REMEMBER: THIS Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can DO this. I'm IN, are YOU?

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Look, I'm glad Costco folks are getting a raise, but pretty sure that's because their union was about to strike, not because Costco is some benevolent company. And yes, the company pushing back against the DEI witch hunt WAS the right call. Two things: true at the same time.
