Combs claims Diageo’s decisions were often tinged with racism. He says he was adamant that DeLeon not offer flavored versions until customers had more time to learn about the brand. But Diageo went ahead and developed a watermelon flavor, even though Combs had previously warned the company to be careful about the racist history and negative connotations with watermelon in brands aimed at Black consumers.
Combs says internal Diageo documents also proposed downplaying Ciroc’s connection to Combs with the goal of rolling back its “image of being an African-American brand.”

Wasn’t this the same time period when the media was full of doom stories about the horrors of inflation and that the next great recession was coming soon?

Are you suggesting that a media owned by billionaires would present information in a way that benefits said billionaires? That seems like a little far fetched. /s

Here, however, is where the uniquely broken American state made the deaths of Titan passengers almost inevitable. First, because they weren’t passengers at all — they were employees.
That is right — you weren’t buying a ticket on a sub, you were technically funding research. You were going on the trip as a “mission specialist.” Why? Because the U.S. doesn’t care if you kill your employees. According to the specialists in the article, the regulations around the death of passengers will land you in trouble. The regulations around the death of crewmembers will not. Labor, as always, is expendable in the United States. Labor is not valuable, it is not even people — it is just a cost, an expense, like screws and toilet paper. And, apparently, treated with just as much concern by the government.

I can’t really post this in the GOP fascists thread so I guess I will put it here, for now, at least:
Bad.
This is bad.
Kudos to the Austrians who were willing to make the arrests, hold those accountable, and remember the first rule of history properly: to learn from it.
