One of my favorite AI image apps is promoting Elon Musk today. Have uninstalled and left a 1 star review explaining why. Is there a site or someplace where people are keeping track of all these companies that are supporting the new Nazis?

    If I had to boycott every company that was unethical, I’d have to grow my own food and generate my own electricity. It’s just not practical.

    It isn’t easy. But it is possible. And yes sacrifices have to be made (as I respond using a cell phone because I can’t function in society without one). The irony is not lost on me.

    But I stopped eating meat that I didn’t hunt or raise myself over 25 years ago. I spent years living in the woods using a second hand solar system that barely functioned. I’ve been growing as much food as I can for over 3 decades.

    It is possible. But I don’t expect everyone to make the same sacrifices that I have, and I do my best not to judge. But one of the biggest differences you can make in the world around you is who you support and who you give your money to.

    Just shrugging your shoulders and saying ‘oh well, it’s easier to just go with the flow’ is the opposite of solving the problem. I don’t expect everyone to just live the way I do. But I do push those around me to think about the difference they could make by choosing alternatives.

    Having a list of companies that support Musk is something I could use to help leverage others to make the first step in that direction.
