local economy, the US is fairly close to the "actual" price.
 
McDonalds easily. They literally sell food that causes cancer. They even have a warning sign there.
 
I don't see how EA can be even close to the top of the list. There are companies that have ruined many people's lives or continue to do so.

EA well.. just makes games- some of which are bad and a few good ones here and there.
 
Comcast takes the cake for me. I dont think I eat enough McDonalds to get cancer. And the EA is irritating, but mostly inconsequential outside the gaming circle. Chase sucks the big one, too.
