Quote from: Prof Emeritus at Fawk U on December 13, 2024, 07:40:37 PMWhat gets me is there are a lot of fast food places still using styro containers, yet McDonald's gave up on that in the 90s.  Why aren't the tree huggers bitching about the mom and pop places that still use styro?

It's not exactly the same, but I read that paper bags have a bigger environmental impact than plastic bags.

I never saw McDonald's matchbooks.

They had that stuff in the 80's too! I seem to remember when they got rid of those ashtrays in the 80's.

I was at a flea market over the summer and some schmuck had a stack of those gold ashtrays. He was trying to get $5 a piece for them.

Someone should tell Joe.

Speaking of McDonalds...

McDonald's is the latest company to roll back diversity goals



Four years after launching a push for more diversity in its ranks, McDonald's is ending some of its diversity practices, citing a U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed affirmative action in college admissions.

McDonald's is the latest big company to shift its tactics in the wake of the 2023 ruling and a conservative backlash against diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Walmart, John Deere, Harley-Davidson and others rolled back their DEI initiatives last year.

McDonald's said Monday it will retire specific goals for achieving diversity at senior leadership levels. It also intends to end a program that encourages its suppliers to develop diversity training and to increase the number of minority group members represented within their own leadership ranks.

McDonald's said it will also pause "external surveys." The burger giant didn't elaborate, but several other companies, including Lowe's and Ford Motor Co., suspended their participation in an annual survey by the Human Rights Campaign that measures workplace inclusion for LGBTQ+ employees.
