Neat to see that the bigCorps finally figured this one out. It's not like activism ever actually changed any concrete policy; it just plants seeds in minds.
Always has been, always will be. Their problem is the same as the media's "access journalism" problem. They get their data from .gov, so they are blind trying to make policy conclusions from the outside. And as such they can't tell when they're being deliberately misled.
As usual, this political ideology requires polylogism, like race science and many other bunk theories over the years. The author correctly realizes the only consistent position is to quit collectivizing people -- no need to be in any box. Be an individual dammit, it's good enough.
“It’s much better now,” said Alexandre Esteves, a 17-year company veteran who leads a team at the factory. “There’s less maintenance needed, people don’t have to carry heavy things around as much. We produce more.”
You are what you eat, I suppose. I had an interesting thought about caloric restriction the other day -- it seems more likely that the activity reduction brought on by caloric reduction is the real cause of it's life extension. No wear and tear to repair = longer life. I can understand why many would prefer simply to burn brighter.
About the real difference between effective workers and those just going through the motions. It's not enough to ape your betters, you have to become better. Individual virtue matters.
So much for being 'against the terrorists'. Personally I don't care who firms sell weapons to, .gov shouldn't be involved at all -- profits for defense firms would be higher as someone here would arm their enemies as well.
