No, you can’t blame consumers for corporations bad behavior, consumers act in their own self interest, not a collective self interest. This is precisely why we have regulations.

Corruption light and Corruption heavy. I have clear preferences if given the choice.

This is interesting. I’ve been setting up our non-profit’s new grant-funded Azure VM, then Wordpress site, then CiviCRM, then hardening it all, and I’m hoping to offer this as a (volunteer) turnkey service to a few other nonprofits in town. And it’s amazing to me how many hours this still takes, and how out of reach it is for the average nonprofit.

What do you think Trump will do to poor people?

This is every bit the Dems who refused to vote Kamala because of her Palestinian stance - a purity test that helped ensure Trump won, and we’d sit and do nothing as a genocide occurred. But we sure showed Kamala, huh

He’s redistricting California which, now TWO red states are doing, but only one blue state has accomplished. Will any others?

Shh we’ll get to that in due time, we’re still doing “This 4th quarter may not be the BEST ever but it’s an investment” which has a certain nonsensical peacefulness about it, like the feeling of weightlessness before you impact the ground.

Oh my God trump thinks he’s trading Alaska for Greenland. It just clicked.

OK over this way, sir, you are being detained

Me on drugs washing the dishes

Sadly the health gains from doing this now, instead of at a time in the near future, will be offset by the public health gains erased by the conservatives who DO win off this issue with their bases. But we haven’t been playing politics with public health and now we’re losing it. Funny.

Lots of MBAs will carefully* study the ways businesses can learn from Target’s mistake, and have easier ties to cut with window-dressing PR initiatives like diversity.
