It depends on how you look at it. Most business thinking nowadays, at least at the scholarly level, involves some extent of stakeholder theory. Part of that means acknowledging the community’s wellbeing. Similarly, you can look at the rise of Enterprise Risk Management, which forces businesses to think about risks like climate change or en the risk of ignoring vs embracing the LGBTQ+ community

Got a link?

We’ve now had four decades of the neoliberal “experiment,” beginning with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. The results are clear. Neoliberalism expanded the freedom of corporations and billionaires to do as they will and amass huge fortunes, but it also exacted a steep price: the well-being and freedom of the rest of society.

Friedman and his acolytes failed to understand an essential feature of freedom: that there are two kinds, positive and negative; freedom to do and freedom from harm. “Free markets” alone fail to provide economic stability or security against the economic vagaries they create, let alone allow large fractions of the population to live up to their potential.

The road to authoritarianism is not paved by government doing too much but too little.

We care about freedom from hunger, unemployment and poverty — and, as FDR emphasized, freedom from fear. People with just enough to get by don’t have freedom

A lot of good criticisms in here but not a lot in terms of proposals. The proposals are a little vague.

All it takes is one Supreme Court nomination during Trump’s term and we’re fucked for that much longer. There’s a good chance Thomas dies in the next 4 years, do we really want 40 more years of some young right wing radical in that seat?

I think that’s what young people really don’t get. It’s not just 4 bad years (although even that argument is a pretty privileged thing to say).

Didn’t you get those powers at your bar mitzvah? It’s supposed to be right after we get the codes for the space lasers.

I didn’t get a bar mitzvah, personally, so I’m a shitty Jew who doesn’t have those powers.

But Light has stood for gay rights for decades, something many in the LGBTQ+ community had acknowledged and appreciated.

Just to take that logic a little farther… should they take a stance on climate change? Like, should they bother to aim for net zero emissions or is that too political?

How about civil rights? If a city bans trans people from using a bathroom that matches their gender identity, is the business obligated to enforce that law? Or any other morally reprehensible law?

I’m just not sure where the line is

Back in HS, I think I was told that it was a regrettable ending and we probably went a bit overboard.

The dog part is like the only thing that seems to be fact checked so far lol

Idk about that. Google leadership supports whoever gives them a contract, which just so happens to be Israel in one high-profile case

Read the question. It’s asking Americans for their information at a time when half of Americans were asleep.

To be fair, it’s a French organization I believe. So we are an international area they could send aide to

Thanks for the heads up. The initial comment seemed innocent enough but I’ll avoid engaging.

That’s Amore

Done by many artists, maybe Dean Martin is most famous?

Edit: apparently it was written for Dean Martin originally. Didn’t know that he was the first

Google, and its parent company Alphabet, have long come in criticism for developing products pushing social justice absolutism. In February, their AI platform Gemini was mocked for generating comically woke creations including a woman as pope, black Vikings, female NHL players and “diverse” versions of America’s Founding Fathers — not to mention black and Asian Nazi soldiers.

Why do I click on NYPost links? Smh

On a serious note, this is a bad look. Google claims it wasn’t a universal issue and that it’s been fixed, so we’ll probably never know the scope or why it only happened with the word “Jew”. Maybe it didn’t recognize religions and only demonyms.

I’m certainly not denying Dems have pushed MAGA candidates (although for slightly different reasons, typically they are easier to beat in a general, not because Dems want them in office). However, the magnitude of the cross-party spending for a house primary here is significant.

We already have a dire shortage of medical practitioners, especially in rural areas. And some of the states with these bans have a lot of rural areas.

And this happened during industrialization too. The world keeps evolving and politicians will always use it to fear monger.

If you told someone in 1850 how many people we’d have employed today as automobile mechanics, airplane techs, computer engineers, etc., they would be so lost. Just like we would be if someone from 2150 tried to tell us about their economy.

Funny that Microsoft seems to be shutting down studies left and right and then this happens

It’s actually a brick of drugs, not a brick for building. You just get them to blow a line
