"We” as in consumers don’t use enough to hurt companies by divesting.

I think you're confused by what divesting is. That's us as business owners, not as customers (obviously we as customers can hit them simultaneously from the other side too).

Yes, individually it doesn't hurt them much, but it becomes the death of a thousand cuts.

If you can put pressure on your pension provider, local government, church, favourite charity or any other organisation you care about to drop funds with them in entirely then all the better.

By all means do anything you can to reduce your individual carbon footprint

Divesting is not to do with that, it's about hitting these companies right in the share price.

Which, as I said, is exactly why we should stop giving them our money. Divestment is a key thing people can will hurt these companies massively.

The most significant difference individuals can make is to create political and legal pressure by voting and protesting.

Well can also stop giving them our money. Reduce consumption of their products through alternatives and overall reduction. We can also divest our investments away from funds that include their shares.

I think in vivo technologies (like CRISPR) will be the biggest game changer in medicine since antibiotics. The danger is that without robust socialised medical institutions these become cures that only the rich can afford.

It brings new functionality and customization options for a Samsung phone. It's a really cool app.

Also, I'm pretty sure Germany has pretty strong unions. Hell, even the UK unions are probably 10x better than American ones.

Have you got a minute to talk about our lord and saviour Air Fryer?

Well that makes me wonder how many others are wrong on this map.

He says his son was eventually issued the passport and the family’s vacation is still on.

Sounds to me like someone so the passport office was just being an idiot and when their supervisor looked into it it was resolved.

Why is it Data saying it rather than Riker?
