If the goalpost is at “don’t buy stuff if the CEO is an asshole”, we’re all in trouble.

Yeah; it’s very strange. The new online norm seems to be “don’t buy anything from a company if the primary person is a jerk.”

Meanwhile everyone online is buying stuff from jerks. They are just less vocal about it.

I REALLY don’t care to research every company I buy something from. Even if I know the primary person is a jerk, I still don’t care unless there is a near equal alternative.

I don’t know what’s going on, but pass me whatever you guys are consuming.

I’ve worked on payment systems. It is very hard to federate unless something like Stripe is used for actual payment.

Credit card companies simply won’t interface with you unless you prove their data is safe. It isn’t a process that scales well.

Brick and mortar companies get around this by having payment terminals which are insanely locked down. (Which is also why those terminals mostly suck)

I mean, it is better news then “kills healthy young people”.

Obviously better nobody die, but better if someone dies a few months early than a few decades early.

Agree, but I’d be saying the same thing about Japan.
