"Experts say." Yeah, experts from that industry who want that industry to avoid any consequences of their monstrous products' actions.
Who fucking cares what their "Experts" say? We'll decide who is responsible, not them. They'll just suffer the consequences.
The Peter Principle states that a manager will get promoted to his level of incompetency, then get stuck there. As time goes on, more and more managers reach their level of incompetency, until the entire management level is populated by people who are bad at their jobs.
Say a guy is a great salesman, the best in the company, beats all his targets. He's just great at it, and all his customers love him. So he gets promoted to sales manager, with a nice office, and a big raise.
But just because he's a talented salesman, doesn't mean he knows how to manage sales people. Also, the guy who replaced him isn't pulling in near the revenue, so the department he's managing is now WORSE than before he took over. He becomes just another mediocre manager, in over his head, and he never gets another promotion again.
Or maybe he moves up a few more levels, but eventually he hits the point that he can't do well, and that's where he remains, being mediocre. After a while, ALL the managers are people who were good at their old jobs, but mediocre at this one, and here they stay, until they are swept out in their 50s.
The first time I heard about cloud storage, I wondered why anyone would store their stuff with a third party, for reasons EXACTLY like this. This is the exact scenario I thought of.
And while we're talking about this specific case, presumably all the other customers of that cloud storage company list all their stuff, too.
Give the nerds a break, perv glasses is all they've got.
Tell it to the Ukrainian citizens whose homes are being blown up. Are the Russians blowing up buildings with mind control now?
When Mamdani sat down at his desk, and moved the giant pile of paperwork that every other mayor ignored, he found a button that said "Something Good." He pushed it, and something good happened. So he pushed it again. And again. And he kept pushing it.
That button was always there, and any mayor before him could have pushed it, but they didn't. That's all they had to do, and they just didn't do it.
Furthermore, that button is on the desk of every politician, and most of them never push it either.
We need to make them ALL start pushing that button.
In Japan, you can't disable the shutter sound on phone cameras, because weirdos were sticking them up women's skirts and silently taking pictures.
We didn't do that here in America, because perversity is a human right in MAGA America.
Yeah, Target showed their true colors. I supported them because they were supportive of LGBTQ+ community, but they abandoned it in the blink of an eye, when MAGA looked at them, proving it was never core company philosophy, just convenient cynical marketing.
I expected companies to resist MAGA, and I still do. We will remember the corporations that collaborated with the MAGA Traitor Pedophiles.
Costco is considered one of the best places to work in America. Literally one of the highest job satisfaction rates in business.
They pay decently, offer good benefits, and treat their employees decently, and respectfully. So people stick around, that's why they put their length of service on their name tags. It's smart brand marketing, and it worked on you exactly like it's supposed to.
Imagine a company recognizing that treating your employees well, might actually be good for business?
More like: You came for toothpaste, but you want a kayak, too?
I can never decide between a hot dog or a slice of pizza, so I get one of each.
More of a "broken clock is correct twice a day" kind of thing.
