Well see, if we agree that we should punish the kids for the sins of the fathers, then the case for reparations is so much stronger.
Dunkin Donuts is French owned.
This as a funny history of the Founder who was born in KY. It reads like a country bumpkin wrote it. https://researchpedia.info/vernon-rudolph-founder-of-krispy-kreme-doughnuts/
I bought a German watch produced by the Junkers family carrying the name and logo of the aircraft manufacturer at Frankfurt’s duty free shop. I was thinking to myself how is this possible when I associate Junkers with the JU-87 dive bomber. The Junkers family has zero association with the Nazis. The founder of the Junkers aircraft company had his creation expropriated with zero compensation by the Nazis.
Dr Pepper is a separate company from coke or pepsi. It is distributed by both coke and pepsi (varies from market to market) so it usually shows up in grocery stores as one or the other, but is a separate company.
They started selling their donuts out of the back of a Pontiac.
Krispy Krauts?
What about Baer and Volkswagen - two companies that managed to move on from their NAZI past? Even many in the America First movement were motivated by contracts they had with German chemical and industrial companies.
And the Bayer (aspirin) company made Zyklon B...
I would venture to guess most of the German Nazis corporate and family legacy stayed intact with few exceptions and benefited greatly through the Marshal Plan.
Well I had one grandfather kill a bunch of Nazis and another in the Pacific theater killing a bunch of Japanese. Does that give me the pass to buy Krispy Kreme and Sony? :)
Many people like to wallow in the past and claim they are victims rather than deal with current cultural issues.
Some of these journalists are stupid beyond belief and are just stirring crap to do so. Ever ride in an elevator? Dover elevators are owned by Thyssen-Krupp and those two companies’ owners financed the Nazis from the start in 1934 and profited during WWII and didn’t miss a beat when Germany was defeated. The Thyssens were tight with ole’ Goebbels, Goring, and Adolph.
Big hairy deal. The Bayer aspirin company (Bayer AG) is the only surviving element of the IG Farben company, which made Zyklon B cyanide gas the Nazis used in the extermination centers.
Oops! Bayer was part of IG Farben, who had a hand in producing Zyklon.
The occupying powers...
And the Federal Republic...
Have had decades.
If any of the present owners were over 18 in 1945, maybe there's still time to take a crack at 'em. No one younger and certainly no one born after that year.
I remember driving a country road in my Opel and coming up behind a farm trailer with MENGELE across the back. "How interesting," I thought.
A bit like finding the name "Hitler" in Ohio: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/45190
I don’t believe in the Sins of the Fathers. I don’t believe in punishing the children for the crimes predecessors committed.
If JAB just bought Krispy Kreme in 2016 and the last Nazi died in 1978, that is 38 years later. That is like blaming a white guy because his grandfather owned slaves.
