Greene’s past actions have consequences, and refusing to completely disavow them (which she has not) means a responsible organization (which the Republicans are not) simply cannot let this slide.

«…she also attempted to blame “cancel culture” for her troubles and the media for how she’s come across, saying, “big media companies can take teeny, tiny pieces of words that I said, that you have said, any of us, and can portray us into someone that we’re not.”

….

Despite the private apology to her colleagues, Greene has not explicitly apologized for her conduct publicly, despite bipartisan calls for her to do so.»

Ok…

(1) Holy moly, Teen Vogue, when did being woke* come into fashion and when will it go out of fashion?

And also…

(2) Hmm. Greatest, Boomers, X, Millennials, Z. On the theory that generations run in cycles of 4, I’m expecting great things from y’all Gen Z-ers. Yay! \o/

*AbsoLUTEly not making fun of being woke.

We got these lives for free

we don’t know where they’ve been

We don’t know where they’ll go

when we are through with them
The starlight of the sun

the dark side of the moon

And in the air the questions hang
Will we get to do something
Who we gonna end up being
How we gonna end up feeling
What you gonna spend your free life on?

«we controlled for known potential drivers of both downsizing and bankruptcy. These included the size of the firm, changes in market capitalization, prior performance, profitability, trajectory toward bankruptcy (using the Altman Z score), a large number of employees per sales relative to their industry peers, and other indicators of financial health. As firms might differ in number of employees they downsized, we controlled for the percentage of employees reduced in each downsizing event. We also accounted for the number of acquisitions in the previous five years (since downsizing often occurs after acquisitions) and industry differences. We further confirmed our findings across a different time period (1995–2000).

We found that downsizing firms were twice as likely to declare bankruptcy as firms that did not downsize.»
