Hyperbole magnifies a real tendency, this is completely divorced from reality.

The fact that food is recalled if there is even the slightest chance it could get someone sick is further evidence that this meme was made by someone who has no idea how the real world works.

Ok let’s play a fun game. Is that stuff recalled by the companies willingly, or by the government enforcing health and safety regulations?

Both, and they’re both part of capitalism

Tf are you talking about? Recalls are a financial burden on companies. It cuts into their profits

Like you do realize that these standards had to be set in place because companies would literally send out food with like rat shit and diseases in it, right? You read your history?

Then why did revival health and conair cuisnart both voluntarily recall products this week? Why did Johnson & Johnson famously voluntarily recall 31 million bottles of Tylenol? If voluntary recalls supposedly make no sense, why do they keep happening?

I love how we have to go back to 1981 to find an instance of a product that had a gargantuan recall lmao Also that literally happened because Tylenol didn’t have a factory seal on their products. Someone was able to put cyanide in them because the company didn’t have high enough safety standards

Thats just the most famous example, I also listed large voluntary recalls this week. But you’re dodging the question. Why do voluntary recalls happen if they cut into profits?

Publicity. Companies don’t want their name soiled. There’s a reason corporations such as amazon (ik not technically a place that does recalls a lot but stick with me) will try to prevent unions from forming or from workplace conditions getting out

Exactly. Public trust is a huge incentive that this meme leaves out entirely.

Hyperbole or propaganda?

Yeah that’s not them being good, that’s them realizing they didn’t get away with it lmao. There’s a reason corporations are always pushing for less government oversight
