  1. It's not cancellation. It's voting with the wallet. Cancellation is when you actively impede. In this case, anyone has the freedom to buy the beers.

  2. The boycott should last till the end of the company, so the next one knows that could happen to them.

  3. 7:15 Well, well, well, I canceled Netflix when I spent much more time watching Trump vs libs and all the election fraud happening live 🤣 It was very entertaining to see people being sent back home, then vote being counted under the table (yeah, literally). Computer who had a bug that seemed to only favor one party... The company (dominion) which fled... the FBI being caught, a lying colonel. Much, much better than most movies and shows. And in EU, all of that was ignored, so most people had no awareness. Only lefty things did percolate. So, I had extra fun explaining the main things and seeing people being clueless about it. "Ah yeah, I am well informed" oh, so you know why they blocked window in the hall 🤣 Now, I am waiting the part II : Trump returns. There is the other thing with Trump vs Twitter that is funny as heck too.

  4. "That's my opinion": Thank you, you will be terminated. Teachers CAN'T give their opinions. This is that way because teachers can impression kids. Teachers are authority figures. And the younger the pupils are, the graver it is. You've hours of training to learn how to manage that part, even if you teach maths. Because students are curious and will inevitably ask you what you think about various subjects. As you can't answer, you have to give an answer that broadens the student's view but does not permit the student to know where you stand. The USA probably has that same policy, hence the back peddling of the teacher, "But that's not my opinion. It's their policy". Teachers are not robots, so it's acceptable to have some slip-ups. But a slip-up is not putting down a student or actively promoting your ideals. A slip like inadvertently telling, "Let's share equally since it is how it should be." And the training goes further. One of my peers wanted to be a bit poetic, so he said, "... and nature created ..." and was halted on the spot by our teacher. You can't even say that because it introduces mysticism by personificating nature.
