The base flex pack is a Faux Newsless package.

My boycott is simply not paying for it.

boycotting their advertisers isn't going to cause those companies to drop their adds but I guess if it makes anyone feel better to boycott ... go for it!

Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations -- the all-knowing consumer will right all wrongs, assuming they actually possess a moral compass of some form.

Banking should be boring. Hoarding should be socially abhorred. Elections should all be ultra-fair, publicly-financed and with outside money and power strictly forbidden. This is clearly the future. Very simple solution to our most challenging problems. Inarguable bedrock wisdom.

A great NYC history titled 'Gotham' talks about the original corporate form, which was invented by the Dutch, adopted by the English, and then allowed to continue but eventually horribly distorted by Americans. The original concept was that the corporation was required to serve the social fabric first, then the shareholders. The Dutch would only agree to permit the form with this limitation enshrined.

The language was removed by a robber-baron-supportive Supreme Court sometime in the early nineteen-hundreds, and the form has proven a growing danger to human survival ever since.

Great post. I still have my BuyBlue.org book. Loved those people.

They’re still showing the toxic swamp murderer daily. We’re actually trying to figure out how we’re going to cute the cord.
I have limited funds and need to be far more intentional who/what those funds support.
