I'm in the USA right now and I sure wish there was an equivalent choice in the USA.

The #corporatization problem is world-wide.

There was a time when Pride felt intimate. Not small, exactly, but personal. Like it belonged to us in ways that actually mattered.
But something has shifted.
#Pride is starting to feel less like resistance and more like a marketing opportunity.

Queer Joy Isn’t Corporate, It’s Communal.

How corporations stripped us of community, and how we can build it back.

@StephenRees Both #Ontario and #BritishColumbia have been captured by #extractiveIndustries and developers. The #corporatization of these provinces intends to roll over #humanrights, #IndigenousRights and title, #ecosystems health, and liveable #environments.

I Think Oliver Stone May Sue My University

Universities no longer have mission statements.  They have vision slogans. The slogans are part of university branding, which has replaced university mission

Postal workers are fighting the gigification of a vital public service ⋆ The Breach

Strikes by postal workers have paved the way for Canadians to enjoy maternity leave and job security. Now, they are fighting the casualization that threatens so many workers.

The AI killer app will be virtual friends. They can even go to work and school with you. Soon kids without one will be seen as weird. They will be much more emotionally useful than anything else. #AI #corporations #Corporatization #mentalhealth

The Chronicle of Higher Education is only just now seeing this? That could be part of the problem and the train has already left the station.

> .. progressive intellectuals who favored the process of #corporatization agreed more or less with this description. #WoodrowWilson.. wrote that "most men are servants of corporations," which now account for the "greater part of the business of the country" in a "very different America from the old, .. . no longer a scene of individual enterprise, … individual opportunity, and individual achievement," ..

Barbara Ehrenreich's book "Natural Causes: An Epidemic of Wellness, the Certainty of Dying, & Killing Ourselves to Live Longer" was sort of a strange #read. I'm usually a big fan, but she had her contrarianism cranked up to 110% here. If read thoughtful, it's a decent critique of #medicalization, and the #corporatization of longevity & death/dying. But, she seems to selectively use research, without noting the average benefits of #PreventativeMedicine. Also uses lots of anecdotal exceptions.

Given #corporatization of everything I can't tell if this is true or not; it does have a high truthinest factor. Would you happen to have the patent number.
