Re:Impacts of Google's decision to extend remote work to July 2021

My main concern might be a secondary effect. But at least in Mexico, people who were staying at home were reporting more domestic violence. Is there a way that along with new changes, Google and other corporations might look for ways to mitigate the effects of staying at home?

I'm happy to see founders raising large amounts of money. But for some founders, the mean investment seems to be around $1000. I was wondering if there was a way to see the different portions that make up the total money raised. Also, is there a set amount people typically invest? I find this might be important to understand if the platform is truly building “a network of everyday folks” or just have some experienced investors experimenting with a new platform.

I can see the logic behind this. But at this point, my main concern is that people who can afford to invest $100 are not investing. Do they know about Wefunder? Can they tell the difference between Wefunder and Kickstarter? Do they understand the jargon even as explained with the website's current definitions?
Re:Apple’s Climate Plan Is Even More Interesting Than It Appears

The post reminded me about something a friend said to me once: sure, you can be a consumer with a conscious mind. But if you want to change the world, run a business with that same conscious mind. If we want to fight against climate change, do we stop at living sustainably and persuading others to live sustainably, or should we go further and build products that will make the world more sustainable at scale?
