Replying to @VerdonschotGijs
@VerdonschotGijs I think you can hustle at the beginning to prove out a concept.

But ongoing, to have a sustainable business, people have to consistently be looking for “accommodation in San Jose, CA” on Google and finding you.

@happydragos But, haven’t some profit-seeking companies also proved themselves untrustworthy in the past?

(The tobacco industry, the Ford Pinto, Exxon Valdez oil spill)

And isn’t the New York Times also a company serving customers? Do you trust them?

@dvassallo @Mqsley @ggreenwald Btw - I’m making a big deal of this because I know (and love) people who supported Trump.

Half my family in Ohio voted for him.

But also, my Uncle (who supported Trump, and believed his early lies about the pandemic) recently died from COVID.

@dvassallo @Mqsley @ggreenwald He is similar to Hitler, in that Hitler used the democratic process to gain power. Millions of people supported him.

Similarly, millions of people are supporting a different kind of tyrant in Trump.

I’m not discounting the value of these people; but millions can be deceived.

Replying to @dvassallo
@dvassallo @Mqsley @ggreenwald I’m not saying that Trump is “exactly like Hitler.”

But he is objectively bad, on multiple fronts: climate change, science denial, racism (“shit hole countries”), covid response, destroying democratic institutions, amplifying conspiracies, sowing division and mania.

@IAmSunnyDan There’s no reasonable suspicion yet by anyone credible.

Who, besides the President’s entourage, is saying this?

What proof have they presented?

Replying to @DallinCoons
@DallinCoons From every angle, Trump is incompetent and incorrigible.

We have 4 years of evidence that shows who he is.

He is, at this very moment, trying to stop the election process and ongoing vote counts.

That is the very definition of authoritarian.

@adii When you say "stagger" is there a systematic way to do that? Or, do you just stagger your conversions manually?

@cforsythdev I see what you’re saying (people clearly have their reasons).

If we’re going to get semantic: there’s no *good* justification for voting for Trump.

@jonfitzsimon @justinvincent @ted_pitts @harryhollander Yes, but the “total market value” for cold brew coffee is huge.

Your customers want cold brew coffee.

They’re searching for it on Amazon, which is a channel.

You’re selling a version of it, which people are buying.

But it’s the category as a whole that’s pulling in customers.

@sfermigier @TimVanDijck I’m not trying to debate the policy issues.

But I have a handful of EU friends who had to spend days migrating their servers when that ruling came down.

Regardless of the overriding policy issues; it gives North American startups an edge.
