Absolutely disgusting promotion of a genuinely evil company (:twitter: InsidePMI) responsible for more than 100M deaths (so far). Kaleen (Head of HR) should be ashamed of herself. Her children will spurn her once they realise what a monstrous industry she’s working in & propping up. 🤢🤮

And as a member of the #LGBTIQ+ community, I am ashamed that we have people in our community like her who are so lacking in ethics & morality that they would work for such an evil company. This is not what “bringing your whole self to work” means. 🤢🤮

My wife took this picture in Ethiopia. "Pretty great public health messaging."
Every car should come with a "Cars kill" sticker, or similar messaging. "Your local bike shop or transit card vendor can help you stop driving."

So important in itself, but also a fascinating parallel; legislation to tame the promotion of deadly behaviour facing pushback from vested interests #ClimateLiteracy #SmokingKills #FossilCapital https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2023/6/2/netflix-disney-amazon-to-challenge-india-tobacco-rules-report
