A NEW LOW IN CORPORATE VIRTUE-SIGNALING.
Powerline ^ | July 15,2018 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 07/15/2018 6:37:56 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Office space sharing company WeWork says it is no longer serving red or white meat at company events.

In an email to employees Thursday, co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Miguel McKelvey said the company won’t serve pork, poultry or red meat, and it won’t allow employees to expense meals that include those meats to the company. Fish will stay on the menu.

I would love to be present when a WeWork marketer takes a prospective client to lunch and explains that he can’t order a hamburger or a chicken salad sandwich. WeWork’s “Chief Creative Officer”–that’s a bad sign, right there–explains the company’s theory:

McKelvey said the change means WeWork will use less water and produce less carbon dioxide as well as saving the lives of animals. *** The policy is effective immediately and also applies to the company’s Summer Camp gathering i August. McKelvey wrote that WeWork could save 10,000 animals by eliminating meat at the upcoming Summer Camp event.

WeWork apparently thinks the “saved” cows will spend their days gamboling in meadows, while “saved” chickens will retire to old fowls’ homes. Someone should explain to these morons that such animals are raised for the sole purpose of being slaughtered. If demand for pork declines, the price of pork will fall and fewer pigs will be raised. But none will be “saved.”

It would be entertaining to calculate how much impact the decline in carbon dioxide emissions resulting from WeWork’s new policy (if any) will have on global temperatures. I’m not sure there are enough zeros for that calculation. I am not in the market for WeWork’s services, but if I were, I would hire someone else, on the assumption that any company that is 1) this dumb, and 2) this distracted from its core mission is probably incompetent.

I’m telling you the left is descending into madness. No hyperbole, they are honestly losing the ability to think rationally.

Virtue-signaling is the highest value for the left these days.

E.g., sacrificing red-state Democrat senators to a hopeless vote against Kavanaugh.

Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.

Yes, Miguel McKelvey looks as smug as you think he would.

Here's hoping this guy and all the employees reach “Room temperature SOON!...

Mission Accomplished!

I thought that the main thrust of business was making money. Not controlling employees lives.

to make an accusation of virtue signaling is an act of virtue signaling.

the term should be removed from the language on the grounds of sheer stupidity.

“But don’t fish have feelings?”

Fish are not cute like a cow or Bambi or Babe, so libs don’t give a rats arse about them. All emotion, no rational thinking.

It’s his company and any free food offered is a bonus to employees. He can serve whatever he wants.

And there’s nothing wrong with fish. When I go out to eat, I almost always order fish.

Since the commies have already informed us serfs that cow & steer flatulence is a major contributor to global warming, guess, the increased & protected life-span of these critters will accelerate the AGW process...

Forget Greenland...The whole northeast (Soviet part of the country) will soon be inundated by tidal waves caused by thousands of cow-fart-caused icebergs floating into Boston and New York harbors...

Proggies just cannot get cause/effect, action/reaction, natural law, logic or reason. It’s all emotion for them, feelings, appearances.

And we continually watch the unintended consequences of their choices bite them in the ass.

Not to mention what it will do to the farm economy.

I suggest a CORPORATE NAME CHANGE.

From WeWork to WeGoBankrupt.

Tons of toxic sewage and waste is dumped daily into our biosphere, without any regulations or controls… it often pretends to be “science”, “economic justice”, “fairness” and “equality”. In reality it destroys real science, liberty, faith and spirit, replacing them with the parasite of poisoned ideology. This septic mixture like a pathogen causes painful symptoms… as it creates and cultivates discontent, hopelessness, frustration, anger and even violence in the heart and mind of all those it infects. Early signs are always blaming others for any shortcomings one encounters and freaking out hearing any views but their own... rationing and controlling every aspect of our soon to be miserable lives… mandating what we eat, what we drive, how we live and what we’re permitting to think and believe.
