Of course we’re all sick of the Kung Flu, Wuhan Virus, Corona virus – gotta call it by all its names, don’t we? Yes we do. But what’s making it even worse? Corporate America. Try to find a company website that doesn’t have some phony “we care” tag line or virtue signaling paragraph about how much they’re doing to help the cause.
They’re all full of shit.
Like Honda.
Look at this.
Together? If that woman and/or her kid gets sick, will Honda send a nurse to their home? Or pick up the medical bills? Exactly what does Honda mean by “together?”
They’re bragging because they donated $1 million dollars to some virus effort. Last year, Honda grossed $143 billion. Wow.
But most are just as fake as Honda. I’d hold Honda in much higher esteem of they gave nothing to any Corona virus charity, but stopped pushing their phony “we care” narrative. It’s repulsive. It’s insulting.
In a matter of weeks, corporations have shifted from enviro-saints to virus-saints and I’m not buying any of it.
When this pandemic has passed, they’ll go right back to their enviro-pitch or whatever cause they think excites people who believe in…bullshit.
Gotta give props to Apple. I’m not a fan of their stuff, but there’s not a word about the virus on their page.
I’m liking Coke even better. Pointy chicks (look at the smile on that knockout on the left!) and they’re not even social distancing!
Ford doesn’t give a shit about Corona either.

And fuck Honda.
