Lots of naysayers trying to convince everyone not to participate, or to fragment efforts with competing ideas.

So much of our consumer culture is buying shit we don't need like impulse buys and stupid movies and fast food. That's profitable stuff, and skipping that for one day doesn't mean you'll just buy it the next day.

It's a response to the active class warfare happening, including the anti-DEI efforts.

The moratorium is actually since 2000, but only since 2006 in its current form. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_use_restriction_technology

Thankfully, no country, much less any multinational corporation, would ever dare cross the UN's nonbinding, unenforceable moratorium. Can you imagine how stern the tone of the statement of condemnation would be, once it was worded such that a reasonable plurality of countries would agree to back it?

I was mostly being facetious. I haven't tried it in decades, but I'm pretty happy with Cosmos.

🎤 Tap, tap, is this thing on? Posting again, even though this joke is probably only for me.

Presumably, this is F W DeMorgan's Law.
