Of course American companies, and British companies with US bases, can
sell highly hazardous drugs whose research results they've concealed.
But that's different...
A.A. American companies indulge in nefarious practices regarding selling their
consumer products overseas. For example, a major baby formula manufacturer
(name escapes me) was encouraging third world women to use their baby formula
over breast milk. Not only is baby formula far inferior to mother's milk, it
is expensive for people already often near starvation. It also has to be
diluted with water, in third world countries no small thing. Likewise,
American cigarette companies have lost major market share in the U.S., so they
use countries like China and Russia and others as their growing markets.
I'm listing here American companies, but certainly not only Americans indulge
in these practices. All countries at all times exploit or exploited in some
form or fashion. It's just human nature.
