- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

I went on a walking tour in Bogota years back and the tour guide made sure to let us know never to eat Chiquita bananas because of this

Sorry don’t know how to hyperlink on mobile
Kinda wide margin there
I thin kit's in the ballpark of 3 to 75,000
Kinda weird that 47 deaths would seem like "is that all?"
Seems a bit intentional:
I can't remember if I killed one person with my car yesterday or if it was 42 people

Thats almost 100 years ago, no one responsible for that is working for that company anymore. I'm usually supportive of boycotting companies, but that seems pointlessly petty
In March 2007 Chiquita Brands pleaded guilty in a United States Federal court to aiding and abetting a terrorist organization, when it admitted to the payment of more than $1.7 million to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), a group that the United States has labeled a terrorist organization since 2001.
The company that is willing to commit terrible crimes including murder is still the same company. They have not been adequately punished for their various crimes against humanity. The punishment for these crimes should have been large enough that the company wouldn't exist today, not just a small fine.
