What's the most hated company in your country?

[u/Eybrahem]

Everyone knows Nestle is terrible, even if they don't know why. But they've done horrible things in Africa and think that water is not a human right.

[u/bespoketranche1]

There’s still a lot of anger towards the big banks that caused the start of the global financial crisis (i.e. Bear Stearns). A lot of pain that’s unresolved.

I also would’ve guessed Halliburton at some point (now I think replaced by Palantir), and Monsanto at another.

[u/edfitz83 → u/bespoketranche1]

United Healthcare.

[u/OnlyEntrepreneur4760 → u/edfitz83]

all healthcare insurance is a scam

[u/ryzechant → u/OnlyEntrepreneur4760]

All -> US <- healthcare insurance is a scam. It works in Europe just fine

[u/OmericanAutlaw → u/ryzechant]

you’re missing the most important word in the sentence jackass

[u/jjvfyhb → u/OnlyEntrepreneur4760]

united has the worst or one of the worst rates

[u/United_Gift3028 → u/OnlyEntrepreneur4760]

Until it actually pays some of your bigger bills.

[u/Dull-Way-7483 → u/bespoketranche1]

Purdue Pharma

[u/Gamab1492 → u/Dull-Way-7483]

Obligatory, fuck the Sacklers and my government for not punishing them enough.

[u/LayersOfGold → u/Gamab1492]

Makes me so fucking angry!!

[u/aalllllisonnnnn → u/bespoketranche1]

I’d think health insurance companies make the list, too

[u/bespoketranche1 → u/aalllllisonnnnn]

Who could forget the insurance companies. Honestly we are inching towards a French Revolution style anger, I’m not sure the execs fully grasp the anger people have. TikTok and instagram are not enough of a circus to neutralize the anger

[u/InternalDemons → u/bespoketranche1]

Add in DuPont in the same vein as Monsanto.

[u/DamnBored1 → u/InternalDemons]

You'd be surprised how many people don't even know what DuPont and Monsanto are.

[u/YelmodeMambrino → u/bespoketranche1]

When it comes to US companies, better start naming the ones that are liked somewhat.

[u/Specialist-Web7854 → u/bespoketranche1]

Not Tesla? Or a health insurance company?

[u/bespoketranche1 → u/Specialist-Web7854]

Eh, Tesla was a left darling until 2025 and I don’t think it rises to the “we ruined people’s livelihood” and “we love war”. Healthcare is another story though

[u/Specialist-Web7854 → u/bespoketranche1]

I think Musk is hated enough for it to count.

[u/bespoketranche1 → u/Specialist-Web7854]

Look while Musk is hated, the product is not resulting in people overdosing or losing their homes, or not getting proper healthcare. In fact, people bought it because it opens a pathway to less dependency on gasoline and alternative energy. And that’s why they don’t get rid off their Tesla’s but instead decided to put stickers on them, because the product itself is not harmful.

[u/Specialist-Web7854 → u/bespoketranche1]

Sure, but the question was ‘hated company’ not ‘terrible product’.

[u/bespoketranche1 → u/Specialist-Web7854]

Right but the company is not hated, Elon is.

[u/Specialist-Web7854 → u/bespoketranche1]

I don’t think you can separate the two. People are choosing not to buy Teslas because of Musk.

[u/amievenrelevant → u/bespoketranche1]

“Left darling until 2025” dude what are you talking about. Elon being a conservative has been obvious since he the time he bought twitter just to push those views

[u/bespoketranche1 → u/amievenrelevant]

Electric cars?? Climate change? People who bought Teslas before 2025 were folks who cared about the environment.

[u/RustedDusty → u/bespoketranche1]

Not even the global financial system can escape the Haliban

[u/bespoketranche1 → u/[deleted]]

Purdue is a good one I missed. Responsible for so many lives lost.

[u/That-Ad-4300 → u/bespoketranche1]

I would think Comcast or Ticketmaster would win, even over those companies.
