    Greed and lack of empathy, not capitalism.

    But also they somehow thought they could get away with it in the usa when they declared themselves 2 years ago in France that the foam in their device gives cancer. I really can’t understand the logic, usa is the country of trial and lawyers, they knew they would get sued at some point.

      Greed and lack of empathy

      That’s what keeps capitalism humming along. It’s why a few people own most of everything and the “lucky” Americans will be forced to work until they die. What point were you trying to make when you attempted to correct them by saying that’s not capitalism?

        Because capitalism basic isn’t greed and lack of empathy, I could choose to invest my capital into nearby companies employing homeless people for instance. That would be capitalism.

        I know lemmy population is mostly very left politically but these kind of «  good socialism against bad capitalism » are nonsense and borderline ridiculous. I’m seriously wondering if there is a mob of edgy teenager promoting their political vision on every thread because it always comes down to « uh bad capitalism » every time I look into comments.

    Be happy, you helped make some people at Phillip richer.

    In all seriousness, Phillip itself admitted the foam in their device can make headache, give toxicity and cancer. I’ve not been able to read the official declaration, only news report but if I was you I would check that because when the company itself admit it can give cancer, you know it’s bad.
