  • Well, probably because if they use that metric, a ton of other companies, many US based (though unsure if Brazil cares about that part) would be on the list too. There was an older Last Week Tonight episode about how much cheap clothes and luxury clothes ended up having subcontractors that used slaves.

    Owners would claim they had no idea, would fire the subcontractor, then sometimes the issue would repeat. I recall one claim was that their subcontractors would farm out work to even more subcontractors as the reason why, but that still feels like passing the buck.







  • Those discussions are happening in some places, but there doesn’t seem to be as much here. There are people going for lower state positions, attempts and petitions for getting ranked choice voting, and people trying to challenge from the left in Dem primaries. Which all does have to do with voting, but has the potential to pull Dems more left. People do reach out to their reps, but between money and team sports I’m not sure how effective that is.

    The current system and environment is very much built to allow two parties to keep fighting while ignoring third parties, and getting out of that within the confines of the system is a slow process. Slow processes also suffer from people’s impatience, often not changing things fast enough and losing support.


  • Others have given probably similar examples, but Arin’s Mega Man X video both agrees with you and the post. It points out how some games used limited options in games (and showing examples before you died) to train you on ways the game works without the yellow paint. Your point is that games today don’t have the same limitations such as only travel right at the start, whereas the video points out there should be environmental designs that lead you to the answer.

    With fully free 3d environments it’s harder to do that without yellow paint though.
