if you've ever been in some sort of teacher or boss role, you know the easy way to get back to doing nothing is to give anyone who complains frequently whatever they want. This costs you $0 Nearly all corporations and governments react the same to online pressure

The fascinating thing is that online pressure comes from all quarters, so the amount of it that yields various lip service results is accelerating.

I used to isolate the grade grubbers and frequent absentee excuse makers early on and offer them As right off the bat. Many were shocked that I not only anticipated their demands but required no explanation. I did this because it was not only free but saved me time (which is $)!

Imagine doing this across the hundreds of thousands of little pressure groups and squads that can form online. You'd need a program to keep up with all the changes! Meanwhile offline people just stumble through life, hearing bits and pieces about these changes

I rely on my mom as a bellwether of this sort. When she told me she'd "been hearing a lot about Ulysses S. Grant lately," I knew the work was being done. She had processed it as she did other factoids: "been hearing Amazon is doing well," "there's a lot of this COVID," etc.
