Arguably since the first agricultural revolution 10,000+ years ago, work has been tied to a fixed location.

Therefore, we always formed cities, countries, and societies primarily through location-based opportunity. Go where the work is, as they say. For the first time in…

  1. Tell me it’s not so! Aldi is a place I frequent and spend a good deal of money at. NO MORE.

    I am doing my homework on places that are cutting their DEI policy off. It’s going backwards and I will not support any business/store/company who supports Donald Trump and his rediculous policies.

    I am boycotting Aldi, Sam’s Club, Walmart. Kudos to Costco.
