Eh, advertising has some tangible positive contributions to society. Public transportation would find it hard to exist without advertising, for example. Without advertising, there would be significantly fewer news publications, and news media would cost a premium for the reader or would have to become the responsibility of the state. Many other goods and services would cost significantly more.

Even if it is not the most ideal of ways to achieve this effect, the fact is that advertising eases the strain on the wallet for the middle and lower class.

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
