…the simpler explanation is that he’s just unironically stupid and a bad businessman.

Occam’s Razor.

The problem is, all companies are this evil.

False equivalency fallacy on display. Not “all” are, unless you’re trying to cut TJs some slack. Just shop at a local grocery.

Also - “evil”? Poorly run, dishonest perhaps, greedy almost certainly. You want “evil”? Invade another country and kill people. Tell a teenage rape victim they can’t abort it and must carry to term. Make sure women can’t divorce an abusive husband if they’re pregnant. Real Evil is all over.

There’s plenty of real evil out there that needs shame - don’t use that word lightly.

Stalinist. Makes sense - twist away. Blocked.

It was a cease fire proposal - you have to start somewhere. But Russia and China think it’s better to use Gazans a political pawns in the upcoming US elections, so surprise, surprise - some would disagree.

China and Russia just blocked a truce in Gaza. Makes sense.

Video games involved putting a sheet of acetate over the b&w tv screen and then drawing with a wax pencil where the dashed line appears (Winky Dink ruled - and don’t forget to put the acetate on the screen or Dad will get mad).

No. Don’t be stupid because doing the opposite seems cool. Every generation keep doing this and they blow a decade learning it.

Within the US government it’s still all metric measures, has been since Carter, but Reagan made a social cause and used it against the Dems (along with a secret “guns for hostages” negotiation) to win the presidency. And it’s been downhill ever since.

And this is an actual thing - spokespeople are generally female now as we as humans have a greater capacity for empathy and more inherent respect for women. At one point spokes people were all men… And nowadays, even the most evil companies push the women out front so that they can be a bit more evil for a just a little bit longer before the shit hits the fan.

Basically evil people, male and female, will still do the same shit, lying dishonest job, so long as they are paid for it. We just cut the women a lot more slack.
