Summary

Go to http://mintmobile.com/casper to cut your wireless bill to $15 a month! Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide. Shein took the world by storm starting in 2012. As the newest hit in fast fashion, the company appealed to every demographic, offering trendy styles at incredibly affordable prices. Every day, someone posts a tiktok or youtube video, showing off treasure chests full of clothes. But the bright colors that represent the company hide a dark corporate empire that exploits everyone from the creators to the consumers.
