Don’t underestimate the number of idiots that will vote to inflict pain on everyone. Fight it, if you can. Signed, a population learning the hard way.

It really was not much effort. And since we’re all sharing anecdotal perspectives, I saw news about this weeks ago on here on lemmy, heard other people participating irl and find encouragement in tangible activities that could make a real impact over time. There are so few (by design) to begin with. Enough hate, if you have another idea consider yourself encouraged to go out and do a thing you find more meaningful. Otherwise, you’re just contributing to the problem at hand.

That misses the point. Directional support is all that’s needed here as a start.

As someone said in a different thread, it’s a first step in gauging support for a broader effort. It gives a sense of how effective getting the message out is, and how many people join on.

Or another way, the process is the point

It’s for control. Same reason companies support administrating health insurance. It’s massively complicated and expensive but it enables control over the workforce.

And… it’s the physical manifestation of the hierarchy supporting exec and investor ‘king’ egos over their proverbial kingdom.

Most execs are also extroverts and run their businesses through personal relationships and experiences. And of course, the company pays for their commutes, housing, meals, and all the other reasons you and others have posted about. It’s advantageous, for them.

Crypto and AI focus was a weird step before all this came out. But now we know Andy is pro republican… completes a very unappealing picture. We should have a database tho, plenty of c level execs and investor groups do far worse and get no scrutiny simply because they don’t post about it on the internet.
