But think of the short-term shareholder value! Have you no decency?

I think Leavitt is picturing all the propaganda she can spin out of this

Yeah in all the libraries I’ve been to the standard policy is usually no food, no drinks except water. Maybe it’s the soda lobby which wouldn’t tolerate discrimination between water and soda?

Thanks for the interesting read!

My condolences on the state of the US food industry as a whole, and dairy in particular. As a European who loves their cheeses, it saddens me how a product that’s not cheap but accessible can be gatekept economically like that in the US.

Don’t be hard on yourself about it though, to me this is a systemic failure. You clearly did your research, even though the “cheese platter” available to you is small and mostly gross ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

If you’re looking for a hobby though: making cheese yourself doesn’t require any expensive stuff except milk (and in some cases time). You may have come across making mozzarella at home, which you can do in a day. But other cheese is possible too: apparently you can make a young cheese with yoghurt as the culture which starts fermentation!

My guess is they’ll ship them off to Israel as soon as consequences are a real possibility. People accused of pedophilia often do the same thing and get away with it.

Can’t wait for the day Satya Nadella gets fired, hopefully it will happen when the AI bubble bursts
