Repairing Our Clothes 🧵

Thanks to the latest WRAP report (Feb 2025) we finally have some statistics about how choosing to #repair our #clothes and buying #SecondHand is having an impact.

🇬🇧 It's disheartening how many #diversity programs at #Meta, #Amazon, #Disney and other companies are getting abolished because of the change of government in the #US, but at the same time, it wonderfully shows the truth underneath it all: #BigCompanies and #MassMedia don't really care about #inclusion or diversity - for them, it was just a trend that they followed like any other, and once it becomes "out of fashion", they'll discard it just as quickly.

🇩🇪 Es ist deprimierend, wie viele Diversitätsprogramme bei Meta, Amazon, Disney und anderen Unternehmen wegen dem Regierungswechsel in den #USA eingestampft werden, aber gleichzeitig zeigt es auf ganz wundervolle Art ihr wahres Gesicht: #Großunternehmen und #Massenmedien liegt nicht wirklich etwas an #Inklusion oder Vielfalt – für sie war es nur ein Trend, dem sie gefolgt sind wie jedem anderen, und sobald es „aus der Mode“ ist, lassen sie es genauso schnell wieder fallen.

The E.U.’s Court of Justice in Luxembourg backed a landmark 2016 decision that #Ireland broke state-aid law by giving the #iPhone maker an unfair advantage.

Any chance that #Google and #Microsoft are purposefully degrading their regular search results, so that desparate people in search for information try their rotten chat bots?
