The pet industry doesn’t care about your beloved best friend. Certain individuals might, sure, but generally speaking, profits over people applies here, too. Pets are often treated as commodities, kept in poor enclosures, and are in poor health, to boot. From the food to the toys you buy, manufacturers have shown they don’t care about you or your animals.

Dubai is known for its incredible feats of architecture. However, in the early 2000s, it was responsible for one of the largest architectural failures in terms of cost, environmental impact, and failure to come to fruition. The artificial islands were meant to awe and inspire visitors. Instead, they crumbled, changed the nature of currents, and to this day are nothing more than expensive sand dunes.

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die. Cops weren’t always portrayed as the good guys in movies, tv, and the news. Back before 1910, they were usually shown as “incompetent fools”. But, that’s when police organizations stepped in and shaped how the media could portray law enforcement with threats, blackmail, and bribes. By 1950, the LAPD had control of the scripts for one infamous cop show, and thus: Copaganda was born. Today, it’s everywhere you look and it's impacting more than you would ever guess.

Almost three years ago, people were met with shock when the news that Pornhub had been profiting off of horrifying videos released without consent for years. Almost immediately, it seemed like the end. Credit card companies were pulling out, they erased a massive amount of content, and nearly 2 million people had signed a position to get the company to shut down. But, after taking a closer look, people had some questions. The whole campaign was led by some notorious Christian cult-like groups like IHOP and Exodus Cry. Was the pornhub scandal really what it seemed?

Every day when we open our eyes we seem to be surrounded by one word: woke. According to some people, “woke” policies that focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion are the absolute downfall of society and they are everywhere. Wokeness is in our schools, our places of employment, and even our media. There is no escape! But, what does “woke” really mean and is it really what people think it is—or is it just another dog whistle?

If it exists, there’s an MLM for it. In this case, we’re talking about Usborne Books, now known as Paper Pie, and Southwestern Advantage. Both of these book MLMs have made questionable income claims, but it’s their worrying messages, whether in their books or in their businesses, that has people wary. While Usborne books may be steered toward children, Southwestern Advantage targets college students to sell their products—and they don’t seem to care about the safety of their distributors, either.

In the 1980s, as the United States struggled financially, one man came forward claiming that he could fix everything: Ronald Reagan. Poised and Persuasive, he introduced a plan that would allegedly help everyone recover financially. He cut social spending, upped the military budget, and reduced the taxes on the wealthy. All of this was meant to lead to prosperity for all, but now, the outcome seems much darker. As the richer get richer and the middle class quickly disappears, we grapple with this aspect of our history. What was the real impact of Reganomics?

In 2012 the Kony 2012 video and hashtag, meant to pressure the United States to intervene in the search for war criminal Joseph Kony, went absolutely viral. Out of seemingly nowhere, everyone seemed to be buying souvenirs to stop a war criminal they had likely never heard of before the video emerged. But, while some patted themselves on the back for their newfound activist spirit, others criticized the movement and the creators of the viral moment in history. Soon, concepts like aid to Africa, the white savior complex, and more were under fire. Were these types of campaigns helping, or just doing more harm?
