  • I am unable to find a news report now, but I am certain I read one back in 2018 or 2019. I believe that Conservation International (an organization that helped develop the C.A.F.E. standard the company uses) was discovered covering up the certification of one of the farms in Brazil. As I remember reading, that a farm was at the time listed somewhere as being certified but after slave labor was discovered, CI uncertified the farm and attempted to claim it failed to meet the C.A.F.E. standards, thus never was awarded certification. They weren’t saying the certification was revoked; it never had any.



  • Just so people are aware, Starbucks was caught buying from farms in Brazil multiple times that used slave labor. In Guatemala, along with Nestle, were caught buying from farm(s?) that used child labor.

    EDIT: On top of this the company partnered with Conservation International to certify the farms met the company’s standards. The incident in Brazil saw CI trying to coverup the certification of that farm. Also CI is involved with arms dealing.

    EDIT 2: Their retail products have the claim “100% Ethically Sourced”. That is a lie.

    EDIT: I got the slogan wrong. It is “Committed to 100% Ethical Coffee Sourcing”.





  • Have you all read 1984? First they will make thing illegal. Then they will hide away what is illegal. After that someone will learn something was illegal. Once they are found out, that illegal thing will be completely changed so there is no evidence anything was illegal to begin with.

    I would not be shocked if try to scrub these bans so users can’t see if a community was banned.






  • Yes, no one has actually seen these numbers before.

    EDIT: Trump continues to demonstrate that he either doesn’t understand how numbers work or refuses to accept what the numbers represent. How the fuck is there more than 100%? I’m going to comment on this based on the cropped quote, not having read anything else. You can’t have more than 100%. That would mean the crossings at the boarder completely stopped and in addition to that there are people who decided to give up their citizenship or residency status and leave the country. That just isn’t how numbers work.

    Or he is just lying completely or refuses to know what is actually happening.
