Unless I'm expecting you, there's no point. You don't need to know my schedule or what the inside of my house looks like.

It's easy to avoid buying things from Amazon. It's hard to avoid AWS. It would be insane to try to suss out what provider everyone that I buy stuff from uses, and their third party relationships. Regulation is better.

They also tend to make them stand at the beginning of their lane when they don't have customers. Apparently a light signaling that they are available just isn't enough.

Edit: My bad. I've never seen this at Aldi or Lidl. Just other US chains like Food Lion.

The antibiotics are used so that the chickens don't contract infections and die from living in inhumane conditions.

This change allows them to increase their profit margin at the cost of animal welfare.

Meanwhile, the masses are still using all the 'services' because they all have momentum. I'm not confident any of them can do anything bad enough to chase off their users.

Insulting a key demographic of your constituency in a ranked choice system is an interesting strategy.

COVID is still a big deal. People are still getting sick and dying. In the US, it's still claiming about 1,500 lives weekly.

Long COVID significantly affects the quality of life for many.

The best doctor can only advocate for the best treatment. Your continued good health is dependent on your vigilance.

We desperately need the national popular vote. 80% of the votes in the upcoming election may as well be ignored.

As a consumer, I will now forever remember that WebMD's C Suite is most interested in "crushing their competition" and being heavy handed with their employees. I once thought that they were concerned about the betterment of societal health. This is how you lose your most performant employees.

I can't believe they published this to a publically available platform like Vimeo. Did they already lose their Marketing executive?

It amazes me that we've gotten to the point where our elected representatives act like petulant children. Was this a misstep, yes. That is all it was though. A mistake was made, a process was reviewed, changes were made. This is how adults handle mistakes.
