For retailers, this causes sales interruptions and a lot of other problems. Suspensions are more difficult to come by on eBay than on Amazon. Therefore, they should be taken very seriously.<a href="https://ondersteuningtelefoonnummer.weebly.com/blog2/ebay-account-opgeschort-hier-leest-u-hoe-u-het-snel-kunt-verhelpen" rel="nofollow">eBay Contact Nederland</a>Elinathomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17169692998380075272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-69664952641055614962021-05-04T19:42:53.531-04:002021-05-04T19:42:53.531-04:00Thanks, Jon.

Yeah, these days I'm half-expecting to run into Captain Barbossa somewhere and hearing him say "You best start believin' in conspiracy theories. You're in one." Between all the GIGO and dogs that aren't barking when it comes to Winnie the Flu, how the first impulse when it hit was the biggest power grab since the Patriot Act, and just how brazen the left's been with things like the "fortify the election" Time article, floating crap like the Great Reset, and generally not even bothering to hide their Orwellian impulses it's hard <b><i>not</i></b> to feel like you've fallen down the rabbit hole. Still, we're always glad to have a new face around here!<br /><br />Andrew, indeed. They're not even trying to hide it anymore. Not sure how many parts of this are arrogance and how many parts of it are stupidity but it's a dangerous brew. The corporate angle is especially insidious since that always brings out so many muh principles conservatives and libertarians who defend this crap on the basis of "it's a private company, they can do what they want, don't like it start your own" and just how tricky it is to make an argument for free markets when corporate abuses are ripe ground for socialist true believers to peddle their crap. Hope you don't mind me linking to your first round of thoughts on this, <a href="https://toddofmischief.blogspot.com/2021/04/corporations-are-children.html" rel="nofollow">Mr. Todd of Mischief</a> since it is a good starting point.ArgentGalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173296751792700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-91042992997871809452021-05-04T00:19:25.183-04:002021-05-04T00:19:25.183-04:00Hi Jon, Diversity training is despicable.

And corporate America is totally complicit in this. I'm glad the Republicans are at least starting to see this.<br /><br /> On the pandemic, I think what really happened was that this was spread by rich liberals. I don't know where it came from, but "the powers that be" freaked out that the public might realize that they were the ones spreading it as they traveled to parties all over the world and they worried the public might rise up. (They did spread it, which is why it spread so fast and heavily through Hollywood, the media and the rich and famous, but took forever to hit the poor and middle classes).<br /><br /> So our elites lied and placed the blame on China (who may actually be guilty) and they tried to distract people with talk of poor people suffering the worst, evil right-wing crazies not wearing masks, flooded the world with conspiracy theories, etc. Anything that would keep people from looking at the actual evidence. Even now, the media has lied through its teeth to make this a red state v. blue state thing to keep people from looking.<br /><br /> That said, I think the Democrats and the media also exploited it like crazy to attack Trump. And you are correct that China is the ally of our elites/Democrats.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-70994248941862275742021-05-04T00:18:50.941-04:002021-05-04T00:18:50.941-04:00BTW, Jon, I've got some interesting theories o...BTW, Jon, I've got some interesting theories on why investment banks are buying up homes across the country.

The reason is that they don't actually care about the issues themselves, only the power that can be gained from using the issue.

I’m not one who comments. I’m going to comment now.<br />Maybe this is a bit tin-foil, but I think the pandemic was a deliberate attempt by China and was facilitated through Biden, his son, and others to destroy our culture and institutions. All of this was part of a coordinated attempt to steal the election. I think this occurred at the grass-roots level.<br />I think momentum was one of the tactics, and subterfuge a regular tool.<br />I work for JP Morgan Chase in Wilmington as a data scientist, and I am ashamed. I am weekly trained in Diversity & Inclusion and have no escape. I have no recourse and have to pretend to agree with everything they say. <br /><br />Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739206530879253618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-90885476268585136972021-05-02T17:16:25.656-04:002021-05-02T17:16:25.656-04:00Indeed, Andrew, and nothing makes that clearer tha...Indeed, Andrew, and nothing makes that clearer than their relationship with China. They wring their hands and virtue signal about America all day long while ignoring conveniently ignoring how much of their stuff comes from Chinese sweatshops, if not full-on Uyghur slave labor, and they see the Chinese population numbers alone and think it's the market they've been waiting for not realizing that outside the CCP elites practically nobody there can afford their stuff. And I'm with you on that tryanmax, anti-Semitism has been ramping up for a while now and it's worrying.ArgentGalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173296751792700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-69286809368118339832021-05-02T15:39:16.795-04:002021-05-02T15:39:16.795-04:00Knock on wood, I don't have the greatest confi...Knock on wood, I don't have the greatest confidence that it <i>won't</i> become fashionable again. tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-17888461617231780332021-05-01T23:35:20.780-04:002021-05-01T23:35:20.780-04:00Daniel, Corporate America is not loyal, not moral,...Daniel, Corporate America is not loyal, not moral, and not conservative.

At least Basecamp seems to see where "corporate social responsibility" (crap that was being pushed in business schools even 15 or so years ago) is taking companies <a href="https://world.hey.com/jason/changes-at-basecamp-7f32afc5" rel="nofollow">and is adjusting course accordingly</a>. Had to wade through some annoying woke wangsting about things like employees quitting over this change to dig that letter back up but I suspect nothing of value will be lost with those resignations. I can't claim this is an original comparison of mine but the left, especially the woke, really are coming across like a wounded feral animal. It doesn't have much time left and it knows it so it's just determined to tear down everything on its way out. Let's hope whatever damage is done isn't permanent and that their crap finally gets banished to the far fringes soon.ArgentGalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173296751792700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-15195914648313323062021-04-30T11:07:52.434-04:002021-04-30T11:07:52.434-04:00tryanmax, Agreed all around.

The only real questions at this point are (1) will they leave any permanent damage and (2) what does the Democratic party look like after Biden dies... they've been trending very woke beneath him. Will they continue or will someone save them?<br /><br />Agreed on schools. The leftist administrations have really opened a Pandora's box by pissing off parents, who are very active and very involved. Those parents are forming into groups and are starting to take down the bad guys.<br /><br />AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-55285088789686595612021-04-30T00:46:37.791-04:002021-04-30T00:46:37.791-04:00Just getting to this.

Thinking of the Year of the Woman that never seems to arrive, I have a running joke where I call every female super-hero movie the “first ever.” Because that is how they are ALL marketed. <br /><br />I’ve been telling folks every chance I get that the increasingly crazy woke stuff are the actions of a desperate ideology trying to get whatever it can before it blinks out. Few like to hear it—either because they need a boogie man or (worse) they like woke—but that’s what I see. You don’t start blazing through your wildly unpopular bucket list unless you think you don’t have long left. <br /><br />Plus, there are some great things happening in education. Parents and teachers are standing up to critical race theory and catching headlines along the way. Public school wokenistas have publicly and nationally beclowned themselves on zoom. And generally people have lost whatever fear/respect they had for teachers unions. I think administrators have the summer to change their tunes if they don’t want to be forced out of their jobs. tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.com
