10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
They only made the commitment to appease the political climate and earn points with the public. It's important to keep us distracted from all the corporate bullshit. They're just doing it again now that there's a new climate.
Called it
When Cervantez requested that McDonald’s reveal the standards publicly as part of her lawsuit, McDonald’s argued that they must remain under seal, claiming that they are trade secrets that give the company a “competitive advantage.”
The competitive advantage is they do nothing and claim they are not liable for anything, thereby saving cost.
She's really tilting at windmills trying to get a mega corp to change it's internal culture.
Yeah I don't think proving or trying to prove systematic negligence is tilting at windmills.
I just like the idea of someone named Cervantes trying to accomplish the impossible.
Maybe I'm not as funny as I think I am, maybe I used tilting at windmills wrong since corporate malfeasance isn't an imaginary problem, maybe it's a combination of those things.
Oh, no that would be funny if i made the connection to the author. Did not remember his name.
