    Despite numerous announced initiatives by companies profiting from child and slave labor, none have produced meaningful results. The underlying issue is the inability to ensure a true living wage for farmers, leading them to resort to unpaid child labor, while the industry strives to keep cacao prices at rock bottom.

    The conclusion is clear: consumer-facing marketing claims unravel to reveal no substantial impact, leaving consumers susceptible to being “brandwashed.” Until significant tangible changes are witnessed or an assurance of ethical practices throughout their operations is evident, Tony’s Chocolonely remains excluded from the list.

    They at least give a reason for Tony’s to be on the boycott list. But then again, this is the last “news” article they published and it’s now over two years old, so who can really say.




  • Presumably members of congress don’t usually get a say in the disciplinary actions of any federal agency.

    ICE sent a letter to Veasey stating it would address the matter and that such internal investigations can take up to 120 days, but it has otherwise not provided any information.

    Veasey’s amendment came a week after the Observer reported that Rodden, who was apparently pulled from federal immigration court schedules following the Observer’s reporting last February, had returned to immigration court in Dallas.

    Since ICE doesn’t want to fire the guy, this is one of the few official acts thay can be taken to “encourage” him to leave on his own.











  • The remorhaz page gives you the relationship to frost worms as part of a “Related Creatures” sidebar, while the frost worm only has “Additional Lore”. I assume this means that the two are related, but no one in universe actually knows for sure, since the remorhaz takes centuries to metamorph into the frost worm. Looking at the Pathfinder Wiki, I can’t find much more that goes into the details of either creature.
