Shein's Rival in Exploitation: Boohoo | Corporate Casket Nov 19, 2022

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.

It’s time for a fast takedown on another fast fashion company. Boohoo has become a competitive and notorious rival to Shein in the world of fast fashion and in scandals. They claim to be making a push for sustainability, but their 100% sale, and over 400,000 styles a year seem to beg a differ. As for the people that make all of their inventory, well, let's just say the company’s labor practice leaves something to be desired. But hey, Kourtney Kardashian says she is here to save the day! That always works out great, doesn’t it?

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.

Since at least the 1940’s there has been a movement in the United States to get food from sources that don’t rely on artificial means of growth. From pesticides to genetic modification, there has been a following of said movement for nearly 100 years. It doesn’t come as much of a surprise to us that, just like most foods, milk has also become the star of its own show of misinformation. Let’s dive in and see how deep the story goes regarding raw milk.

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.

Dolce and Gabanna is one of the biggest fashion houses in the world. With dresses that cost more than a lot of people’s rent for an entire year, they claim their clothes, bags, and accessories are more than just fashion; their art. But, the company, and subsequently the owners of the brand seem to be skilled at more than just designing clothes. They’re pretty good at stirring up some controversy and creating massive scandals. They don’t seem to care though, as it seems they are pretty much uncancelable. Still, can’t blame a pyramid for trying. Don’t feed the monsters.

The student loan crisis in the United States seems like a near-constant conversation. But, as the whole country seems to constantly have the same discussion—one thing always seems to be missed: Private Student Loans. It’s been described as the “wild west” a “lawless” industry that takes advantage of the most disenfranchised and runs scams almost as much as any MLM I’ve ever seen. From Navient, Sallie May, and even Discover, everyone seems to have a new scam. So, what’s going on with Private Loans?

Why Even Comcast's Employees Hate Them | Corporate Casket Nov 10, 2022

Comcast is one of the most hated companies in America: but why? They’re slowing America down, throttling your internet, and even employees loathe them. Between pricing, monopolies, and every other issue under the sun, it’s no wonder Comcast is so hated. How did they get so bad, though? Was it always this way?

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

This fraud may be greater than Theranos, greater than any Ponzi scheme, greater than any MLM: it’s the fraud around Alzheimer's research. So much we thought we knew about this disease is a lie. Now, before we can even begin to unravel the truth to Alzheimer's, we have to unravel the lies.

We’ve seen cancer scams before: charities and non-profits that take advantage of people’s goodwill to line their pockets. However, few take it to quite the extent that the Reynolds family does. Some estimates claim that less than 2% of the money donated to their organizations went to cancer patients, and the patriarch of the family has had his children create cancer non-profit spin-offs—each just as bad as the last.

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been controversial for a while now. His hateful comments have garnered justified outrage, and yet companies working with him drag their feet and some still praise him as a genius we just don’t understand. So, is Ye actually a genius, or nothing more than a bitter, pathetic, angry, washed-up man?

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

The Slenderman is arguably the most famous and successful Creepypasta of all time. But in recent years, Slenderman has been blamed for several violent incidents, including multiple attempted murders. The most famous of these murder attempts occured in Wakausha, Wisconson, when two 12-year-old girls stabbed their best friend 19 times and left her for dead. What caused this horrifying attack? Is there something insidious about Slenderman that inspires murder? Does dark or graphic media cause violence? Is anyone to blame for all of this?
