  You’re not wrong, but I’d still encourage everyone to celebrate the small victories. If we wait for perfection it may never come.

    “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the merely good” is one (imo important) way to state it.

      Yes, but framing is important. Saying “Oh look what our perfect corporate buddies over at Taylor let us do even though it’s their call” (a huge lie btw.) vs. saying “We finally got this victory, we can finally do part of what we should’ve never have been unable to do due to corporate greed, thank you Taylor for getting some sense, it seems like your scrooges still have some semblance of a soul left” is a big difference. Sure, the truth is somewere in-betweeen these two extremes but it’s much closer to the latter than the former.

        Oh, tbh I was just commenting the sort of “pithy” way to say what commenter above me was saying. I wasn’t actually commenting on the situation, screw McDonalds and Taylor both lol

    as long as we are walking forwards, and not backwards or sideways, we can go one step at a time.

    The only Victory I see in my medium term future is leaving the country. The US is fucked and honestly I don’t see that recovering any time soon

    Plus it’s still an improvement over the alternative.
