- thebiglebrewski 6y agoThis is great!
- s9w 6y agoThey should not do politics. And if they start listing names, maybe include all the statistics. This is dishonest.
- JustResign 6y agoThe fact that you call it "politics" shows that it doesn't affect you. This is literally life and death to a large portion of the population.
- gtf21 6y agoI don't think it's correct to say that calling it politics is somehow demeaning (however it's meant by the OP). Politics is really about the values our society wants to live by, so I think it is absolutely about politics! If we want our societies to care about the lives of all their citizens, to dismantle oppressive systems, and bring justice to the oppressed, then there is no way to do this apart from politics.

- gtf21 6y agoWhat do you think politics is/are?
- jgwil2 6y agoIt's a mark of respect for individuals who have lost their lives. There's nothing dishonest about that.
- s9w 6y agoBut what's so special about this case? Only the outage is. And the politics. And the virtue signalling. Many people died before and after.
- Simulacra 6y agoIs there anyone in PR or Marketing here that can explain the business sense for something like this? Serious question: Aside from "the right thing to do" how does a decision like this effect the business in the short, and long term?
