      Curios take: it’s not the companies doing bad stuff, but the investigations that hurt the reputation…

    I know the article is mostly about workers rights, but it also mentions tax avoidance and I, as a Italian, I’m perpetually mad at my fellow countrymen attitude towards taxes.

    Many people here find it very easy to justify avoiding paying taxes whenever they can because they’re so high. And they are, no question about it, but maybe it’s because of all the evasion too?
