Thomson Reuters is based in Toronto, the article says, if any of our Canadian friends want to point that out on related subs

They also have a significant presence in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metro.

As long as they keep getting paid on those contracts, I don't think they care.

Call me cynical, but I'm surprised anyone who works for a giant multi-national thinks they work for the good guys. I hope she wins her lawsuit.

There's a reason for the existence of the phrase, "There is no ethical consumption under capitalism". Money doesn't care who's pocket it goes into and most people care even less so long as money makes it's way into their pocket. It's how all of society ends up as an accessory to a crime against itself, you gotta have money to live, you gotta work for money, so you punch in for satan just to feed your family.

The fact that most people’s reactions to the Iran war is that they worry about gas prices speaks volumes. We don’t live in a good world.

Money is the official language of the United States.

I mean, religion is just a vessel for extracting money from its congregants so...

One might say that, in America, money=religion.

I think most people's reactions are more "how badly is this administration going to f*** up something that demands an attention to detail much greater than anyone at the highest levels of our government are capable of" And gas prices are just the first signal. I think what people are actually worried about are the potential unforseen consequences going forward.  I think the potential consequences of this entire saga aren't talked about as much because there are soooo many, and they are all extremely depressing, so we try and focus on the best case scenario for now, which is still looking less and less likely every day.

She got in the way of the companies revenue stream. That will get anyone canned. Thompson Reuters is a publicly traded company. The only thing they care about is making money.

True in most companies. Stand on the tracks in front of the money train, you will be crushed. How to get crushed faster? Try and recruit others to impede company business objectives or cash flow.

Companies that work with ICE need to be crushed.

Are there any products or services I can avoid to let them know I do not accept this?

literally cut all products/services that aren't absolutely necessary. bonus, ur money just collects in ur pocket. free market capitalist know only one pain, choke the supply. also, think global but when needed, spend local. peace!

Great, but if I'm already going to make a purchase, I'd like to know who to avoid. My kids still need food, clothing, school supplies, etc.

\>> *absolutely necessary* << the "necessary is yours to determine, we all have our own priorities and values. w/kicker: *but when needed,* *^(- okay sure: "try to" ? -)* *spend local*. peace! no, not "the solution" but it's a start! my finance guy: Dewie Choke'em n'Save!

No. They own virtually everything you'd have to stop spending money entirely to send a message

There are WAY too many companies operating that way. I was always told capitalism encouraged competition.

NorthernerWuwu Apr 21, 2026 +2
Quite the opposite really. Capitalism will always result in oligopolies which then devolve into monopolies unless it is restrained by law. At least that has been the warning of pretty much every major economic school since the very early days and is the observable outcome of real-world implementations.
