By definition, if the business venture isn’t profitable, then there isn’t a market.
REI in downtown Portland pulled out and publicly said it was because of rising crime, but it was really because the employees were trying to unionize.
Effective protests are disruptive.
It’s an extremely weak argument for this very reason
Poor auditing? Mate, they only audit for you doing what you say you’re doing. And if you say you play peek-a-boo, and the auditors watch you play peek-a-boo, you’re golden. ISO auditors aren’t experts at whatever it is you’re manufacturing and measuring, they are only experts on ISO standards. ISO trusts that you as the manufacturer are the expert in what you’re making.
ISO9000 is a joke. They don’t care what you do, they only care that you do what you said you’re doing. So if your inspection process is “we play peek-a-boo with the widget and if it’s still on the table when we open our eyes, it’s good to ship”. ISO only cares that you have a peek-a-boo procedure and your inspectors are trained on how to play peek-a-boo.
I thought your references were oddly vague, so I looked into them. Factual information, like David Cole, the Holocaust denier? Sounds real trustworthy
Most metal parts testing is destructive. I.e., once you test the parts, they are destroyed and you can’t use them anymore. That’s why the trust I certificates is so important. They certify that metal from the same batch passed those tests. That’s why it’s a huge safety risk if the certs are fake, there’s no guarantee that the metal can meet the requirements, and no way to test without breaking the parts.
Parents have the option of homeschooling their kids. That’s them exercising their authority. But public school curriculum should be decided by an apolitical body that follows evidence based practices. Don’t like it as a parent? Then homeschool.
You’re right. There’s zero Jewish representation in the Arab world while Arabs make up about 20% of the Israeli population (and hold positions of power within the country). Israel is a tolerant society while saud, Qatar, etc. are largely intolerant of Jewish existence (they genocided their own Jewish populations).
