Oh, dear, we live in a "polarized society," do we? Well, heaven forfend!Could that be because we have "news sources" set up specifically to appeal to tribalism for the sake of profit?
I'll chip in $20 to have someone else take the plunge and move to WY but that person will not be me. I lived in MT for 9 months 30 years ago and barely made it out ahead of the lynch mob. I doubt anything has improved in the meanwhile.
They take a look at the increase in women's life span from 500 years ago and decide - Yeah, No. Let's back this bus up to the time when women routinely died in their childbearing years. Obviously, that's just common sense and pro-life ideology
All big companies evaluate the value of any given problem being addressed or not. They quantify it. What is harder for them to quantify is bad publicity and boycotting backlash. Once they start to see the boycotting making a dent, they will evaluate the number and nature of the complaints lodged, if for no other reason than to see if it’s something they can hide from shareholders. But those complaints are formal data, not just shouts into the void. They don’t care about individual complaints. They care about the resulting consequences. Written complaints are legal records that have real weight in court.
If we are thinking of moving to France to take advantage of their "cushy" worker benefits, keep this in mind - French workers work.Measured by output per hour, French workers were more productive than their German counterparts — who are often perceived to be obsessed with efficiency — and only slightly less productive than Americans in 2019, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.France also has some of the highest levels of burnout and on-the-job accidents among European workers, which researchers have attributed to a sometimes toxic and hierarchical work culture that limits employees’ growth and engagement. After accounting for differences in purchasing power, Americans earn about 17 percent more than French workers, OECD data shows.Other evidence suggests that companies tend to push out employees in their late 50s, years before they reach retirement age.https://www.washingtonpost....
If Hollywood re-made Gilligan's Island, they'd have the castaways break off into warring gangs, terrorizing each other "Lord of the Flies" style.
They’re an overall shitty company.

How does that relate to what decent people should do in response to this rule of theirs? I don't see that it does.
Much like coppers aren't obligated to protect us (thx Supremes) Fox is not obligated to be a news channel.
Fuck Ken Paxton. And fuck Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick, too.Fuck Ted Cruz.
https://twitter.com/madiald...Yea..fuck that.They want to turn the clock back 150 years and think they should be shielded from consequences for that?

My RWNJ Uncle Dave just (proudly) sent me a photo of Mel Gibson sitting with Kari Lake. Wtf?
Write him back and ask if he has any pictures of Mel Gibson drowning in Kari Lake.
