The “Worse On Purpose” blog continues their very interesting investigations, this time turning their attention to Whole Foods. The pre-Amazon history of the chain was a lot more dramatic than I thought.
“Carney Under the Sway of the Broligarchs”: that’s always been my problem with Mark Carney. He thinks like a banker, and that means listening to the people with money, rather that the people he’s supposed to serve.
