So all they can do is try to shrink the market & sideline *potential* consumers of the competition
It doesn’t matter if these biz folks are sincere or not; ultimately sidelining voters OR consumers is not just immoral it’s counter-adaptive
It doesn’t matter if these particular CEOs are sincere.
Markets have their own logic.
The 57% (!) who approve of Biden must appreciate that we chose him, & didn’t just certify him under orders fr/the Kremlin, the Q Shaman, or the armed thugs who threatened to hang Pence
That’s FIFTY-NINE
“Democratically elected” is a nice feature in an American president.

The only fix for anything you’re stuck on in public life is to learn more languages
The #StopAsianHate curriculum could drop the unscientific sensitivity stuff and have native speakers teach a semester of conversational Korean and Chinese, including slang, and advance the cause exponentially.
It’s not punitive. It’s not politically torqued. It’s just education, deference to expertise. And no matter where you go, even if you speak one of these languages already, it’s useful & a workout for the brain.
I went to go hear Derrida speak once. The talk was about murmuring. He murmured the entire speech. You could hardly hear it. Everyone was craning to tell even what language he was speaking. We were bored by all the murmuring. It was also amazing. It was at NYU.
The French word for the murmur is le murmure, & I think he said, or maybe the program said, that the word is onomatopoetic in both languages. So it’s possible he just said the title of the lecture over and over for a full hour.
It’s tedious to keep posting these — I’m tweeting about 10% — but, more than a month after Tucker Carlson attacked me by name & photo, they keep coming. Many to my mailbox. All with threats.
Somewhat astoundingly there’s a Seattle return address on the envelope.
And there are email addresses, Twitter & Instagram handles, Facebook accts, & all kinds of digital signatures associated w this campaign. Should someone in law enforcement see this treasure trove of hate?
I appreciate the suggestion that I go to employers. A few weeks ago I sent some signed threats I received to the Manhattan Institute, where the harasser had once worked, and his name—Bill McGowan—was swiftly removed from their site.
