You should be boycotting these companies already because they support extreme right politics by their ALEC membership:
- FedEx
- UPS
- Motorola
- Anheuser Busch
- American Express
- Bose
- Chevron
- Marlboro
- Sony
- Texaco
- Boeing (fly on Airbus instead, see how to boycott Boeing)
You should be boycotting Amazon for many reasons.
If you oppose private prisons, then you already boycott these banks:
- #BankOfAmerica (#BofA)
- #FifthThird
- #JPMorgan #Chase
- #PNC Bank
- #Suntrust
- #USBank (#USBancorp)
- #WellsFargo
Don’t think they are out of reach to Europe – many European small banks that you assume are ethical actually outsource their investments to JP Morgan. Also, BofA uses different branding outside the US.
If you like transparency with food labeling, then you endorse labeling of #GMO food, in which case you boycott companies that lobbied against GMO labeling. There are hundreds of companies that fucked us over, but these are the top ten financers of anti-labeling lobby:
- PepsiCo
- Nestlé
- General Mills
- Coca-Cola
- ConAgra
- Campbell Soup
- The Hershey Company
- J.M. Smucker
- Kellogg
- Mondelez
Some of those mushroom into many brands. See the attached infographic.
It’s not arbitary. It’s the line between reasonable and obsessive/wasteful
^ fixed it for you. Everyone has a level of tolerance for inconvenience which can fall anywhere between 0% and 100%, to use your bizarre scale of percentages where a migration from whatsapp to signal is “90%” progress in solving the world’s problems. I cannot imagine how uninformed someone must be about all the surveillance advertising to think that 90% can be attributed to whatsapp, which uses the same tech that Signal uses. Yes, FB hired Open Whisper Systems to implement their tech in whatsapp. You’re talking about a change that is symbolic at best. It’s not even a fart in an ocean of significance.
.It takes 90% of the effort to get from 90% to 91%. You make a whole lot bigger impact spending that energy getting someone else to 90% too.
Stop pretending the world is black and white.
Learn how to save text files, convert HTML to plain text, and use grep; maybe some emacs org mode. It’s not that hard if you have some tech competence. The figures you give are for tech illiterates.
ctrl+F?
It’s becoming clear why the effort is so high for you. Loading every document into buffers where you can use control-f in each buffer to inspect each hit one at a time is of course labor intensive. Study grep and filesystems. You can get more info with less time and effort that way.
Ahh, that’s the confusion. You think I bothered looking through this mess you made at all
You’re still confused. My post is not what you would search.
Do your own research. Make your own records. Search your own records based on your own criteria. Doing your own thinking is your job. Being at the extreme end of lazy has warped your perception of effort which leaves you w/absurd ideas around this bizarre 90% figure. Get off your ass and learn to use grep on filesystems. If you get that far then your bitching won’t kick in until 99%.
You took what I said too literal I think. This problem is the same as navigstion.
Then compare the amount of work and results. Sometimes, good enough is good enough. And more would not be worth the insane amount of effort
