In my experience, you find out BONTO! had a security breach via an Ars Technica article published around 4 months after the fact because the data was found on the dark web. Zero correspondence from the company itself except in rare circumstances
Because TurboTax lobbied to change the narrative to "we already have private market solutions for tax, therefore the government hosting a no-cost option is actually wasteful and bad for the budget"
I don't disagree that they're different terms, but I personally know a bunch of people who buy sorbet and call it sherbert, and basically use the terms interchangeably
In the US, I've heard it called shaved ice/snow cone if it's freshly ground ice with flavor added by a person, popsicle if it comes in a single serving, and sorbet (often pronounced "sherbert") if it comes in a tub. Usually sorbet tastes the most uniform and has the softest texture, but shaved ice at the County Fair on a hot sunny day hits like nothing else! (Also hits your wallet like nothing else too but that's event pricing for ya)
Sometimes we call the squeeze tubes otter pops but I'm pretty sure that's a brand name we use as a generic term.
The more you beg for the job, the more it signals to a prospective employer that you need it and don't have alternatives. That means they can string you out much easier.
On the corollary, someone's feelings can be a very important factor in addressing a situation. If you are to operate purely on logic, that logic needs to take into account the psychology and feelings of others when making a decision to maximize your intended effect. Doing something that "needs to be done" but pissing everyone else off in the process might lead them to undo your work purely out of spite, even if you were correct in your initial assessment.
Once a business enterprise reaches a size where it can afford to influence government policy to benefit said enterprise at the expense of its competitors, it's in that business' best interest to do so. A business which plays by the rules and behaves ethically will be usurped by one that's willing to bend the rules into its favor.
Once things reach this point, the line between government and corporation blurs, and you get a state that will prioritize private gains of its corporate lobbies and bribes instead of the gains of its people and the health of society as a whole.
Therefore, ruthless and totalitarian antitrust of private enterprise must be incorporated to ensure a fair market with competition and choice can flourish, should you wish to go that route. Your business makes up so much as 1% of your industry's domestic output? That business needs to be broken up into like 4 pieces.
At that level of wealth, it is easy to insulate oneself from anyone who would actually give helpful advice, and even easier to find oneself in the company of yes men suckups.
