I enjoyed LulaRich but I wish it contextualized the company within the MLM system. LulaRoe's exploitative practices and misleading marketing aren't unique to them or attributable to the culture created by Deanne and Mark.
The problems are systemic, and there's a larger story to be told about how AmWay & the DeVos family paved the way to legalize pyramid schemes (listen to The Dream!).
And yes, Deanne & Mark's family is pretty juicy. But the documentary spends a disproportionate amount of time platforming the people who got rich off LulaRoe. I couldn't help but feel like someone could watch the first three episodes and still think joining was a good idea.
I spent some time reading a MAGA message board to try and gauge their reaction to Trump's video yesterday. I am here to report the infighting is DIZZYING, even for me, someone extremely online for two Dem primaries, Louis CK, the dress, the Ghostbusters reboot, and HBO's Girls
At the risk of wading in, which I don't really want to: some people think he's betraying them and giving up on the cause; some people are assuming that when he references the "new administration" coming in, he's merely implying he's gonna ditch Pence and get a new VP
Some think he has a plan; some bemoan he's had no plan all year (but is still the best Prez of their lifetime); some claim the Capitol rioters were Antifa; others admit "this was us," (some with pride, some with revulsion); Ashli Babbitt is either a "martyr" or a "crisis actor"
Obviously this isn't the most pressing issue right now, but I've seen a lot of one-size-fits-all advice about working from home, and if you have ADHD, please don't beat yourself up if this advice isn't working for you
Here's some take-it-or-leave-it advice. If this doesn't apply to your situation, that's fine!
First of all: know yourself and what works for you. If you haven’t experimented extensively with this, think about your successes with regards to getting things done. How’d you do it? Can you replicate any of those conditions? I’ll give you a few examples from my own processes.
is it just me or should cashless restaurants be SUPER illegal?
Poverty, immigration status, domestic abuse, mental illness: there are so many reasons i can think of why people can't or won't use banks / digitally tracked currency and the unifying theme is that these people are very vulnerable
It’s more of a civil rights problem for things like public transit etc to be switching to cashless, and I see there is some benefit to going cashless. Money is unsanitary as hell. But I can’t help but feel like accessibility questions aren’t being asked about this kind of tech
