The fact that PVA is deliberately being put into food products, as stated in the article, is of particular concern to me, beside the fact that it is going into the environment in cleaning products. Where is the research that informs us it is safe to eat the stuff? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-08/new-york-city-considers-banning-laundry-dishwasher-pods?utm_source=website&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=copy

My wife just tested positive for COVID for the very first time. I’m still negative and have never had it as far as I know. The really odd thing is that our mini- dachshund Stella refused to sleep in the bed with my wife for the first time ever on Tuesday night. Weird!

So am I being extra sensitive about this spam complaint email? Well yeah probably. But see at the end of a long exhausting irritating school year. Also just completed my 20 th year of being an engineering professor so happy anniversary to me! My nerves are shot to singles and it feels like this came out of left field. I love and let live. I have had a woman who wanted to show her br&&@sta on the internet come for my neck about my Black STEM AI art and didn’t file a spam complaint but someone

@drcaberry
Unfortunately, you can be doing everything right and some folks will still complain because they’re projecting their own issues onto your work. They also have the option of not following you! But some people can’t seem to stop hitting themselves. I don’t understand 😱.

Anyway, I hope you stay. Congrats on 20 years of teaching! That’s hard work, especially if you care about the students, which you obviously do!

God, I love Drucker.

"Asked what a business is, the typical businessman is likely to answer "an organization that makes a profit". The typical economist is likely to give the same answer. This answer is not only false, it is irrelevant."

That's the opening sentence of an essay titled "The Purpose And Objectives Of A Business".

With help from outside influence groups, lawmakers work to ban action

"Idaho is one of several conservative states with bills this year aimed at prohibiting investment practices that use , or “environmental, social and governance” factors.

Senate Bill 1291 bans companies that do business with the state from boycotting energy industries, including , and the industry."

@CelloMomOnCars @chu

Idaho, being a very rural state (twice the land size of Pennsylvania, a sixth of the population of Pennsylvania), is strongly influenced by outside groups. Idaho used to be a lot more balanced and independent. Idaho is a good example of what happens when $’s allowed to dominate politics and institutions like the U.S. Electoral College and the U.S. Senate give outsized influence to rural states in national politics.
