Former GOP Senate Candidate Has Possibly The Worst Take On Zelenskyy's Speech To Congress.

Russia warns Bosnia and Herzegovina that it will face the same fate as Ukraine if it decides to be a part of NATO.  

Conversely, Russia warns that BiH will have same fate if they don't join NATO.

Good on Schwarzenegger. I really hope it makes some difference, but most information channels have been shut down in Russia to make sure that the Russian citizens have no access to anything remotely true.

 

Photoshop battle!

I'm not sure he knows much about respect.

Peter's a little whacky, but nothing like his dad.  I have a friend who does some work for him.  He believes in metal because the IRS took all his dad's money (google Irwin Schiff)

Putin is rumored to be purging the Kremlin of Russian officials he blames for the faltering invasion of Ukraine.

Putin 'in better shape than ever', Belarus leader says.  

That means he's probably terminally ill.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy accuses Nestle and Auchan of using 'cheap PR' to justify continued business in Russia.

Yup - this is the opportunity to apply the rest of the world sanctions on Nestle products.

Looking at the brand diagram, the only one we regularly buy is KitKat. No longer.

You still have a possibility. KitKat is handled by Hershey, Nestle's rival, in the US. So maybe avoid elsewhere, but stock up from US and double the economic damage to Nestle.

Who would have thought that KitKat chocolate finger biscuits was a global brand?

I ain't buying any more of them.

One more diversion point. When I was a kid on a family friends boat on Lake Erie and crossing over to the Canadian island Pelee, literally all I remember about any cultural differences were that KitKats had a different name (at the time), Rowntree. It seemed so sophisticated. For a few years in this brain KitKats were THE global brand.

Nestle has been on the shit list for decades, due to pushing formula instead of breastfeeding in developing countries. Countless babies sick or dead from sub-optimal nutrition and formula prepared in unsanitary conditions. In this context, I'm not sure anything will push the needle on their corporate practices

Should be an easy protest for me. I don't buy any of those brands. 

This interview is amazing.  I listened to the whole thing last night, and repeated large parts of it.  The ending is particularly scary.

How shocking that a Nestle subsidiary called Vichy Laboratories might not be doing the right thing.
