This will make more sense if you read this first.
… in a situation like that there’s only one thing you can do and that’s walk into The shrink [BAD Business] wherever you are, just walk in say “[BAD business], You can get anything you want, at Alice’s restaurant. You “support election deniers, I’m out”.
And walk out. You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he’s really sick and They won’t take him pay attention.
And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, They may think they’re both ???? nuts and they won’t take pay attention to either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in Singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant sayin’ “BAD Business you support election deniers, I’m out” and walking out. They may think it’s an Organization.
And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said Fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant sayin’ “BAD Business - you support election deniers, I’m out” and Walking out.
And friends they may thinks it’s a movement.
🔗 These 50 companies have donated over $23 million to election deniers since January 6, 2021 (In case you were wondering.)
I was - which is why I will be back later with some more thoughts.

The Information Reporting …
Reddit’s Tumble Uh-oh. Reddit’s dream ride on Wall Street has come to an abrupt halt. The stock tumbled 11% on Wednesday after a research firm published a report saying the stock should trade at about half its current levels, Bloomberg reported.
Me : Really? Stunned I tells ya. Stunned.

📸 I walk by this sign a lot. So finally popped into the store to enquire about renting an electric bike for a week - $99 seemed bargain.
Nah - we don’t do them that cheap.
But your sign says … showing him
Oh yeah - old sign - been meaning to update it - we can do one for you for $300.
(Which is still not a bad price in all honesty ($200 US) - good way to try the idea out.)
I walked off.
I was walking by again a yesterday - the sign is still there.

It’s rhetorical folk.
Just tickled my funny bone - because of course it is TRUE.
Customer Loyalty Means NOTHING To Nord.
I used NordVPN for around 5 years. My subscription was up for renewal. Their charges seemed to be on the high side, so I had a look around and landed at Proton at the recommendation of a microblogger (sorry - can’t recall who) - signed up and very happy.
Since Nord lost my business, they keep sending me emails and almost every time the price goes down again.
This price is less than I was paying before and definitely less than I am paying Proton - BUT - had they given me a loyal customer - this price from the beginning I would never have looked around.
Instead it seems loyalty is worth nothing - only ‘new’ customers deserve a ‘good’ price.
Sticking with Proton.

This very much resonates with my My People First thinking. 🔗 via Stowe Boyd - essentially - when you hear ‘the powers’ talking about how people are their most important assets and blah blah blah - would be interesting to learn how they really sit against this list/
Bowie - It wasn’t just his music that was ahead of its time.
Started watching a new series on Netflix. First episode definitely has me hooked ,,, though it seemed that I knew the plot. So, looked it up. Of course I knew the plot. It was a movie from a 5(?) years ago. A very good movie actually. But different as it was, the connections were tight - even down to the directorial style. It was if the TV dude was emulating the Film dude … 🤦♂️ similar! Identical. It was the same director - Guy Ritchie - I do love me some ‘Guy’.
Turns out that he made the movie and then turned around and said - right them let’s do a TV show. It’s going to be good.

And of course fussing with only 🖇️ one change is never enough - now I am onto blogrolls - very much like the OPML import. Thankyou @manton
It seems that ‘microhooks’ are the key - every journey starts with a single step … etc
