(yes, it is super fn sad that the private sector has to carry the load here, but that´s where we are at with our society)
like no other event in recent human history, the coronavirus pandemic is exposing some of capitalism´s most fatal structural weaknesses.
some companies are rising to the occasion by filling in some of the gaps left in our world by the ongoing crisis.
...and some are just making sure the stockholders are still smiling at the end of the quarter.
THIS IS A MOMENT IN HISTORY, and I feel it is important to record which companies are worth our support once the fire is out.
I shall lead off with a few examples, using traditonal NT classification categories:
Wildin´
-Whole Foods (asked employees to trade off days like prison cigarettes during a pandemic)
www.eater.com
-Norwegian Cruise Lines (lied to public insisting their cruises were safe because tropical beach)
www.motherjones.com
-the current US Federal Government (attempted to monopolize a German vaccine company for profit)
www.theguardian.com
Doin´ It
-Scholastic (free online courses for quarantined students)
www.prnewswire.com
-Comcast (60 days free basic Internet access)
www.mlive.com
-HornPub (free premium access coming soon to a country near you)
let´s encourage the world we want one dollar at time.
