  • Another issue is that publically traded companies have a legal fiduciary responsibility to shareholders, but there is no legal responsibility to society or ethics. In fact, even laws supposedly designed to constrain businesses only carry fines for the business (and rarelyany responsibilityfor the individuals making the decisions), so it’s more of an ante to sit at the big boy’s table.




  • Hell yeah, Ms. Showalter was the shit. It didn’t matter that you were 9, there were fitness standards to meet, and she’d be damned if any of us bastards were going to bring her numbers down. That was my first experience with an educator who pushed you when you didn’t believe you could do it and hyped you up when you finally did. She was so gruff, but we all loved her and swarm her at school events, even when she’d pretend she didn’t like all the love 😂.











  • I see many folks here mentioning Dave Chapelle as a right-wing comedian, which is a joke in itself. Dave Chapelles’ personal politics and much of the politics mentioned in his stand-up are not right-wing. He has a blend of center right/center left beliefs and supports progressive candidates. I understand there is controversy with his LGBTQ+ material and commentary, but that does not make all of his politics right-wing. This strikes me as coming from people who have little exposure to the black American community, where these attitudes are prevalent regardless of the individuals’ other politics. It is slowly improving, but it isn’t great. Frankly, I don’t know why it is he continues to antagonize and harp on this for hours at a time. It is very strange and I know he’s capable of much funnier material.
