Haha, yep, you’re exactly describing my long held belief! “A quality product sells itself”. I didn’t understand that when you have an entirely new product people don’t understand WHY they need it, since that thing never existed before. “Educating the market” can also be called “marketing”.
Still, all other letters only clock 1 syllable. I vote we just go ahead and change the standard to “dub”.
As an engineer who hated marketing, started my own business, which subsequently failed due to my lack of understanding for the importance and proper execution of the marketing mission… I now have a deep respect, and appreciation of a well-run marketing function.
That just means you’d be taxing NZ citizens to pay the fee. Tariffs aren’t paid by the exporting country. They’re paid by the importer.
These morons would take us back to living in caves and knocking women over the head with clubs to claim their spouse if they had their druthers.
This juvenile “might makes right” perspective is so goddam infantile it’s almost laughable, if these weren’t the idiots with the guns.
The American right is acting in a way that is identical if they were fully compromised and acting as Russian agents. Promoting the dissolution of the EU only benefits Russia.
There is no longer any one-child policy. In 2016 it was updated to a 2 child policy. In 2021 it was expanded to 3 children.
Yep. Running the standard playbook. They wouldn’t do it, if it wasn’t so effective. Today they’d be calling the Boston Tea Party a bunch of anti-caffeine health nuts.
Repurposing existing pronouns is the problem. Other languages have nice, gender neutral pronouns. We just need a nice new, singular gender neutral pronoun.
Example…
He/she/fai Him/her/hai
Then make it standard to use the neutral version where gender doesn’t matter. Telling a story about your teacher? Is it pertinent we need to know the gender? No? Then standardize on the neutral version.
English has always been one of the most fluid languages. Why stop now? Just fix it.
That makes sense. My problem was I had zero competitors. It was a totally new product. No one knew why they needed it, so it never attracted any consumers. If there was an established product category you can rely on organic discovery.
