  1. why were they spending so much money on these changes:

    you have to understand the public health context of 1994: we are still at the height of the #AIDS #pandemic but, after 12 years of fascist antigay policy from Reagan and Bush, 1994 felt like a pivot towards destigmatizing the disease.

    so some genius at CP thought it would be great for the company to pivot to “antimicrobial all the things!”

  4. The development ⁠was the sharpest escalation yet in a broad #Republican & #Trump admin campaign to re-litigate the #pandemic & assign blame for the toll of actions taken as part of the US response.

    Trump said the #DOJ ​should potentially prosecute #Fauci, comparing him to allies #PeterNavarro & #SteveBannon, who both served 4 months in #prison for contempt of #Congress after defying subpoenas [they didn’t even go to their hearings].

  9. I wonder how much money the company got from the federal government, in addition to the $10M+ Québec investment?

    According to the creditor filing, Goodfood sold its investments in an "exchange-traded fund indexed to the performance of #Bitcoin..." 🤦‍♀️

  11. One week. That may be all it takes.
