A federal jury in Florida has found that Banana giant Chiquita Brands must pay $38.3 million to 16 family members of people killed during Colombia’s long civil war by a violent right-wing paramilitary group funded by the company.
The Chiquita thing must be one of the wildest displays of capitalist greed ever. Like, they literally killed thousands of people to remain at the top of what is essentially a banana selling company. You can’t even enjoy a fucking fruit under capitalism without having to worry if whole families have been wiped out for it.

It would be comical if it wasn’t so evil.
